(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission is preparing for a forthcoming audit.
That follows word received earlier this month that the IRS is planning an audit in regards to the Atchison County Sports Complex facilities in Atchison and Effingham.
Commissioner Jeff Schuele tells MSC News the Commission last week moved forward with retaining a public finance law firm to represent the County during the audit.
Schuele presented to the Commission the need to retain Kansas City's Gilmore and Bell for that purpose. His two fellow Commissioners agreed, unanimously approving that decision.
The audit will focus on more than $5 million in Kansas Sales Tax Revenue Bonds issued in 2007 for the purchase of the property where the sports complex facilities stand. The bonds were also used for the construction and maintenance of the facilities, funded through a voter approved quarter-cent sales tax.
