(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has approved a contract with a McPherson accounting firm to administer the nearly $1.6 million the county has been awarded for cornavirus relief.
The Commission voted Monday to enter into a contract with Swindoll Janzen Hawk and Loyd to assist the county with administration, reporting and auditing requirements.
The firm will provide the services for a cost not to exceed $35,000, which will be reimbursed through the COVID-19 relief funds the county has received.
The county received proposals from two firms.
Governor Kelly's SPARK Task Force last month distributed $400 million in federal funding to local governments to help address the health and economic challenges inflicted by COVID-19.
The county must turn in a plan by August 15 for how it's share of the funding will be spent.
Counties are encouraged to share the funds with cities, school districts and businesses.
