(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.
