Dickinson County to receive $3.6 million in virus relief

November 2, 2020

Dickinson County officials learned earlier this year that the county would receive $3.6 million in coronavirus relief to reimburse municipalities and school districts for COVID-19 related expenses.

Dickinson County received the funds in July from the state’s Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas (SPARK) Taskforce Executive Committee, charged with distributing more than a billion dollars in federal funds Kansas received as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Dickinson County is the fiscal agent in charge of distributing the funds.

Entities could apply for funding in two categories: One, reimbursement for any COVID-related expense; and two, mitigation money for direct aid to purchase items to help deal with COVID issues.

“When we learned we were getting that money we immediately set up a meeting with the cities and school districts at Sterl Hall — where we could social distance as much as we could — to see how we could best strategically plan” to distribute the funds, County Administrator Brad Homman said during the Oct. 22 county commission meeting.

Cities, school districts and the county were required to submit receipts and paperwork justifying their requests.

“I’m glad to say we honored every request we got from a city or school district,” Homman said.

The county also distributed money to Central Kansas Mental Health to help the organization deal with the mental health issues associated with the pandemic.
