McKinley County Manager Anthony Dimas Jr. issued a final report Jan. 19 on the two grants awarded from the State of New Mexico: McKinley County CARES Act Local Government Grant ($16.1 million) and McKinley County Small Business Grant ($2.4 million):

“This was a reimbursable grant and the County Commissioner borrowed and budgeted funds from our general fund to get the CARES Act Projects going and we will be putting the funds back once Finance is done doing what they need to do with journal entries, budgets, etc.

McKinley County has received approval from the N.M. Dept. of  Finance and Administration for all pay requests sent to DFA and as of last week [week of Jan. 10] we have received all payments from those pay requests. There was a total of 25 pay requests (reimbursements) sent to DFA based on the CARES Act Local Government Grant and there was a total of two pay requests (reimbursements) sent to DFA based on the CARES Act Small Business Grant and all have been approved and paid by NM DFA.

Our Number One goal was to have everything expended and sent to DFA by Dec. 30, and that goal was accomplished on time and the second goal was to get all the pay request approvals paid out by DFA and that goal was accomplished as well.

McKinley County stands ready to move quickly if there is a second round of CARES Act Funding.”
