Hutchinson, Kansas:
ARPA Grant Program Administration
Located on the Arkansas River, and home to nearly 40,000 people, the city of Hutchinson, Kansas is the county seat and annually hosts the Kansas State Fair. Faced with the devastating effects of the pandemic, the City engaged iParametrics to oversee over $6 million in ARPA funds, grant administration, compliance, reporting, project eligibility verification, and financial tracking.
Situation
Hutchinson needed a trusted partner to support federal compliance, mitigate financial risks, and develop tailored administrative systems to manage ARPA programs and expenditures during pandemic recovery.
Task
iParametrics was tasked with providing grants management, project eligibility verification, compliance monitoring, and reporting support. We developed documentation systems and advised on allowable ARPA uses in accordance with U.S. Treasury guidelines.
Action
We conducted a detailed program assessment and created customized compliance tools including checklists, templates, and monitoring protocols. Financial tracking systems were implemented, and city staff were trained to manage reporting and documentation. We ensured alignment with federal standards and maintained collaboration with city departments.
Result
iParametrics helped Hutchinson maintain compliance, enhance financial traceability, and confidently manage its ARPA-funded projects. The City is now well-positioned for continued success in fund deployment, audit preparedness, and strategic recovery planning.
