Cyrus Torabi, an attorney in the Kutak Rock Irvine office, will speak at the 2026 CARPD Conference in Monterey on May 28, 2026. His presentation, “Grant Anticipation Notes – Fund Projects on Your Timeline,” will explore financing strategies available to public agencies and park and recreation districts seeking to advance projects while awaiting grant funding.

The session will provide attendees with insight into how grant anticipation notes can be used to bridge funding gaps, accelerate timelines for capital improvement projects, and support long-term planning efforts. Drawing on his experience in public finance and municipal law, Cyrus will discuss practical considerations, financing structures, and opportunities for agencies navigating today’s funding landscape.

The annual conference hosted by the California Association of Recreation and Park Districts brings together parks and recreation professionals, public agency leaders, and industry partners from across California for educational programming, networking, and collaboration focused on advancing community recreation and park services.
