Summary
Staff proposed paying $12.6 million to retire the Toscana property notes a year early, saving about $140,000 in interest. Board members pushed back, noting the agency earns 3.8% on investments while paying only 2.25% on the loan, and questioned whether the note even allows prepayment. The board approved the budget without the prepayment.

Impact analysis
Skipping the early payoff keeps about $6.3 million available for habitat purchases but forgoes roughly $140,000 in interest savings.
Future habitat acquisitions benefit from keeping cash on hand; the Toscana seller keeps collecting interest.
