Each year's received figure adds to the next year's cumulative figure to the cent. 1,694.20, 23,736.90, 11,586.90 and 13,444.21 sum to 50,462.21.

What the records show

The grant line reports no spending and no open order from 01/01/2022 to 05/28/2026. That matches the 0.00 the Borough certified for FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025, and for FY2026 through 05/28/2026. June 2026 was not produced.

The FY2024 report certifies more money on hand than the Borough ever received. It gives 25,431.10 received since 2022, 0.00 expended and 0.00 encumbered. It then gives 31,452.12 unspent on hand. That is 6,021.02 more than the total the same report says came in. With nothing spent, the balance cannot exceed what was received. The FY2025 report gives 37,018.00 received and 37,018.00 on hand, so the 31,452.12 matches neither year. See the finding.

The modified budget of the grant line, 39,713.64, matches no received figure in the reports. The reports give 37,018.00 received through 06/30/2025 and 50,462.21 through 06/30/2026. The Borough produced no receipts account, so the record does not show what was deposited or when.
