The FY2024 report

The FY2024 report covers 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024. It certifies 3,170.60 expended. It says the Township has "currently spent the funds on narcan and education."

The account paid 2,619.00 in that period, 120.00 for flyers and 2,499.00 for promotional items. It bought no Narcan in the period. The Narcan order, purchase order 24-02387, was first encumbered on 08/15/2024 and paid by check 118925 for 551.60 on 09/10/2024. The three payments make 3,170.60 to the cent. Counted a Narcan order paid in FY2025 as FY2024 spending.

The report certifies 17,002.43 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent. The account opens at 20,173.03. After the Narcan check on 09/10/2024 the audit trail prints a running balance of 17,002.43. No order was open at 06/30/2024. The next order, MJPB Consulting for 8,250.00, opened on 10/25/2024. The certified encumbrance is the account's leftover balance after a payment made in the next fiscal year. The report's unspent figure, 145,506.42, is the received total less the 3,170.60 spent, so it counts the same 17,002.43 as uncommitted. Reported the account's leftover balance as encumbered.

FY2025

The FY2025 report certifies 12,750.00 spent and 12,750.00 encumbered between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025. It puts the 12,750.00 spent on one program, Education/Training, described as educational workshops in the High School.

The produced accounts paid one item in that year, the 551.60 Narcan check of 09/10/2024 that the FY2024 report had already counted. The 5-02 account prints no payment until a Narcan check on 09/16/2025. The one workshop order, MJPB Consulting purchase order 24-03009 for a speaking engagement, 8,250.00, opened 10/25/2024. It still prints Open and unpaid on 05/28/2026. After that order the 4-02 account had 8,752.43 left, less than the 12,750.00 certified. Certified 12,750.00 of school workshops no payment shows.

FY2026

The State published the FY2026 report on 10/01/2026. It certifies 20,498.60 spent and 20,393.60 encumbered for the same workshops, now with students and parents and 300 participants served. Its goals answer adds promotional awareness products and Narcan.

Through 05/28/2026 the produced accounts paid 827.40 for Narcan and 4,978.00 for police promotional items in that year, 5,805.40 together. Nothing was paid for workshops. The student and parent order, MJPB purchase order 25-03086 for 13,485.00, opened 11/04/2025 and was open and unpaid on 05/28/2026. The 8,250.00 order from 10/25/2024 was open too.

The record stops short of the year end. The 6-02 print ends 05/28/2026, and the 4-02 and 5-02 prints end 12/31/2024 and 12/31/2025. Paying both open orders in full would bring the year to 27,540.40. Paying only the student and parent order would bring it to 19,290.40. Neither is 20,498.60. This project publishes no FY2026 finding until the June 2026 activity is in hand.

The FY2026 report puts the unspent balance at 182,014.02. The reports' own figures give 183,167.15, the 239,979.95 received less the 36,419.20 certified spent and the 20,393.60 certified encumbered. The difference is 1,153.13.
