The FY2026 report certifies a new program, Opioid Prevention Specialist (OPS), at 99,705.00 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, recipient Englewood Health Department, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, launched 5/1/2025, 800 individuals served (pp4 to 6). Its Q22 says that in addition to outreach materials and CPR training supplies the program funds the salary of one employee (p7). The books show two salaries. Journal reference 627 of 11/06/2025 charged 66,000.00, described as a reclass of the first employee's 2025 salary from budget, and 65,000.00, described the same way for the second, to the opioid account G-02-40-766-000-000 and credited both to Health - Regular Pay 5-01-27-330-000-111. Journal reference 634 of 12/02/2025 moved 16,500.00 and 16,250.00 to the NJ ACCHO Grant account. The net, 98,250.00, is 98.5 percent of the certified program. The City's 2025 check register shows 66,000.00 and 65,000.00 as the two employees' full 2025 regular pay. The City Manager's memo of 05/07/2025 identifies the two positions as the grant funded Local Health Outreach Coordinator and Infectious Disease Preparedness Generalist and directs that their job descriptions be amended to add an opioid component. The job descriptions the City produced add the title Opioid Prevention Specialist to each and list the COVID-19 and communicable disease duties first. The Health Department roster the City produced in July 2026 gives their payroll titles as "INFECTIOUS DIS PREP GENERALIST" and "HEALTH OUTREACH COORD", and lists the second employee as resigned. The FY2025 report had told the State that settlement funding financed two positions under the combined titles (p2). The FY2026 spending certified as one employee's salary is the pay of two existing public health positions moved onto the fund.
