With its opioid settlement checks the Borough produced two checks that are not opioid money. One is a 17,414.03 payment from the PCB Settlement Fund in City of Long Beach v. Monsanto Company, dated 04/13/2023 (check copies p4). The other is a U.S. Treasury check for 183.90 dated 03/11/2025 and marked F-941 REF 12/2024 (p31). The 2024 budget line Opioid NOAT I is 27,521.00 (06/10/2026 production p1). The three National Opioids Settlement checks dated in 2022 and 2023, 4,348.91, 2,380.02 and 3,378.04, plus the Monsanto check make 27,521.00 to the cent. The 2024 Opioid NOAT II line of 1,591.91 equals the two NOAT II checks, 731.42 and 860.49. The 2026 budget carries an Opioid Settlement line of 15,283.52 (check copies p23). The seven opioid checks dated in 2025 total 15,099.62. Adding the 183.90 Treasury check makes 15,283.52. The 12,150.00 officer training was paid from the reserve of the 27,521.00 line. The budget does not itemize either line. The FY2026 report, page 1, certifies 15,283.52 received from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, the same figure as the 2026 budget line. That the lines were built from these checks is this project's reading of the arithmetic.
