The FY2026 report lists a new program, (REACH) REducing Addiction through Care and Help Committee, recipient REACH Committee, funded and launched 05/25/2026, at 190.00 funded and 190.00 spent in the current reporting year, 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 (pp4 to 6). It gives the intended impact as "Informational signage for the REACH Committee", the primary category as Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, the Schedule B strategy as Connections to Care and the number served as 100. Question 6 certifies 18,190.00 spent, the 18,000.00 of school donations paid in the year plus this 190.00 (p1). The books show one 190.00 charge. Colony Florist, Inc. purchase order 26-02002, described REACH VETERAN'S PLAZA, was first encumbered on 07/14/2026 and paid by check 19765 on 07/22/2026. The Borough's own REACH Opioid Funds worksheet lists it as "Colony Florist REACH wreath", dated 5/25/2026. A florist's wreath is not signage. No purchase order for it was on the books on 06/30/2026, and the money left the account on 07/22/2026, 22 days after the FY2026 period closed. No harm reduction or connections to care program using the wreath is documented, and a florist's wreath is not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
