The FY2026 report lists a new program named Outrun Opioids at 5,450.00 funded and spent, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, Schedule B strategies Prevent Misuse of Opioids and Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms, 1,500 individuals served (pp6 to 11). It describes a community-donated vehicle wrapped in custom Garfield Police Department graphics with a QR code linking to a 24/7 addiction support hotline, and says the settlement money paid for the wrap and its installation. The account paid 506 Wraps LLC 5,450.00 for a custom wrap, design and installation on purchase order 25-02220, check 233, on 12/29/2025, from account G-02-41-724-000-467. It is the only payment the City has made to 506 Wraps from any fund from 2018 through 08/31/2026. The same report says performance indicators are still being developed, measurement methods have not been finalized, and the program is an awareness and referral mechanism rather than a direct clinical intervention.

No such program built on the wrap is documented, and police branding on a vehicle is not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
