The FY2024 report certifies 2,617.62 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (page 1). That is DEA Drug Takeback at 691.08 and Police Participation in Municipal Alliance at 1,926.54, funded 12/06/2023 (pages 2 to 4). The settlement account paid 3,588.52 in that period. Check 27450 paid the Borough 272.20 on 10/11/2023 for a police detail at the 04/22/2023 Take Back Day. A journal on 12/06/2023 charged 2,625.24. A journal on 05/07/2024 charged 691.08. The 2,625.24 reimbursed officer overtime that the Police Department listed on 11/30/2023 and asked to have reimbursed into its overtime account 01-2010-25-2401-131. The seven lines of that request dated 07/08/2023 to 10/28/2023 sum to 1,926.54, the certified program figure. Its three lines dated 04/20/2023, 05/11/2023 and 06/15/2023, 232.90 each and 698.70 in all, were left out. The FY2023 report listed the 272.20 detail as funded but not yet disbursed and certified 0.00 spent. No report certifies the 272.20 or the 698.70 as spent in any year. The FY2025 report counts the other way. It certifies the whole 6,022.26 request paid on 11/18/2024, which includes 5,913.52 of officer time dated 03/03/2024 to 06/19/2024. The four reports certify 26,300.19 spent in all. The account paid 27,270.49 through 05/28/2026, which is 970.30 more, the 970.90 less the 0.60 the FY2025 report certifies above its books.
