The FY2025 report certifies 4,375.00 expended between 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025 and 0.00 encumbered (p1). Its one program, Ridgefield Park Drug Prevention & Education, carries 4,375.00 with the note that the village spent 4,375.00 on speaking engagements to educate the Ridgefield Park Village Police on opioid usage. The program page was last updated 09/08/2025 (pp2 to 3). The Village's settlement account, 01-9000-24-1012 National Opioids, shows no payment and no order in that period. Its first order was encumbered 09/24/2025, after the program page was last updated. Its first payment, check 63867, cleared 09/29/2025. No payment of 4,375.00 appears on the account in any year. The Village's vendor history for its speaker, I'm Just a Kid with an IEP LLC, shows two payments ever, both on 09/29/2025 and both from this account. One of them, purchase order 63942 for 5,500.00, is described as invoice 1031 2/2/2025 speaking engagement. Nothing was paid or encumbered for it before the period closed, and its amount is not the certified figure. No other account paying settlement money appears in the produced records.
