The FY2026 report lists a new Officer Wellness Program, funded 5/19/2026 at 10,000.00 with 2,000.00 spent, launched 8/3/2020, running 5+ years and serving 33 individuals (pp4 to 5). It describes an annual mandatory session with a board-certified police psychologist. Check 39660 of 05/19/2026 paid Jennifer Kelly PhD 2,000.00 from the settlement account, three EAP visits of 200.00 and yearly wellness visits of 1,400.00 on purchase orders 26-00779 and 26-00891. The four lines make the certified figure to the cent. The same psychologist's wellness and EAP visits were paid from the Police-LEMHWA (Wellness Act) grant account, G-02-41-460-200, on eleven lines from 12/20/2023 to 05/06/2025, 13,600.00 in all, and from the police Medical Expenses line on 07/22/2025. The police Medical Expenses line also paid her for a pre-employment evaluation on 03/17/2026. The Township's memorandum of understanding with her, with fees for calendar year 2024, sets wellness visits at 200.00 per session per employee, and every settlement line is a multiple of that rate. Check 39891 paid her another 3,400.00 from the settlement account on 07/21/2026. Wellness and support services for first responders who experience secondary trauma are among the uses Exhibit E lists. The settlement money must add to local spending. Most of the earlier visits were paid from the wellness grant account, and the record does not show whether that grant ended. That the settlement money took over a cost the Township would otherwise carry is this project's inference from these records.
