Birch's Communications purchase order 25-01242, invoice 421417, paid by one check, 7303, on 08/05/2025, has eleven lines for one 2011 Camaro. Lines 1 to 9, 6,205.00, were charged to settlement account 5-01-56-750-354. Lines 10 and 11, a partial install for 1,147.49 and wire, loom and circuit breakers for 150.00, were charged to the Township's Vehicle Purchases line, 5-01-25-240-255. Check 7258, the same day, paid Cape Island Graphics 105.00 to partially reletter car 126 from the Vehicle Repairs - Insured line and 220.00 for LTPD Camaro stickers from the settlement account. Copiers Plus wrapped the same car for 3,795.00 from the settlement account. The vendor histories show the same kind of work on the Township's own lines before any settlement money paid for it. Birch's outfitted 4 new patrol units for 35,959.08 on Vehicle Purchases under a 2023 order and 2 new patrol vehicles for 35,673.16 on capital police vehicle and equipment lines under a 2024 order. Cape Island Graphics did PD graphics for 5 Tahoes for 2,300.00 on Vehicle Purchases in 2023 and for an F-250 for 379.00 under a 2024 order. Police vehicle outfitting and lettering is a recurring cost the Township carries in its own budget. That the settlement money took over part of that cost is this project's inference from these records.
