From purchase order 25-01883, encumbered 09/09/2025, the settlement accounts paid every Foremost order, 8,788.33 on three lines described as Community Event Supplies and Community Engagment Supplies. No other account has paid the vendor since 12/16/2024. The FY2026 report counts these purchases in a new prevention program funded 09/26/2025 and decided by Police Administration. This project reads the 25-240 code as the police budget, following the State's standard municipal budget numbering. The print gives only the line titles, so that attribution is inference. The produced records do not itemize the 2025 and 2026 orders, so whether they bought the same goods as the earlier orders is also inference. The record does not show whether the Township reduced its own appropriations.
