The City's Budget Distribution History Reports show which account paid this employee on every check. In 2024 the regular salary line 4-01-27-330-3502-11001 HEALTH OPERATIONS - REGULAR paid each check from 02/02/2024 through 09/27/2024. The settlement accounts paid most of each check from 10/04/2024 through 06/13/2025. The Municipal Alliance grant paid a smaller share of the same checks. The regular Health Operations line paid the employee again from 06/18/2025 and paid every 2026 check through 08/07/2026. The settlement accounts paid nothing toward this pay in 2026. The payroll registers show the same employee, department 35-02 and position code throughout. On 09/24/2024 and 09/30/2024 journals 1303 and 1325, both typed Expenditure Refund, moved 16,457.75 of July, August and September 2024 pay and payroll tax onto the settlement accounts. The same journals credited the regular Health Operations line with 15,202.08 for pay it had already carried, and the non-departmental FICA line with 1,255.67 of payroll tax. Settlement money has to add to local spending, not replace it, under N.J.S.A. 26:2G-39(f). The records show the settlement accounts took over a salary the current fund was already paying and handed it back when the charges stopped.
