The County budgeted 1,108,700.00 of settlement money to its own Regular Pay line, account G-02-22-331-382-10101, by transferring it out of the main services line. The account report printed 08/19/2026 shows 160,201.08 already charged to it in biweekly payroll runs. No report filed with the State through FY2025 discloses a payroll program, a staffing program or any program at all other than the Rowan College one. The payroll line does not appear in the purchase order listing because payroll is not purchase order driven, so a reader working from the purchase order records alone would never see it. The FY2026 report, published 10/01/2026, is the first to disclose salaries. It certifies 101,432.93 of administrative expenses and describes them as personnel salaries for the administration and oversight of the program (page 2). The record names no position and no duties for the payroll.
