The vendor payment history shows the Township paid Flock Group Inc 34,050.00 from three non-opioid sources before it charged the opioid account. 7,300.00 from the state forfeited funds trust T-24-56-850-000-851 on 06/28/2023, 20,750.00 from two capital ordinances on 09/25/2024, and 6,000.00 from the police operating line 4-01-25-240-000-049, POLICE Maint Contracts, on 10/09/2024, the same day the dedicated opioid account was created. From 01/16/2025 forward every Flock purchase order went to the opioid account. Flock invoice INV-77967, paid from the opioid account on check 80704, cites purchase order 24-03396, the September 2024 purchase paid from the two capital ordinances. The Township's own emails record each funding choice. On 06/07/2023 the Chief of Police wrote that the County Prosecutor had approved the use of forfeiture funds for the first readers. On 06/04/2024 he asked Flock for a three-year cost breakdown so he could apply it to the capital budget, and on 08/29/2024 he asked for a three-year term for the budgeting plan. On 09/06/2024 he sent Flock invoice INV-47028 for 20,750.00 to his secretary under the subject line Capital. On 11/18/2024 he wrote that the department was purchasing 5 more readers from the opioid fund. Matching INV-47028 to the capital payment is an inference. Reading the sequence as supplantation is an inference. The change in funding source is documentary.
