On 04/16/2026 the Township opened one purchase order to a power and camera vendor for outdoor pan tilt zoom cameras. Line 1 was 103,609.83 on the 2024 National Opioid Settlement account. Line 2 was 2,977.92 on the 2025 National Opioid Grant account. On 08/03/2026 it reduced line 1 by 9,087.88 and added 1,200.08 of shipping to line 2, leaving 94,521.95 and 4,178.00 open. The 9,087.88 released that day was followed on 08/19/2026 by 5,031.00 of fast food catering and 420.08 of groceries paid from the same account. On 07/13/2026 the Township opened a further 24,200.00 to a fence contractor for poles for security cameras. Those three open figures sum to 122,899.95, which is the entire Encumber YTD balance printed for these accounts at 08/19/2026. The camera package is every dollar this Township had committed on opioid money at that date. None of it has been paid. The FY2026 report certifies 106,587.75 encumbered at 06/30/2026 (page 2). That is the two camera lines as they stood that day, 103,609.83 and 2,977.92, to the cent. The report's one program block does not mention cameras. No purchase order packet, resolution, contract or quote states what the cameras are for, and no overdose or prevention program that uses them is documented. Fixed surveillance cameras and the poles that carry them are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
