The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 (p1, question 7). The Township's own Budget Detail Inquiry shows purchase order 25-01500 to JCM Associates first encumbered on 05/23/2025, 48 lines totaling 10,418.20. Lines 1 to 39, 7,279.34, sit on account G-02-41-210-299. Lines 40 to 48, 3,138.86 including 472.00 shipping and handling, sit on account G-02-41-232-299. Check 3628 paid the order on 07/02/2025, two days after the period closed, so the full 10,418.20 was committed and unpaid on 06/30/2025. The same accounts also held 77,109.05 of adopted budget not yet committed, 9,153.26 on G-02-41-232-299 and 67,955.79 on G-02-41-262-299. Under either reading of the question the answer was not 0.00. The FY2026 report later certifies the same 10,418.20 as spent.
