Three journal entries on opioid account G-02-23-0330-795-001 charge Government Strategy Group 16,250.00 each, on 10/15/2025, 11/19/2025 and 12/04/2025, 48,750.00 in all. Two cite purchase order 25-03493. That purchase order is the Township's financial management contract under resolution R.303-062025, charged on every line to the current fund Finance line 5-01-20-0130-001-028 at 17,450.00 a month. One cites purchase order 25-03423, the opioid report preparation contract under resolution R.304-062025 at 1,250.00 a month with a 15,000.00 cap. Neither purchase order has a line at 16,250.00. The ten monthly invoices produced for the reporting contract total 12,500.00 and tie to the ten direct payments in the ledger. No invoice supports any of the three 16,250.00 charges. The same firm prepares the Township's report to the State.
