The FY2026 report, page 1, certifies 122,873.94 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026. That is its three program updates, 74,892.17, plus 47,981.77 of administrative expenses. The City charges settlement spending to two lines of its National Opioid Settlement Trust Fund grant. G-02-40-698-296 carries the 698,387.53 appropriated. G-02-40-698-011, Salaries and Wages, was added 01/01/2026 with no budget. In the year, G-02-40-698-296 paid 122,105.49 net and G-02-40-698-011 was charged 20,568.53, 142,674.02 in all. The 20,568.53 is journal reference 19619 of 04/24/2026, eleven lines totaling 20,219.93 that credit the police overtime accounts for overtime paid on pay dates from 08/29/2025 to 03/13/2026, and 348.60 of police overtime charged on 05/29/2026. The police grant overtime sheets behind the journal code the hours to the Seton Hall first responder training. No figure in the report includes the 20,568.53. The unspent figure on page 2, 470,833.63, equals the 698,387.53 on line G-02-40-698-296 less the 201,003.90 that line had spent through 07/09/2026 and the 26,550.00 still on order, to the cent. It deducts nothing for line G-02-40-698-011. The certified 122,873.94 is 19,800.08 less than the two lines were charged. It is 768.45 more than line G-02-40-698-296 paid, a difference this project could not tie to any row. No set of the G-02-40-698-011 charges makes 768.45. The fire overtime for the course sits inside the police program figure. The police overtime for it sits outside every figure.
