The FY2024 report certifies 109,823.04 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 (p1). That is the same report's figure for funds received in the period, 109,823.04, to the cent. The FY2025 report certifies 51,084.27 encumbered in the period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 (p1), again the same report's receipts figure to the cent. Both reports certify 0.00 expended and list no program. The Township's Budget Transaction Audit Trail for the four opioid accounts, G-02-41-799-100-350 to G-02-41-799-100-353, runs 01/01/2020 to 12/31/2026 and was printed 06/01/2026. A second print, run 01/01/2024 to 06/30/2026 with accounts of zero activity included, was printed 08/31/2026. Both show no purchase order, contract or other commitment on any of the accounts before 02/03/2026. The accounts carry balances of 10,635.67, 11,123.40, 100,065.24 and 42,278.30. Neither certified figure equals any of them or any combination of them. Each figure is a year of money received, not money committed. Each report also states that all money received since 2022, 154,345.82 and 205,430.09, is unspent or uncommitted on hand. The reports say the same in words. The FY2024 report answers "We haven't spent anything yet" (p1) and "At the current time, we do not have any immediate plans to use the funds" (p2). The FY2025 report answers "We did not spend any funds yet" (p1) and "We have yet to use opioid funds" (p2).
