Certified 297,272.19 more FY2024 spending than it paid

The FY2024 report certifies 839,215.80 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1). The settlement sub-accounts paid 541,943.61 in that period. The first payment is dated 01/02/2024. The report is 297,272.19 above the books. Its program blocks (pp3 to 21) count twelve payments the County made after the period closed, 268,975.06 on nine checks from 07/23/2024 to 10/10/2024. They include Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore check 575099 of 07/23/2024 for 92,400.00 and Discovery Institute check 576826 of 10/10/2024 for 30,483.03. The FY2025 report's spending total equals the books for 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025 to the cent, so it counts the same twelve payments again. The FY2024 report also lists the Preferred Behavioral Health enhancements block twice, at 58,432.00 (p16) and 58,431.26 (p21), for the same three payments on purchase order 274026. A report cannot certify money as spent in a year when the County's own books show it paid in the next.
