The FY2026 report, published 10/01/2026, certifies 34,500.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p2, question 7). Its two program blocks, Training Mats and the Medical Director update, account for the 18,259.84 it certifies as spent (pp4 to 7). Neither block, and no answer in the report, says what the 34,500.00 is committed to. The report gives the year's aims as infrastructure and training to achieve harm reduction, and names the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief as the officials who decided how to spend the money (p2). The settlement account shows what the figure holds. Boundless Security Systems purchase order 26-01242, entered 06/10/2026, has four lines. THE RABBIT - OUTDOOR CAMERA 19,900.00, POLE MOUNT POWER SUPPLY 1,600.00, POLE MOUNT BATTERY BOX 3,500.00 and TRAFFIC CONE CONCEALMENT 3,500.00. They total 28,500.00, and all four lines were still open on 09/02/2026. The other 6,000.00 is the unpaid part of medical director blanket order 26-00147 at 06/30/2026, an order of 12,000.00 less six monthly payments of 1,000.00. The two make the certified figure to the cent. The figure is accurate, and the camera is an open order, not spending. The report never states that 28,500.00 of the money it certifies as committed buys an outdoor camera with a pole mount power supply, a pole mount battery box and a traffic cone concealment. No overdose program using this equipment is documented, and surveillance cameras are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
