The FY2026 report lists a new program named Ambulance at 334,063.60 funded and spent, recipient Brick EMS/Rescue (pp8 to 10). It gives the primary problem as ability to render aid to overdose victims, the primary category as Treatment and the Schedule B strategy as First Responders. It describes the purpose as purchase of ambulance to transport victims and reports 33 individuals served. The account paid Defender Emergency Products 333,014.00 for a 2025 Medix MSV157 Dodge 4500 on purchase order 25-03370, check 226477, on 11/26/2025. It paid V.E. Ralph and Son 1,049.60 for a Laerdal suction unit on purchase order 25-03650, check 226658, on 12/10/2025. The two payments make the certified figure to the cent. The report's funding and launch date, 11/26/2025, is the date of the ambulance check. The report names the vehicle, but the Treatment category and the overdose framing do not describe it. Exhibit E's Treatment uses are treatment for opioid use disorder. Its First Responders category adds two uses to the first-responder items in sections C, D and H: education about fentanyl and other drugs, and wellness services for first responders. No listed use in C, D, H or I covers an ambulance, and no overdose program using this ambulance is documented.
