Six budget journals, references 4387 to 4392, posted between 06/18/2024 and 02/20/2025, charged the settlement account 77,103.14. Each journal credits account T-03-56-330-3SU-MAP, Public Health Substance Abuse Medical Assistance, the same amount. The journals name 28 lines on 27 purchase orders. Each had been paid from T-03-56-330-3SU-MAP on or before the journal date. 67,200.00 is Dr. Nirmal Trivedi, billed to the Passaic Alliance as dual diagnosis intensive outpatient and physician services at 1,200.00 per four hour session. 9,903.14 is Zoobook Systems electronic health record fees. The City's vendor histories for both vendors cover every City fund and account from 01/01/2018, and they list all 28 payments on T-03-56-330-3SU-MAP. The clinic account paid Dr. Trivedi 311,400.00 from 02/19/2020 to 02/04/2025, under annual contracts that include C2400034 at 62,400.00 for 2024, and no other account paid him. The Alliance accounts paid Zoobook from 09/06/2022. The City's records response of 10/01/2026 says the Passaic Alliance is a City department, established by the City in 1998, and that the accounts it produced are used solely by the Alliance. The earliest invoice moved covers sessions in December 2023. No new service was bought. The journals changed which account paid for services the clinic account had already funded. Section D(7) of the State Subdivision Agreement, pages 6 to 7, says "no amount of such moneys shall be used to reimburse the State or any of its counties or municipalities for past expenditures, except as may otherwise be required to refund to the federal government a portion of the moneys."
