The FY2023 report certifies one program at 16,476.51, Expanded Community Outreach/ Engagement, strategic community outreach by a trained recovery coach, and says the effort has not been previously funded. The County's books for the window show what the figure is. Thirteen salary lines from 01/05/2023 to 06/22/2023, 3,624.25, which the 2023 payroll report shows as part of a Community Service Aide's pay, most of the rest of which Operation Helping Hand grants carried. A charge of 06/15/2023 for 01/01/2023 to 06/30/2023 fringe benefits of a second employee, 12,852.26, 78 percent of the figure. That employee's salary is not charged to the opioid account, and the employee appears in none of the County's Public Health payroll reports for 2023 to 2026. 3,624.25 plus 12,852.26 is 16,476.51. The report's other program, 1,710.00 of harm reduction supplies, is a Narcan purchase of 06/22/2023. The two make up the year's certified 18,186.51 to the cent.
