Held 48,000.00 for consultants it said it never secured

The FY2024 report certifies 0.00 expended and 48,000.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (page 1). Its own explanation says the 48,000.00 appropriation was for consultants in behavioral health and substance abuse abatement, and that the City had not been able to secure professionals for the 2024 year (page 1). Asked whether the City funded any programs that year, it answers No (page 2). The books show the 48,000.00 is two purchase orders. Order 22-06553 of 12/19/2022 commits 25,000.00 to Reflection and Resilience as lead opioid consultant. Order 24-02434 of 04/30/2024 commits 23,000.00 to Morning Star Community for opioid abatement prevention. Neither order has received a payment. Both were still open on 06/05/2026, three and a half years after the first was placed. The FY2026 report names other consultants, Stay on Course and Tammy Williams, as the program's consultants. The City carried 48,000.00 as committed to professionals it told the State it had not secured.
