The FY2024 report covers 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024. It certifies 7,500.00 of administrative expense, funding for an outreach coordinator to help residents find support, and counts it in the 18,458.05 spent (p1). The FY2025 report certifies a program named Outreach Support at 10,000.00 spent, funded 07/01/2024, launched 07/08/2024 and paid bi weekly July to September (p7). The books show one outreach cost. The reserve 4-01-550-084 carries four Opioid Payroll postings, 2,500.00 on 08/23/2024, 2,500.00 on 09/06/2024, 2,300.00 on 09/20/2024 and 2,500.00 on 10/04/2024, 9,800.00 in all. The payroll register shows one hourly worker paid for 196 hours on those pay dates. The payroll account 4-01-55-900-266 holds 9,800.00 and nothing more through 08/28/2026. No produced account shows a payroll or administrative charge from 01/01/2024 to 06/30/2024. The Town did not produce its accounts for 07/01/2023 to 12/31/2023. By the FY2025 report the outreach program was funded the day after FY2024 closed. The two reports certify 17,500.00 for outreach. The books show 9,800.00, all paid in FY2025.
