4 findings.
Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.
Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2026 report certifies 1,887,107.99 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1, question 6).
It reports two programs for the year. Operation Community Engagement spent 933,862.60 (p4) and the Opioid Effect Mitigation Program spent 10,000.00 (p5). Together they account for 943,862.60. The other 943,245.39 is certified as spent with no program behind it. The certified figure equals the FY2025 report's 1,407,202.61 on hand plus its 52,075.00 encumbered plus the 427,830.38 received in FY2026, to the cent. The report then certifies 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 on hand (p2). The City has produced no ledger, so no payment can be matched to either figure.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 2,741,270.71 received since 2022, interest included (p1, question 3).
It certifies 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 unspent or uncommitted on hand (p2, questions 7 and 9). The four reports certify 124,963.25 spent for FY2023, 156,940.84 for FY2024, 507,849.94 for FY2025 and 1,887,107.99 for FY2026. That is 2,676,862.02. Received less spent leaves 64,408.69. That is the whole of the interest the City certified, 46,063.49 through FY2024, 13,318.19 for FY2025 and 5,027.01 for FY2026. The FY2025 report had already certified 1,407,202.61 on hand, 59,381.68 less than its own figures leave after 52,075.00 encumbered. The FY2026 spent figure carries that balance forward and leaves the year's interest out. The interest is counted as received and is nowhere in the balance. The City has produced no ledger.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 1,575,787.60 received since 2022, interest included (p1, question 3), and 0.00 encumbered (p1, question 7).
Its program block reports 281,904.09 expended since the program was funded (p3). That is the 124,963.25 certified for FY2023 plus the 156,940.84 certified for FY2024, to the cent. Received less spent leaves 1,293,883.51. The report certifies 1,335,933.94 unspent or uncommitted on hand (p1, question 9). That is 42,050.43 more than the report's own figures leave. The City has produced no ledger.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2023 report certifies 124,963.25 expended as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 8).
It gives the money to one program, the Opioid Effect Mitigation Program, funded and launched 05/23/2023 (p2). The FY2024 report lists one program, Operation Community Engagement, with a launch date of 09/18/2023 and a funding date of 06/01/2024 (p3). It reports 281,904.09 expended on that program since it was funded in 2022. That is the 124,963.25 certified for FY2023 plus the 156,940.84 certified for FY2024, to the cent. The FY2024 report places 124,963.25 under a program that launched after the money was spent. The FY2026 report lists the Opioid Effect Mitigation Program again, as a 2023 program with 10,000.00 spent (p5).

Correct the recordCan opioid settlement money be spent on police cars or license plate readers?
No. Exhibit E of the national settlement lists the approved uses: treatment, recovery, prevention, harm reduction and related supports. Vehicles and surveillance hardware are not among the uses it lists, and state law bars using the funds to replace money a town would otherwise have spent.The approved uses
