The FY2026 report certifies 14,649.63 received in the year, 0.00 of interest and 66,664.57 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1).
It certifies 0.00 spent (p1), 0.00 appropriated or encumbered and not yet spent, 0.00 of administrative expenses and 98,902.12 of unspent and uncommitted money the City currently has on hand (p2). It answers No to funding any program (p3). The FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025 reports each certify 0.00 expended. On the report's own figures the City has received 66,664.57 and spent nothing, so it cannot hold more than 66,664.57. The certified on hand figure is 32,237.55 more than every dollar the report says the City has received. The City's two settlement budget lines, G-02-40-400-351 and G-02-41-604-000, printed through 05/27/2026, show no expenditure. The City's revenue prints record 54,097.52 of settlement receipts from 01/11/2023 to 05/27/2026. No receipt, balance or sum of them in the record gives 98,902.12.
unspent-misstated · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 0.00 of opioid abatement funds appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 (p1).
The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 for 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 (p1). The City's Budget Detail Inquiry prints, run 05/27/2026, show six Chapter 159 insertions of settlement money in those two periods. In FY2024 line G-02-40-400-351 took 7,299.53 on 11/06/2023 and 1,090.85 on 12/14/2023, and line G-02-41-604-000 took 24,860.46 on 05/09/2024 under Resolution 125-2024 and 1,882.45 on 06/27/2024 under Resolution 168-2024. That is 35,133.29. In FY2025 line G-02-41-604-000 took 4,783.68 on 08/08/2024 under Resolution 185-2024 and 10,745.98 on 09/12/2024 under Resolution 212-2024. That is 15,529.66. Together they appropriate 50,662.95. Neither line shows a charge through 05/27/2026. The books carry the money appropriated and unspent in both periods. Both reports certify none.
misreported-encumbrance · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 10,867.18 received in the year and 52,014.94 received since 2022.
It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 42,272.57 of unspent and uncommitted money on hand (p1). The FY2023 and FY2024 reports also certify 0.00 expended. The City's Budget Detail Inquiry for line G-02-41-604-000, printed 05/27/2026, shows four Chapter 159 insertions. Resolution 125-2024 added 24,860.46 on 05/09/2024, Resolution 168-2024 added 1,882.45 on 06/27/2024, Resolution 185-2024 added 4,783.68 on 08/08/2024 and Resolution 212-2024 added 10,745.98 on 09/12/2024. They total 42,272.57, the certified figure to the cent. No expenditure posts to the line. The figure leaves out the 9,621.17 of receipts that stayed on revenue line G-02-40-400-351 and the 2,203.78 moved on 09/20/2024 to a reserve for the settlement. On the report's own figures, 52,014.94 received and nothing spent, the City held 9,742.37 more than it certified.

unspent-misstated · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 10,867.18 of opioid abatement funds received between 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025 and 52,014.94 received since 2022 (p1).

On 09/20/2024 it took 2,203.78. The five total 12,949.76, which is 2,082.58 more than the report certifies. No combination of them gives 10,867.18. The FY2023 and FY2024 reports tie to the receipts. Through 06/30/2025 the print records 54,097.52 received against 52,014.94 the report certifies since 2022.
