Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2023 report lists a new program, Opioid K-9, recipient Township of Mahwah, funded 9/2023 at 20,000.00 (p2).
It names the primary problem as distribution of opioids. It says the K-9 will be trained to uncover the presence of opioids so officers can get the drugs off the streets. It names the target population as opioid distributors and the performance measure as the amount of confiscations. It files the program under the primary category Harm Reduction. Resolution 345-23, adopted 09/07/2023, authorizes the purchase of a new K-9 dog for the Mahwah Police Department. The FY2024 report certifies 11,222.62 for the program (p4) and the FY2025 report certifies 2,716.80 (p3). The books show what the two figures paid for. Purchase order 8945, check 92481, paid East Coast K-9 Academy 9,950.00 on 10/17/2023 for the purchase of a K-9 for the police department. Purchase order 9653, check 92607, paid the K-9 handler 1,272.62 on 10/31/2023 for K-9 equipment and two exams. Seven payments on account 01-213-41-003-023 from 02/21/2025 to 04/22/2025, for K-9 food, veterinary care, a kennel stay and a tracking seminar, total 2,716.80. The certified figures equal these payments to the cent. Exhibit E's harm reduction category covers naloxone, overdose response education, syringe service programs, testing and mobile harm reduction units. No listed use covers a police drug detection dog, and no overdose program using the dog is documented.
program-misclassification · 7 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report updates the 2023 program Opioid K-9 with the words "Continued training and care of opioid K-9 in the amount of $11,222.62 is allocated/expended" (p4).
The 11,222.62 is the acquisition of the dog, not continued care. Check 92481 paid East Coast K-9 Academy 9,950.00 on 10/17/2023, purchase order 8945, described as the purchase of a K-9 for the police department under Resolution 345-23. Check 92607 paid 1,272.62 on 10/31/2023, purchase order 9653, for fourteen K-9 equipment invoices and two K-9 exams. The two payments make the certified figure to the cent. The Department had been without a K-9 since 2021, as Resolution 345-23 recites, so there was no K-9 in training or care before the purchase.
false-characterization · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 34,222.62 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1).
That is three payments to the cent, the dog at 9,950.00 on 10/17/2023, K-9 equipment and exams at 1,272.62 on 10/31/2023 and the Mahwah Municipal Alliance at 23,000.00 by check 10546 on 06/26/2024. The FY2025 report certifies 37,716.80 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1). That is the Alliance at 35,000.00 by check 12866 on 06/06/2025 plus 2,716.80, the seven K-9 payments on account 01-213-41-003-023 in the period. Both reports leave out account 01-203-41-502-201. It made twelve K-9 payments in calendar 2024, for dog food, veterinary care and a kennel air conditioner. Seven, 1,724.82 from 02/23/2024 to 06/11/2024, fall in the FY2024 period. Five, 2,570.55 from 07/23/2024 to 12/10/2024, fall in the FY2025 period. Together they are 4,295.37, the PO Payment total the account prints for 2024. The accounts paid 35,947.44 in the FY2024 period and 40,287.35 in the FY2025 period. Each report certifies less than the accounts paid.
misreported-expenditure · 8 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 22,643.99 of unspent and uncommitted settlement money on hand (p2).
That is the sum of three balances the Township's account reports print. Grant reserve 01-213-41-003-000 shows 11,937.37 after a cancellation on 02/06/2026. Account 01-201-41-502-200 ends 2025 with 7,437.59 uncommitted. The 2026 report for the same 2025 appropriation, now account 01-203-41-502-200 (2025), opens with that 7,437.59 and shows 3,269.03 uncommitted from 05/14/2026 through 09/02/2026. 11,937.37 plus 7,437.59 plus 3,269.03 is 22,643.99. The 7,437.59 and the 3,269.03 are the same reserve at two dates, so the figure counts it twice. On 06/30/2026 the two reserves held 15,206.40 uncommitted, and the revenue account held 3,141.61 of 2026 settlement receipts with no budget entry. By 08/04/2026 those receipts were 20,199.16. No date in the record gives 22,643.99.
unspent-misstated · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The Township ran a police K-9 unit on its own budget before the settlement.
Budget line 9-01-F01-231, Police K-9 Unit, was appropriated 3,850.00 in 2019 and paid 2,520.97 that year for the handler's K-9 supply reimbursements and a 1,294.82 emergency dental surgery. It paid 240.32 in 2020, including a 158.78 K-9 wellness visit, and cancelled its 1,088.71 balance on 12/31/2020. It shows no activity in 2021. Resolution 377-21, adopted 11/04/2021, records that Remco, the Department's sixth K-9, retired in July 2021. Resolution 345-23, adopted 09/07/2023, recites that the Department has a long tradition of having a K-9 dog, that the Chief of Police wants to re-institute the K-9 program, and that the Township is able to use the Opioid Settlement monies to purchase a new K-9 at no cost to the taxpayers. The settlement line paid 9,950.00 for the dog on 10/17/2023. The handler's K-9 food was then reimbursed from budget account 01-201-25-240-231, 88.49 on 12/05/2023, 188.18 on 12/19/2023 and 211.96 on 02/06/2024. From 02/23/2024 the same monthly reimbursements were paid from settlement line 01-203-41-502-201. No later K-9 food payment to the handler or to Wholistic Paws appears on a budget account in their vendor histories, printed 09/02/2026. Through 08/18/2026 the settlement accounts paid 24,332.86 for the dog, its equipment, food, supplements, veterinary care, kennel stays, training travel and an e-collar. These are the kinds of cost budget line 9-01-F01-231 paid in 2019 and 2020. The Township did not produce that line, or any K-9 budget line, for 2022 to 2026. That the settlement money replaced spending the Township's budget would otherwise carry is this project's reading of these records.
