The FY2026 report certifies 9,496.35 of administrative expenses between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p2).
Question 8a details them as 9/5/2025 Tate Law Group 2,496.35 and 10/7/2025 Attorney Fees 7000.00. The books show what was paid on 10/07/2025. Purchase order 25-04158 to Children's Aid and Family Services, shipped to the Paramus Police Department, buys the Busterstock opioid awareness concert of 09/13/2025 at the Paramus Bandshell for 7,000.00, invoice 25-01-506. Its payment record reads check 2, date paid 10-7-25. The invoice bills the Police Community Outreach Unit. Tate Law Group's vendor inquiry, from the first order to 08/31/2026, shows two orders ever, 1,414.90 and 2,496.35, and no 7,000.00. The 7,000.00 the report calls attorney fees is the concert check, by date and amount. The same report does not list the concert in its program update, which certifies 4,202.00 for a different payment.
false-characterization · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report updates the Busterstock Opioid Awareness Concert at 4,202.00 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p5).
It explains the change as The cost of the program increased and reports 1,500 participants, 300 harm reduction supplies and 8 training or education sessions. The only 4,202.00 payment on the books is check 3 from the ConnectOne opioid account, dated 06/02/2026, purchase order 26-01846. It reimburses the current fund for The Keri Anne DeMott Foundation presentations on 04/29/2026 to Paramus Catholic and Yavneh Academy. The underlying purchase order, 26-01770 of 04/29/2026, is to The Keri Anne Demott Foundation Inc for a presentation for drug awareness, shipped to the Police Department. The Children's Aid and Family Services vendor inquiry shows no concert order after 25-04158. The concert of 09/13/2025 was check 2 for 7,000.00, which the same report lists as attorney fees. The program block carries another vendor's school presentations under the concert's name. The same report says at Q12 that Busterstock is part of our strategic plan, and answers at Q15 that the Borough has no strategic plan.
program-misclassification · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 1,414.90 of administrative expenses between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 and details them as Payment to Tate Law Group for representation (p1).
The FY2026 report certifies 9,496.35 of administrative expenses and lists 9/5/2025 Tate Law Group 2,496.35 among them (p2). The books show what the payments were. Tate Law Group invoice 2013-60 of 09/13/2024 bills 25 percent of the 5,659.58 McKinsey recovery, 1,414.90, paid by check 115354 on 11/12/2024 under purchase order 24-04665. Invoice 2013-65 of 10/15/2024 bills 25 percent of the 4,902.77 Endo recovery, 1,225.69. Invoice 2013-73 of 04/30/2025 bills 25 percent of two Mallinckrodt recoveries, 570.31 and 700.35. Check 1, purchase order 25-03916, paid those two invoices together, 2,496.35, on 09/05/2025. The vendor inquiry through 08/31/2026 shows these two orders and no others, 3,911.25 in all. The McKinsey administrator's payment notice of 09/06/2024, forwarded by the Borough Administrator to the CFO, says the Court ordered class members to use the funds exclusively for the approved uses in Exhibit E. Contingency fees to counsel are not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no listed use covers them. Both reports certify them as administration of the abatement money.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 238,378.33 received since 2022 (Q3, p1) and 254,440.09 of unspent and uncommitted money on hand (Q9, p2).
The on hand figure is 16,061.76 more than everything the report says the Borough ever received. The FY2025 report certifies 6,967.67 spent and the FY2026 report 13,698.35, so the reports' own figures leave 217,712.31. Q9 is 36,727.78 above that. The books give a lower figure too. The ConnectOne Detail Cash Receipts Report, 01/01/2022 to 04/30/2026, totals 261,822.71 of settlement deposits and interest. The June 2026 settlement receipt was 2,184.37. The five checks paid through 06/02/2026 total 20,666.02. That leaves 243,341.06 before the May and June 2026 interest, which was not produced. Q9 is 11,099.03 above it.
self-contradiction · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 14,000.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (Q7, p2).
Every payment the Borough has made from settlement money went to Tate Law Group, to Children's Aid and Family Services or to the current fund. Both vendor inquiries, from the first order to 08/31/2026, show two orders each and print every one CLOSED. The current fund was reimbursed by check 3 for 4,202.00, purchase order 26-01846, dated 06/02/2026. The Budget Account Status for 6-01-20-130-000-251 Opioid Expenses, as of 09/01/2026, prints 0.00 adopted, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 balance. No order, contract or appropriation of 14,000.00 appears in the records produced.
fake-encumbrance · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 197,981.27 received since 2022 including interest (Q3), 6,967.67 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (Q6), 0.00 encumbered (Q7) and 173,104.27 on hand (Q9, p1).
The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 spent. The reports' own figures leave 191,013.60, which is 17,909.33 more than Q9. The books contradict Q9 as well. Settlement deposits through 06/30/2025 were 195,391.69. Less 27.40 of bank charges and the two checks of 11/12/2024, 115214 for 5,552.77 and 115354 for 1,414.90, 188,396.62 of settlement money remained before any interest. That is 15,292.35 more than Q9.
unspent-misstated · 5 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 80,228.24 received between 7/1/2023 and 6/30/2024, 2,250.00 of interest and 127,601.38 received since 2022 (p1).
The Detail Cash Receipts Report shows three settlement deposits in that window, 10,997.64 on 08/02/2023, 2,801.44 on 11/09/2023 and 68,679.16 on 04/30/2024. They total 82,478.24, which is 80,228.24 plus 2,250.00 to the cent. The cumulative figure is the FY2023 figure of 45,123.14 plus the same 82,478.24, so it counts settlement deposits only. The account posted twelve interest credits in the window, 4,160.79 in all, and no one of them or combination of them equals 2,250.00. The report labels 2,250.00 of settlement deposits as interest.
