The FY2026 report certifies 498,517.34 received since 2022 and 0.00 of interest (page 1).
The four reports certify 186,829.20 spent in all. That is 0.00 in FY2023, 62,376.06 in FY2024, 38,093.62 in FY2025 and 86,359.52 in FY2026. The FY2026 report certifies 4,884.91 encumbered and 247,495.05 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (page 2). On the Township's own figures, 498,517.34 less 186,829.20 spent and 4,884.91 committed leaves 306,803.23. The certified balance is 59,308.18 lower. The reports do not say where that money is. The gap has grown each year. The FY2024 report leaves 40,178.78 unaccounted for (351,364.39 received, 62,376.06 spent, 600.00 encumbered, 248,209.55 on hand). The FY2025 report leaves 50,451.25 (428,859.77 received, 100,469.68 spent to date, 34,534.62 encumbered, 243,404.22 on hand). No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report covers 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
It certifies three programs as spent in that year that it says launched after it closed. Operational Readiness for First Responders, OUD Response Training, is certified at 3,150.00 spent with a funding date of 9/1/2025 and a launch date of 9/1/2026 (page 9). Boro Explorers Creative Expression and Wellness Series is certified at 4,700.00 spent, funded 5/1/2026 and launched 7/6/2026 (page 12). Summer in Motion, The Block Series, is certified at 12,006.67 spent and 393.30 encumbered, funded 5/7/2026 and launched 7/8/2026 (page 26). The three total 19,856.67. The report still counts people served by each, 7, 40 and 1,250. For the training program's procurement method it prints "Once you have that information, we can complete this section accurately rather than guessing" (page 11). No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 4,884.91 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (page 2).
Its program list reports nine programs. Of the eight new programs, only Summer in Motion reports an encumbrance, 393.30 (page 26). The ninth, the 2025 update for Operation Access and Response, reports 34,534.62 spent and calls the program a one time event (page 29). The program list accounts for 393.30 of the certified encumbrance. The other 4,491.61 is tied to no program. The form asks for each program funded with settlement money (page 5). No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 34,534.62 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (page 1).
Its program list reports two programs with encumbrances. Operation Access and Response carries 34,534.62 (page 7). EmpowerED, Living Proof, a one time session on 03/15/2025, carries 1,694.67 encumbered beside 1,694.67 spent, against 3,500.00 of funding (page 10). The two total 36,229.29. The certified figure equals the first alone and leaves out 1,694.67. The FY2026 report gives no update for EmpowerED, so the 1,694.67 is reported neither spent nor released. No ledger has been produced.

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
