Findings

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.

01

The FY2026 report certifies 29,040.75 received in the year, 0.00 of interest and 171,105.68 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 195,452.61 of unspent and uncommitted money the Township 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 Township has received 171,105.68 and spent nothing, so it cannot hold more than 171,105.68. The certified on hand figure is 24,346.93 more than every dollar the report says the Township has received. The Township's Valley National Bank listing for its settlement account, printed 06/10/2026, shows 27 credits from 11/03/2022 to 04/30/2026, 169,419.35 in all, and 0 debits. The certified on hand figure is 26,033.26 more than every deposit the account shows.

02

The FY2025 report certifies 42,844.88 received in the year, 0.00 of interest and 66,263.59 received since the distribution began in 2022.

It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered, 0.00 of administrative expenses and 140,064.73 of unspent and uncommitted money on hand (p1). The FY2023 and FY2024 reports also certify 0.00 expended. On its own figures the Township held 73,801.14 more than it had ever received. The bank listing shows which figure is wrong. Through 06/30/2025 the settlement account took in 21 wires, 142,064.73 in all, and paid out nothing. The cumulative received figure is 75,801.14 short of the deposits. The on hand figure is 2,000.00 below the account, which took no deposit between 06/16/2025 and 08/08/2025. The year's 42,844.88 equals the eight wires from 07/31/2024 to 06/16/2025 to the cent. The FY2026 report later gives 171,105.68 received since 2022 and 29,040.75 in FY2026. The difference, 142,064.93, is 0.20 from the deposits through 06/30/2025.

The FY2024 report certifies 10,651.61 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 and 23,418.71 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1).

The bank listing shows ten wires into the settlement account in that period, 73,148.51 in all. The certified 10,651.61 is the first two, 8,489.16 on 08/02/2023 and 2,162.45 on 11/09/2023, to the cent. The seven wires of 04/30/2024 and the wire of 06/17/2024, 62,496.90 in all, are left out. The FY2023 report certifies 12,767.10 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1). The account took in three wires by then, 9,161.23 on 11/03/2022, 10,929.01 on 12/30/2022 and 5,981.10 on 06/16/2023, 26,071.34 in all. That is 13,304.24 more than reported. By 06/30/2024 the account held 99,219.85 of settlement money. The FY2024 report's 23,418.71 is 75,801.14 short, the sum of the two gaps. The FY2025 report carried the same shortfall into its 66,263.59.

The FY2024 report certifies 23,418.71 received since 2022, 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 38,561.04 of unspent and uncommitted money on hand (p1).

The FY2023 report also certifies 0.00 expended. The on hand figure is 15,142.33 more than the report says the Township ever received. It is also 60,658.81 less than the bank shows. The settlement account had taken in 99,219.85 by 06/30/2024 and paid out nothing. Its next deposits, on 07/31/2024, only raised the balance. Neither the report's received figure nor the bank gives 38,561.04.

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

What did Belleville Township tell the State it spent the money on?

No certified program is published for this jurisdiction yet. When a report is captured, each program appears here beside the payments in the account.See the reports
