The FY2026 report lists the part time Crisis Intervention Social Worker program twice.
As a 2026 program, "PT Crisis Intervention Social Worker program", it certifies 67,514.31 funded and spent, used "to pay for CISW salary" (p11 to p12). As an update to the FY2023 program "Part Time Crisis Intervention Social Worker", it certifies 66,158.08 expended, under the label 07/01/2022 to 06/30/2023, last updated 07/31/2026 (p15). The certified 72,909.11 spent in FY2026 counts only the first figure. Read as FY2023 spending, the 66,158.08 contradicts the FY2023 report, which certifies 0.00 expended and 19,494.98 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1). It is 46,663.10 more than the Township had received by then. Read as FY2026 spending, it lifts the year to 139,067.19 and spending since 2022 to 144,367.19, which is 27,964.99 more than the 116,402.20 the report says the Township has ever received (p1). The two figures for the same salary differ by 1,356.23. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report covers 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
It certifies 67,514.31 spent in that year on the "PT Crisis Intervention Social Worker program" (p12). The same block says the money was paid "Per paycheck. used to pay for CISW salary. Includes annual salary for 2025 and six months of 2026" (p12). That is January 2025 to June 2026, eighteen months. January to June 2025 falls in the FY2025 report year, 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025. The FY2025 report certifies 5,300.00 expended for that whole year, all of it on the same salary program (p1, p3). The FY2026 report counts in its own year salary that its own text places in the year before. No ledger has been produced, so the paycheck dates cannot be checked.
misreported-expenditure · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 52,009.85 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, 0.00 of interest and 71,504.83 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1).
It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered, 0.00 of administrative expenses and 94,369.93 of unspent and uncommitted money on hand (p1). The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended (p1). On the report's own figures the Township had received 71,504.83 and spent nothing, so it could not hold more than 71,504.83. The certified on hand figure is 22,865.10 more than every dollar the report says the Township had received. No bank or ledger record has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report says "The opioid settlement funding pays for the Crisis Intervention Social Worker Program, Salary and Wages" (p2).
It says the funds "are used to fund the Crisis Intervention Social Worker program" and gives the program's caseload for 2023 and January to June 2024 (p2). The same report certifies 0.00 expended and 0.00 encumbered between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1), and answers No when asked whether the Township funded any program with the money (p3). The FY2023 report also certifies 0.00 expended. A fund that paid a salary cannot have spent 0.00. The FY2026 report later certifies 66,158.08 expended on the same program under a FY2023 label (p15). No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 28,952.04 received, 5,300.00 expended and 23,652.04 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).
Its one program, Crisis Intervention Social Worker, certifies 37,000.00 of funding, 5,300.00 expended and 31,700.00 encumbered or appropriated (p3). The two encumbered figures differ by 8,047.96. The 23,652.04 equals the year's receipts less the year's spending to the cent. The 31,700.00 equals the program's funding less its spending to the cent. No ledger or appropriation record has been produced.
misreported-encumbrance · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report covers 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
It certifies 3,778.40 funded and spent on "Bonterra Apricot Data Reporting software", funded 05/08/2026 (p4 to p5). It gives the launch date as 09/01/2026, after the year closed (p6). The same block reports 355 unduplicated individuals served, 355 participants, 355 encounters and 20 referrals to treatment (p6). A program that had not launched cannot have served 355 people. The 355 figure is the one the report gives for the Crisis Intervention Social Worker program (p13). No ledger or invoice has been produced.

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
