The FY2026 report lists a new program named Equipment Purchases at 55,707.30 funded and spent, recipient Millburn Fire Department (pp4 to 6).
It describes the purpose as "Equip First Responders for opioid abatement." It gives the primary category as Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention and the Schedule B strategy as First Responders. It reports 50 individuals served, and its one key performance indicator is Reduction in opioid-related incidents: 0. Asked how the program addresses opioid use disorder through evidence-based practice, it answers "Equipment for first responders." The books show one purchase. Stryker purchase order 26-00428, ordered 02/10/2026 and shipped to the Fire Department, buys two LUCAS chest compression systems at 20,271.10 each, desktop chargers at 2,511.00, power supplies at 795.00, batteries at 1,494.00, suction cups at 1,069.50 and a ProCare service contract at 9,295.60. The order line says the contract expires in 2029. Stryker's invoice dates it 02/23/2026 to 02/22/2031. Check 9522, described as LUCAS CPR System and Accessories, paid 55,707.30 on 04/07/2026, the certified figure to the cent. The report's program name does not say what was bought. Exhibit E's First Responders category adds two uses to the first-responder items in sections C, D and H: education about fentanyl and other drugs, and wellness services for first responders. No overdose program using the devices is documented, and no listed use in C, D, H or I covers mechanical CPR devices.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 7,831.70 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1).
Its two programs are a Middle School Assembly at 3,050.00 and Purchase of Informational Handouts at 4,781.76, with a launch date of 07/16/2024 (pp2 to 4). The account paid Hill Speaks LLC 3,050.00 by check 3444 on 04/16/2024. It paid Creative Wonders 4,781.70 for the handouts by check 4001 on 07/16/2024, after the period closed. The FY2025 report then certifies 34,268.10 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1), all of it as an update to the 2023 Education program (p2). That figure is every payment the accounts had made, from check 3444 on 04/16/2024 through check 6506 on 05/06/2025, both FY2024 payments included. The accounts paid 31,218.10 in the FY2025 period. Read together, the two reports certify 42,099.80 spent against 34,268.10 paid through 06/30/2025. The 7,831.70 excess is the FY2024 figure counted a second time.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026Each later report builds its unspent figure from the certified spending, to the cent.
The FY2025 report certifies 68,715.90 unspent on hand (p1). That is the 110,815.70 it reports received since 2022, less 7,831.70 and 34,268.10. The FY2026 report certifies 17,040.10 (p2). That is the 128,485.95 it reports received, less 7,831.70, 34,268.10 and 69,346.05. Because the FY2025 spending figure already contains both FY2024 payments, each balance deducts 7,831.70 twice. The accounts paid 34,268.10 through 06/30/2025 and 103,614.15 through 06/30/2026. Against the receipts the reports state, that leaves 76,547.60 and 24,871.80. Each certified balance is 7,831.70 lower.

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
