The FY2025 report lists one program, Town of Guttenberg - Opioid Awareness and Prevention.
It gives the date the program was funded as 01/01/2024 and the funding as 48,220.29, with 35,554.95 expended and 0.00 encumbered. The date falls inside the FY2024 reporting period, 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024. The FY2024 report answers No when asked whether the Town funded any program that year. It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 appropriated or encumbered, and 47,321.21 unspent and uncommitted on hand. It also certifies 47,321.12 received since 2022, which is 899.17 less than the funding the FY2025 report dates to that year. Both reports cannot be true. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2023 report certifies 10,474.81 received and 0.00 expended as of 06/30/2023.
Its one program, Town of Guttenberg - Opioid Overdose Prevention, is reported funded on 09/16/2021 at 20,000.00 and launched on 09/01/2021. That is 9,525.19 more than the Town reports receiving. Both dates fall in 2021. The later reports say the distribution began in 2022. The program block says disbursement will be to the County, while the same report says the Town did not transfer its funds. The FY2024 report answers No to funding any program and certifies 0.00 expended. The program does not appear in any later report. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 36,846.31 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, 0.00 of interest, and 47,321.12 received since 2022.
That is the 10,474.81 certified for FY2023 plus the FY2024 receipts, to the cent. Both reports certify 0.00 expended. The FY2024 report then certifies 47,321.21 unspent and uncommitted on hand. That is 0.09 more than every dollar the Town reports receiving. A balance cannot exceed the money received. No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 66,097.57 received since 2022 and 35,554.95 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025.
The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 expended. The Town's own figures leave 30,542.62 on hand. The FY2025 report certifies 30,542.26 unspent and uncommitted, 0.36 less, with 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 administrative. The FY2026 report certifies 42,530.57 on hand, which is 30,542.62 plus the 11,987.95 received in FY2026 with nothing spent. The FY2025 balance follows from none of the reported figures.

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
