The FY2025 report certifies 652,803.78 received between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 and 1,815,411.05 received since 2022 (p1, questions 1 and 3).
The 652,803.78 is not money received in that period. It equals, to the cent, eight deposits the County's GRANTS - OPIOID (UNITY) account took in during FY2024. Seven are dated 04/30/2024, printed together as 04/30/24 Totals 553,750.79 (Walgreens 29,771.22 and 49,864.04, National 51,048.73, TEVA 32,381.70, Walmart 315,518.23, Allergan 36,187.92, CVS 38,978.95). The eighth is 99,052.99 on 06/17/2024. The FY2024 report already counts all eight in its 764,063.97 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1), which ties to the account to the cent. The deposits actually dated 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025 are eight others totaling 447,531.16, from the four 07/31/2024 receipts of 222,510.73 to Janssen 110,057.58 on 06/16/2025. The account balance on 06/30/2025 was 1,594,616.46. With the 337.90 and 15,184.07 of interest the two reports certify, that is 1,610,138.43. The certified cumulative figure is 205,272.62 higher, which is 652,803.78 less 447,531.16. The report counts the April to June 2024 money twice and leaves out the money that arrived in its own year.
misreported-receipts · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 98,069.22 received between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1, question 1).
The County's GRANTS - OPIOID (UNITY) account took in 285,729.54 of settlement money in that period through its print date of 05/28/2026. Four receipts on 08/08/2025, printed as 08/08/25 Totals 253,978.65, are TEVA 34,492.65, Allergan 35,915.00, CVS 63,488.42 and Distributors 120,082.58. Walmart paid 2,524.14 on 10/31/2025 and Walgreens 29,226.75 on 04/30/2026. The other entries in the period, library card-reader deposits and an interest transfer to savings, net to zero. The certified figure is at least 187,660.32 below the books, and any receipt after 05/28/2026 would only widen the gap. No combination of the period's receipts makes 98,069.22. The report's cumulative figure, 1,931,341.30 (question 3), is the FY2025 report's 1,815,411.05 plus this year's 98,069.22 and 17,861.03 of interest, so it carries forward the 205,272.62 the FY2025 report double counted.
misreported-receipts · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report covers 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025.
It certifies 1,784,813.69 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand and 63,781.42 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (p1, questions 9 and 7). The County's GRANTS - OPIOID (UNITY) account held 1,594,616.46 on 06/30/2025. Less the 63,781.42 the report calls committed, that leaves 1,530,835.04. The certified figure is 253,978.65 higher. That is, to the cent, the four receipts posted on 08/08/2025 and printed as 08/08/25 Totals 253,978.65 (TEVA 34,492.65, Allergan 35,915.00, CVS 63,488.42 and Distributors 120,082.58). Those receipts fall in FY2026. 1,594,616.46 plus 253,978.65 less 63,781.42 is 1,784,813.69. Adding all 15,521.97 of interest the FY2024 and FY2025 reports certify gives 1,610,138.43 held on 06/30/2025 before any commitment, still 174,675.26 below the certified unspent figure. The report states more money on hand than the County held in the period it covers.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 1,147,423.20 received since 2022, 0.00 expended and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered (p1, questions 3, 6 and 7).
It certifies 1,369,596.03 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1, question 9). That is 222,172.83 more than everything the same report says the County ever received. The County's GRANTS - OPIOID (UNITY) account held 1,147,085.30 on 06/30/2024, the last day of the period. It reached 1,369,596.03 on 07/31/2024, when four receipts totaling 222,510.73 posted (CVS 30,771.56, TEVA 35,443.56, TEVA 36,213.03 and a national settlement receipt of 120,082.58). Those receipts fall in FY2025. The certified unspent figure is the balance a month after the period closed, with the next year's money in it. A report cannot hold more money on hand than it says was received, with nothing spent.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2023 report certifies 383,021.33 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 7).
The account's six receipts from 09/30/2022 to 06/16/2023 make that figure to the cent. The FY2024 report certifies 764,063.97 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 and 1,147,423.20 received since 2022 (p1, questions 1 and 3). The receipts of 08/02/2023, 11/09/2023, the seven of 04/30/2024 and 06/17/2024 make 764,063.97 to the cent. The account balance on 06/30/2024 was 1,147,085.30, and with the 337.90 of interest the report certifies it is 1,147,423.20. Both reports also certify 0.00 expended, and the account shows no payment out in either year. The County produced no expenditure record to confirm the spending side.
