01

The FY2024 report lists a program named Police K9 at 2,125.00 funded and expended, recipient Hamilton Township Police Division (p3).

It gives the primary problem as supporting PD infrastructure and resource improvements and the primary category as Primary Prevention, Education, and Training (p4). It says the Township will track impact through pounds of illicit drugs identified (p4). The FY2025 report lists Police K9 (dog 2) at 9,200.00 with the same category and the same wording (pp7 to 9). Purchase order 24-03599 to Green Leaf Pet Resort, 8,500.00, ships to the Police Division and describes a K9 narcotics detection dog for the Police Department. The settlement account paid its 2,125.00 balance by check 363 on 07/30/2024. The other 6,375.00 was charged to a health line, and 6,225.00 of it was repaid from an AKC Reunite K-9 grant account. Purchase order 25-02711 to Shallow Creek Kennels, 9,200.00, ships to the Police Division Chief's Office and describes a German Shepherd cross as a new police K-9. The settlement account paid all of it by check 646 on 06/17/2025. On 05/20/2025, eleven days after that order, the Township appropriated a 7,500.00 AKC Reunite K-9 Cop 2025 grant. On 09/08/2026 the grant account showed 0 percent used. A police dog is not among the uses Exhibit E lists. Its First Responders category adds only fentanyl education and responder wellness to the items in sections C, D and H. No prevention program using either dog is documented.

The FY2025 report lists Project Graduation, 5,000.00 funded and spent, recipient Hamilton High School West, with the primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training and the Schedule B strategy Prevent Misuse of Opioids (pp6 to 7).

It says the grant let the school provide activities, entertainment, and refreshments for the senior class (p7). The FY2026 update certifies 15,000.00 more under the same program, expanded to after prom events at two high schools (p15). The purchase orders say what the money offset. Order 25-02087 covers a Hamilton High School West event of 06/03/2025 and a 1,000.00 payment the school made to Liberty Lakes for it. Order 26-01857 covers the Nottingham High School after prom event of 05/15/2026 and the school's payments to the Funplex, 2,000.00 and 10,000.00. Order 26-01858 covers the Steinert High School after prom event of 06/05/2026 and payments to J-Dogs and Any Excuse For A Party. Checks 618, 872, 873 and 915 paid 5,000.00 each between 05/20/2025 and 06/02/2026. Party costs, entertainment and refreshments are not among the uses Exhibit E lists. No prevention curriculum or evaluated program delivered at any of the events is documented.

The FY2025 report certifies 158,898.63 received between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).

The revenue account posted 68,498.65 in that period, eight receipts from 07/31/2024 to 06/16/2025. The certified figure equals two budget insertions on the spending account, 142,053.33 under Chapter 159 Resolution 24-457 on 12/17/2024 and 16,845.30 under Resolution 25-241 on 05/21/2025. The 142,053.33 appropriated all cash posted through 10/10/2024, 222,663.84, less the 75,654.20 already appropriated and a 4,956.31 Teva receipt of 04/30/2024 that was never appropriated. Of it, 94,961.14 is money received before 07/01/2024 that the FY2023 and FY2024 reports had already certified as received. The FY2025 cumulative figure, 329,513.97, is 85,443.67 more than the 244,070.30 the revenue account shows through 06/30/2025.

The FY2026 report certifies 48,923.92 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1), the sum of its five program amounts.

The account paid 38,899.64 in that period. The Open Access to Recovery Services update, 29,323.97 (p14), is 14,323.97 paid on Recovery Advocates order 25-02707 plus the full 15,000.00 face of the calendar 2026 order 26-02943. By 06/30/2026 that order had paid 6,835.72, check 934 on 06/16/2026. Checks 963, 980 and 992 paid the April to July 2026 costs between 07/17/2026 and 08/25/2026, and 799.68 was still open on 09/08/2026. The National Night Out program, 1,860.00 (pp9 to 12), is a DJ order and a pretzel order placed 06/24/2026 for an event on 08/04/2026 and paid by checks 988 and 989 on 08/20/2026. The report gives 08/04/2026 as the launch date. Together that is 10,024.28 the account had not paid by 06/30/2026. The same certified figure also counts April, May and June 2025 costs paid in the period, 6,862.66, so it follows neither the payment dates nor the service months.

The FY2026 report lists National Night Out, recipient the Hamilton Township Police Division, 1,860.00 funded and spent, funded 06/24/2026 and launched 08/04/2026 (pp9 to 10).

It gives the primary category as Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, with the Schedule B strategies Connections to Care and First Responders (p11). The books show two orders placed 06/24/2026. Order 26-03324 to DJ Dan Murphy LLC is four hours of music and emcee, 500.00, a sound system and power station, 400.00, and three more speakers, 100.00. Order 26-03325 to James Tuttle is pretzels, 860.00. The check register describes them as National Night Out 2026 for the Police Division. Checks 988 and 989 paid both on 08/20/2026. Outside the settlement account, the Township paid the same DJ 1,000.00 for the 2025 National Night Out by check 10615 on 08/28/2025, and 750.00 each for 2023 music and pretzels by checks 864 and 869. A DJ, speakers and pretzels are not among the uses Exhibit E lists. No prevention program delivered at the event is documented.

The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period ending 06/30/2026 (p2).

Three orders were open on the account that day. Recovery Advocates blanket order 24-05138 line 1 has carried 5,313.38 open since 11/07/2024. Order 26-02943, encumbered 05/29/2026 at 15,000.00, had 8,164.28 unpaid. The National Night Out orders 26-03324 and 26-03325, 1,860.00, were encumbered on 06/24/2026 and paid on 08/20/2026. The total open at 06/30/2026 was 15,337.66. The same report counts 10,024.28 of it as already spent. The account print of 09/08/2026 still shows 6,113.06 encumbered, the 5,313.38 on order 24-05138 and 799.68 on order 26-02943.

The FY2026 report certifies 186,394.00 unspent and uncommitted on hand and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered (p2).

The figure is a budget balance. It equals the 278,374.03 appropriated on the spending account at 06/30/2026, less the 76,642.37 paid through that date, less the 15,337.66 in orders open that day. It subtracts open orders that the same page certifies as 0.00. It leaves out money received but never appropriated. The revenue account shows 287,803.76 received through 05/28/2026 and prints the 9,429.73 excess over the amount appropriated (p2). The excess is a Teva receipt of 4,956.31 on 04/30/2024 and a Walgreens receipt of 4,473.42 on 04/30/2026. On the books the Township held at least 211,161.39 unspent at 06/30/2026, and at least 195,823.73 of it uncommitted. The report puts both at 186,394.00.

The FY2024 report certifies 2,125.00 spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 and 0.00 encumbered (p1).

Its one program, Police K9, gives 06/28/2024 as the funding and launch date (p3). The account paid nothing in that period. Green Leaf Pet Resort order 24-03599 line 2 was encumbered on 06/28/2024 and paid by check 363 on 07/30/2024, in FY2025. At 06/30/2024 it was an open order, not spending. The FY2025 report then certifies 35,617.73 spent (p1). The account paid 37,742.73 in the FY2025 period. The difference is the 2,125.00 check, moved back a year.

The FY2025 report certifies 183,227.83 unspent and uncommitted (p1) and 0.00 encumbered.

The figure equals the account's appropriation after 05/21/2025, 234,552.83, less the four program amounts the Township certified as funded, 51,325.00 in all. They are Recovery Advocates 35,000.00 (FY2025 p3), Project Graduation 5,000.00 (p6), the second police dog 9,200.00 (p8) and the first police dog 2,125.00 (FY2024 p3). The figure subtracts the full 35,000.00 Recovery Advocates budget. The same report says 21,417.73 of it was spent and 0.00 is encumbered. The other 13,582.27 is counted as committed in one answer and as not committed in the next. The account's balance after its last FY2025 payment, on 06/27/2025, was 191,496.72.

Recovery Advocates blanket order 24-05138 line 1 was encumbered on 11/07/2024. The last payment on that order, the October 2024 costs, was check 594 on 04/23/2025. The line still shows 5,313.38 open on the account prints of 05/28/2026 and 09/08/2026. The balance the account prints after its last FY2025 payment, on 06/27/2025, is 191,496.72. That is the 234,552.83 appropriated, less the 37,742.73 paid, less the 5,313.38 open on that order. The books carried the order as a commitment at year end. The report certifies none.

The revenue account posted 116,946.81 in that period and 175,571.65 through 06/30/2024. The difference in both is one receipt, 4,956.31 from the Teva settlement trust on 04/30/2024. The Township never appropriated it. The revenue print of 05/28/2026 still counts it in the 9,429.73 received above the 278,374.03 anticipated (p2). The report's unspent figure, 168,490.34 (p1), is the 170,615.34 less the 2,125.00 it counts as spent, so it leaves out the same 4,956.31.

The NJACCHO Enhancing Local Infrastructure grant line, G-02-41-623-000-001, paid Steinert After Prom Parents 5,000.00 by check 596 on 04/23/2025 and Nottingham High School 5,000.00 by check 602 on 04/30/2025.

In 2026 the settlement account paid each of them the same 5,000.00, by checks 873 and 872 on 04/08/2026. Purchase order 25-02087, 5,000.00 to Hamilton High School West, was written on the NJACCHO line on 04/07/2025. It still carries the note ENHANCING LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE NJACCHO GRANT PAYABLE. A change order dated 05/12/2025 moved it to the settlement account, and check 618 paid it on 05/20/2025. The Health Officer's award letter of 10/03/2024 says that money comes from NJACCHO grant funds. The FY2025 report gives Project Graduation a launch date of 10/03/2024 (p6), the date of that letter. The same NJACCHO line paid the three schools between 8,000.00 and 10,000.00 per grant in 2023 and 2024.

Frequently asked questions

Can 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

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

It certified 9 programs to the Department of Human Services. Each program, its recipient and its amount are reproduced above, beside the payments in the account.See the reports

How was this grade computed?

By code, from a published rubric: reporting integrity 50 percent, spending conformity 40 percent, transparency 10 percent, with hard caps for a certified program that has no payee in the books, for an uncertified transfer out, and for a records refusal.The rubric
