The FY2023 report certifies that Perth Amboy had expended 43,890.00 of its settlement money as of 06/30/2023, all on one program, Anti-Drug Prevention, recipient City of Perth Amboy, funded 43,890.00, described as a Media Campaign.
The 43,890.00 is the price of a sign with an electronic message center from KC Sign and Awnings under contract C2300091, awarded by Resolution R-254-5/23 on 05/24/2023 and encumbered 06/05/2023. The quotation required a 50 percent deposit. KC Sign invoice 92560, dated 02/28/2025, prints payments and credits of 0.00 and a balance due of 43,890.00. Requisition R2502317, dated 05/15/2025, prints paid purchase orders of 0.00 and 43,890.00 available on the contract. Check 111324 paid the 43,890.00 on 05/22/2025 under purchase order 25-02539, in three lines of 42,500.00, 695.00 and 695.00. The City's vendor history for KC Sign, all funds from 01/01/2018 to 09/02/2026, shows that check as the only payment the City ever made to the vendor. The FY2024 report certifies 0.00 expended. No dollar of the 43,890.00 had been paid when the FY2023 report certified it as expended. The certified figure was false.
false-certification · 7 documents · 09/23/2026Between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 the ledger shows four payments from the settlement fund totaling 78,898.41.
M.P. Electrical Contractors 32,985.00 by check 110981 on 05/05/2025. KC Sign and Awnings 43,890.00 by check 111324 on 05/22/2025. DARECATALOG.COM 983.16 by check 111444 on 06/05/2025. Payroll 1,040.25 on 06/30/2025. The FY2025 report certifies 35,008.41 expended in that period. 32,985.00 plus 983.16 plus 1,040.25 equals 35,008.41. The certified figure is the period's spending less the KC Sign check, to the cent. The report's update to the FY2023 program Anti-Drug Prevention reports 32,985.00 for the electrical contract to install the signage and does not report the 43,890.00 paid for the sign itself. The 43,890.00 was reported as expended in FY2023, when it had not been paid, and was left off the report for FY2025, when it was paid.
misreported-expenditure · 6 documents · 09/23/2026The City paid 76,875.00 from the settlement fund for one sign.
43,890.00 to KC Sign and Awnings for a custom double sided sign with an electronic message center, and 32,985.00 to M.P. Electrical Contractors for the electrical work to install it. The title of Resolution R-254-5/23 describes the sign as to be placed at the police station and court house and purchased utilizing the opioid settlement funds. Its funds certification names account G-02-40-698-296. Contract C2400098 and its performance and payment bonds describe the electrical work as installation of an electrical sign in the front of the Public Safety Complex. The certified payrolls name the project Police Dept. Sign Maint. at 365 New Brunswick Avenue. The electrical invoice is captioned for the Police Department Sign, and purchase order 25-02539 ships to the Perth Amboy Police Department. The work included a new steel pole, a concrete footer and a 100 amp service. Neither contract sets what the sign displays. The two vendor histories show both payments charged to G-02-40-698-296. The FY2023 report certified the 43,890.00 as a Media Campaign before it was paid, and the FY2025 report left it off. The electrician was paid from the City's own accounts for its other work. No media campaign or prevention program using the sign is documented. A permanent sign at a municipal building is not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
non-conforming-spending · 7 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2026 report, pages 8 and 9, updates Operational Readiness for Police Officers and reports 38,281.14 expended between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026.
It describes the Seton Hall University four hour, online, self paced certificate course that prepares law enforcement to respond to the opioid crisis, with 100 participants and 4 sessions. Its note calls the course first responders training. It names neither the Fire Department nor any overtime. The books for the year hold 38,281.14 of training charges on account G-02-40-698-296, equal to the certified figure to the cent. ZSchool purchase order 25-02699, paid by check 113475 on 11/20/2025, is 11,250.00 for Certificate Program FD and 11,250.00 for Certificate Program PD. Journal reference 19386 of 12/26/2025 moves 10,937.46 to reimburse fire overtime already paid on 2025 pay dates. The emails behind it say the overtime was for the opioid first responder training. Fire overtime charged directly on 01/15/2026, 01/30/2026, 05/29/2026 and 06/15/2026 adds 4,294.62. Police overtime charged directly on 04/15/2026 and 06/30/2026 adds 549.06. The Fire Department's share, its course fee and 15,232.08 of overtime, is 26,482.08, or 69.2 percent of the figure. Overtime wages are 15,781.14, or 41.2 percent. The police overtime for the same course, 20,568.53 on account G-02-40-698-011, is in no figure in the report. The report certifies a police course. The books show a fire and police course in which most of the money went to the Fire Department and two fifths paid staff overtime, 10,937.46 of it overtime the fire budget had already paid.
program-misclassification · 8 documents · 10/03/2026The council's award in the record covers the 43,890.00 sign alone.
Resolution R-254-5/23 awards KC Sign and Awnings a contract not to exceed 43,890.00. The 32,985.00 of electrical work that made the sign run was paid to M.P. Electrical Contractors under contract C2400098, dated 04/09/2024. The contract file holds a City vendor quotation form for on call emergency electrical service, repairs and installation, dated 11/17/2022. It lists three vendors. M.P. Electrical quoted 156.80 an hour, one vendor was not interested and one did not reply. The form recites a bid threshold of 44,000.00. The 32,985.00 is 1,015.00 under that threshold. The ledger prints the award as Res No DPW-003, and DPW-003 appears handwritten on the vendor's proposal. Asked for a resolution by that name, the City produced the contract file and no resolution. Reading the electrical award as one the council never voted on is an inference from the record the City produced.
authorization-gap · 2 documents · 09/23/2026Journal reference 19619, posted 04/24/2026, charges eleven lines totaling 20,219.93 to account G-02-40-698-011.
Each line reads p/r opioid with a 2025 or 2026 pay date and a source account, 5-01-25-240-014 or 6-01-25-240-014, the police overtime account for 2025 and for 2026. The General Ledger Posting Reference Report for the reference shows cash leaving the grant fund and the police overtime appropriation credited by the same amounts. The Senior Payroll Clerk's email of 04/13/2026 lists the amounts by pay date, 14,885.80 for 2025 and 5,334.13 for 2026, and gives the purpose. It says the amounts are provided before requesting the credit to the PD OT accounts. The overtime had already been paid from the police overtime account. The police grant overtime sheets code the hours to Seton Hall first responder training. The same email says the grant account will be used for any opioid overtime going forward. From 01/15/2026 to 08/31/2026 a further 11,827.74 of police and fire overtime was charged to the fund directly.
funding-source-substitution · 5 documents · 09/23/2026Journal reference 19386, posted 12/26/2025, charges six lines totaling 10,937.46 to account G-02-40-698-296, each described as from account 5-01-25-265-011 with a 2025 pay date.
On 12/02/2025 the Fire Chief asked for approval of the transfer of funds to reimburse our overtime account for those who completed the opioid training. On 12/03/2025 the Superintendent of Recreation wrote that payroll needs to credit both departments overtime accounts. On 12/21/2025 he wrote to the Chief Financial Officer that the Fire Department overtime for the opioid first responder training should be reimbursed to their OT account from the settlement account, a total of 10,937.46. The payroll registers tie each pay date to the cent, for example five firefighters at 4 hours each for 1,945.80 on 08/15/2025. The department's overtime forms, headed Emergency Overtime, record the work as Opiod Training and charge it to account 265, payroll department 015, and the payroll office's table lists the amounts under account 5-01-25-265-015. The journal credits 5-01-25-265-011, S and W Full Time. The same journal reference moves 56,861.88 of fire salary to a federal SAFER staffing grant account, which is not settlement money.
funding-source-substitution · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies a new program, Operational Readiness for Police Officers, recipient Perth Amboy Police Department, funded 06/03/2025 at 22,500.00, with 0.00 expended and 22,500.00 encumbered.
It describes a four hour online certificate course from the Seton Hall University Stillman School of Business. The ledger shows the 22,500.00 as ZSchool, LLC purchase order 25-02699 in two lines, Certificate Program FD 11,250.00 and Certificate Program PD 11,250.00, paid by check 113475 on 11/20/2025. Half of the certified police program is a Fire Department program. The report does not name the Fire Department. The ZSchool vendor history, all funds from 01/01/2018 to 09/02/2026, shows no other payment. A second purchase order, 25-05289, encumbered 11/04/2025, was open at 26,550.00 on the 07/09/2026 purchase order status report, 11,250.00 for police and 15,300.00 for fire.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 09/25/2026From 06/30/2025 to 08/31/2026 the City charged 57,281.77 of payroll to G-02-40-698-296 under descriptions such as P/R Opioid Settl.
Rec. The payroll report sheets the City produced for those charges are titled Payroll Report Sheet, Opioid Interns, and later Opioid Grant. They list two employees, budgetary unit G-02-40-698-296, and in the column for work performed and justification each day reads Recreation Aide. The first sheet covers 06/01/2025 to 06/14/2025, is dated for the 06/30/2025 payroll and totals 54.75 hours. The FY2025 report certifies 1,040.25 of administrative expenses, which equals the 06/30/2025 payroll line to the cent, and describes it as the coordination and reporting work of the Opioid Outreach Worker. The payroll sheets describe no opioid duty.
reporting-accuracy · 4 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies the Opioid and Drug Prevention Education Program, recipient Perth Amboy Municipal Alliance, funded 4,465.99, with 983.16 expended.
The only payment in the period that equals it is DARECATALOG.COM purchase order 25-02522, paid by check 111444 on 06/05/2025, 983.16 across thirteen lines. The lines are graduation items, a D.A.R.E. banner and banner flag, red and white balloons, nylon drawstring bags and shipping.

The vendor histories show the City never paid Patriots' Path Council from any other fund. The 4imprint orders replace purchases the City makes from its Public Events line. No record describes a substance use curriculum, prevention campaign or evidence-based program behind any of these payments. None is among the uses Exhibit E lists.
non-conforming-spending · 4 documents · 09/23/2026The City's vendor history for M.P.
Electrical Contractors, all funds from 01/01/2018 to 09/02/2026, totals 99,780.00. From 2018 on the City paid the vendor for electrical labor, repairs, service hookups and installations from its current fund electrical line, its building maintenance line, capital ordinance accounts and a storm recovery trust. The one charge to the settlement account G-02-40-698-296 is 32,985.00 for ELECTRIC SUPPLY SETUP SIGN slash PSC, paid 05/05/2025. In 2026 the vendor is paid again from the current fund and a capital account. The contract file shows the vendor held the City's on call electrical arrangement from quotes taken 11/17/2022, before any settlement money was spent. Reading the sign wiring as work the City would otherwise have paid from its own accounts is an inference from that history.
funding-source-substitution · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The City's vendor history for 4imprint, all funds from 01/01/2018 to 09/02/2026, totals 32,127.37.
The City has bought promotional merchandise from this vendor since 2018 from its current fund, including the Public Events line 6-01-29-390-153, where the vendor is still paid in 2026. Three orders were charged to the settlement fund instead, purchase orders 25-04596 and 25-03129 paid in October and November 2025 and 26-00305 paid 05/14/2026, 10,755.50 net of coupons. Reading those orders as a cost the City already carried in its own budget is an inference from the vendor history.
funding-source-substitution · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2026 report, page 1, certifies 122,873.94 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026.
That is its three program updates, 74,892.17, plus 47,981.77 of administrative expenses. The City charges settlement spending to two lines of its National Opioid Settlement Trust Fund grant. G-02-40-698-296 carries the 698,387.53 appropriated. G-02-40-698-011, Salaries and Wages, was added 01/01/2026 with no budget. In the year, G-02-40-698-296 paid 122,105.49 net and G-02-40-698-011 was charged 20,568.53, 142,674.02 in all. The 20,568.53 is journal reference 19619 of 04/24/2026, eleven lines totaling 20,219.93 that credit the police overtime accounts for overtime paid on pay dates from 08/29/2025 to 03/13/2026, and 348.60 of police overtime charged on 05/29/2026. The police grant overtime sheets behind the journal code the hours to the Seton Hall first responder training. No figure in the report includes the 20,568.53. The unspent figure on page 2, 470,833.63, equals the 698,387.53 on line G-02-40-698-296 less the 201,003.90 that line had spent through 07/09/2026 and the 26,550.00 still on order, to the cent. It deducts nothing for line G-02-40-698-011. The certified 122,873.94 is 19,800.08 less than the two lines were charged. It is 768.45 more than line G-02-40-698-296 paid, a difference this project could not tie to any row. No set of the G-02-40-698-011 charges makes 768.45. The fire overtime for the course sits inside the police program figure. The police overtime for it sits outside every figure.
