4 findings.
Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.
Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (Q7, page 2).
Its own program block for the CPC Integrated Health Mobile Outreach Van certifies total funding of 50,000.00, with 25,000.00 spent and 25,000.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (page 8). The block gives a funding date of 10/28/2025, a launch date of 06/24/2026 and 0 individuals served (pages 8 and 9). The same report cannot carry 0.00 encumbered and 25,000.00 encumbered. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 123,343.15 received since 2022 (Q3, page 1).
The four reports certify 30,500.00 spent in all, 0.00 for FY2023, 1,500.00 for FY2024, 1,500.00 for FY2025 and 27,500.00 for FY2026. That leaves 92,843.15. The FY2026 report's van block certifies 25,000.00 encumbered but not yet spent (page 8), which leaves 67,843.15 unspent and uncommitted. The report certifies 0.00 of unspent or uncommitted funds on hand (Q9, page 2). It reports 0.00 transferred to the county and 0.00 administrative. Nothing in the report accounts for the 67,843.15. No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 82,408.61 unspent and uncommitted on hand (Q9, page 1).
The FY2025 report certifies 12,444.10 received and 0.00 of interest between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025, and 96,352.71 received since 2022, which is the earlier total plus that payment to the cent. It certifies 1,500.00 expended, 2,500.00 appropriated or encumbered and 0.00 administrative for the year (page 1). Those figures leave 90,852.71 unspent and uncommitted. The report certifies 81,404.45 (Q9, page 1). That is 9,448.26 less, and the report accounts for none of the difference. No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 1,500.00 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (page 1), all of it on the Black Poster Project, funded and launched 5/17/2024 and held at the high school that day (pages 2 and 3).
The FY2025 report certifies 1,500.00 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (page 1). Its only program block is the same Black Poster Project, funded and launched 05/17/2024, one time only, 1,500.00 expended (pages 2 and 3). That date falls before the FY2025 period began. The report also answers Yes to funding a new program that year. Its narrative describes support for one student through the K.E.Y.S. Academy (page 2), which no program block reports. Either the same 1,500.00 is counted in two years, or the FY2025 spending is reported under a program that took place the year before. No ledger has been produced.

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
