10 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 FY2023 report lists a program named Substance Use/Mental Health Support Services for People Engaging in Criminal Activity, recipient LeadsOnline, funded 05/22/2023 and launched 05/31/2023 at 39,032.00 for a five year plan, primary category Diversion from Incarceration (pp4 to 5).
It describes the program as use of LeadsOnline police data on crimes, crime patterns, stolen property and investigations to offer support resources. It reports no clients served. The report's certified expended figure, 69,772.30, is the four programs' funding amounts added together, so it counts the 39,032.00 as spent. The FY2025 update reports the program at 0.00 with no modifications and says the Township is still working on a program to connect people in contact with law enforcement with treatment (p8). The FY2026 update reports it at 0.00 and says the program has ended (p12). The produced books show no payment to LeadsOnline. The current fund account that carried FY2023 spending, 3-01-41-03592-701, was not produced. Exhibit E names pre-arrest diversion and deflection programs, not a police data service. No diversion program using it is documented.
program-misclassification · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 21,870.06 expended in the period 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025, 5,000.00 of it administrative, and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (p1).
The account paid 24,575.48 in that period, 19,575.48 to vendors and the 5,000.00 salary journal of 05/23/2025, reference 1613. The certified figure leaves out 4,455.42 paid in the period on four orders placed before 07/01/2024. They are Little Hat Marketing check 95107 for 373.00 and USA Custom Tents check 95129 for 2,745.00 on 07/16/2024, WRS Group check 95249 for 1,010.71 on 07/31/2024 and Cerebellum check 95278 for 326.71 on 08/15/2024. It adds 1,750.00 for two orders placed in the period and unpaid when it closed. Elson-Victor order 25-02491 for 250.00 was paid by check 97454 on 07/01/2025. Bellace order 25-02312 for 1,500.00 was paid by check 98084 on 10/15/2025. 24,575.48 less 4,455.42 plus 1,750.00 is 21,870.06, the certified figure to the cent. The report counts orders by the date they were placed, not payments by the date they were made. It also reports nothing encumbered while both orders were open on 06/30/2025.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 16,265.48 spent in the period 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 (p1).
Its three program updates split that figure to the cent, Student and parent education 6,500.48 (p9), Community behavioral health education and outreach 8,895.00 (p10) and Unwanted Medication Disposal 870.00 (p14). The account paid 13,870.48 in the period. The certified figure leaves out 1,750.00 of those payments, check 97454 for 250.00 on 07/01/2025 and check 98084 for 1,500.00 on 10/15/2025, on orders the FY2025 report had already counted. It adds 2,325.00 paid on 07/15/2026, after the period closed, check 99751 for 1,540.00 and 400.00 and check 99748 for 385.00. It also adds Elson-Victor order 26-02664 for 1,820.00 in senior center counseling, opened 06/30/2026 and still open on the 08/31/2026 print. 13,870.48 less 1,750.00 plus 2,325.00 plus 1,820.00 is 16,265.48. The report counts every order placed in the year, paid or not, as spent.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report updates the FY2023 program Pre-K to 8, High School and Town Buildings Substance Use Prevention and Potential Overdose Mitigation.
It says the Township completed the purchase and installation of middle school bathroom vape detectors for an additional 10,248.00 and that the 10,248.00 was expended in FY2024 (p9). The report's certified expended figure, 32,182.13, is its three new programs, 2,578.00, 16,611.13 and 2,745.00, plus this 10,248.00, to the cent (pp1, 4, 6, 8 and 9). The FY2023 report files the program under primary category Overdose Prevention and gives its problem as underage e-cigarette use, nicotine and marijuana (pp3 to 4). The FY2025 and FY2026 reports repeat the 10,248.00 (FY2025 p9, FY2026 p13). The grant fund account, which carries settlement spending from 12/29/2023, shows no payment for vape detectors through 08/31/2026. The current fund account that carried spending before that date, 3-01-41-03592-701, was not produced. Exhibit E's school entry covers programs or strategies that have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing drug misuse. Vape detectors are not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no prevention or cessation program using them is documented.

FY2024 certifies 16,611.13 and names Amsley Promotions and Daybreak Marketing as recipients (pp5 to 7). The FY2025 update certifies 10,812.14 and the FY2026 update 6,500.48. Both say the money funded Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs participant prizes and youth give-aways and L.E.A.D. 5th grade graduation incentives and student give-aways (FY2025 pp5 to 6, FY2026 pp8 to 9). The FY2026 update calls both events evidence-based programs (p10). The books show what the give-aways were. FY2024, Amsley Promotions check 94686 for 1,377.00 in L.E.A.D. graduation bags and Daybreak Marketing check 94709 for a 303.85 graduation giveaway on 05/15/2024.

program-misclassification · 6 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report lists a new program named Community and Police Engagement, recipient USA Tents, funded and launched 05/23/2024, at 2,745.00 expended and 0.00 encumbered in the period 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024 (pp7 to 8).
It files the program under Primary Prevention, Education, and Training and describes a space at community events for police demonstrations and for police, youth and residents to meet. The account shows USA Custom Tents order 24-02450 for a tent top and table covers, first encumbered 05/30/2024 and paid by check 95129 on 07/16/2024, after the period closed. The FY2025 report, whose period holds the payment, leaves it out. The same FY2024 report certifies 0.00 encumbered while this order and three others, 4,455.42 in all, were open on 06/30/2024. Police community relations equipment is not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no listed use covers it. No evidence-based program using the tent is documented.
misreported-expenditure · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 (p2).
On 06/30/2026 four orders were open on the account for 4,425.00. Elson-Victor order 26-01072 for 1,820.00, open since 03/12/2026, was cut by 280.00 on 07/09/2026 and paid 1,540.00 by check 99751 on 07/15/2026.

misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 292,151.37 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p2).
Its own figures leave less. The FY2025 report put the unspent balance at 238,103.43 (p2). Adding the FY2026 receipts of 68,849.09 and taking off the 16,265.48 the FY2026 report says was spent leaves 290,687.04 (p1). The FY2026 total received since 2022, 430,777.01, less the four reports' certified expended figures, 69,772.30, 32,182.13, 21,870.06 and 16,265.48, also leaves 290,687.04. The account prints the same 290,687.04 as its balance after the checks of 07/15/2026, with order 26-02664 for 1,820.00 set aside, and 285,687.04 after the salary journal of 08/19/2026, the day the report was last updated. The certified figure is 1,464.33 higher than any of these. 1,464.33 is Amsley Promotions check 99443 of 05/29/2026 for L.E.A.D. bags, which the same report counts as spent inside Student and parent education.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026 reports certify the After the Fire presentation by Simons Says inside Student and parent education (FY2024 p5, FY2025 p5, FY2026 p8).
The FY2025 report says the settlement money expands existing programs or funds new ones, with no supplanting (p2). The vendor history shows the same cost on the local budget first. The Municipal Alliance specialized expenses line paid Simons Says 1,000.00 for After the Fire by check 83984 on 04/30/2019 and check 90331 on 04/29/2022, and 1,500.00 for a Howell High School assembly by check 92474 on 04/28/2023, from account 3-01-27-03322-417.
