The Borough keeps its settlement money on two lines in department 621, Opioid Settlement Fund. On 05/10/2024 two entries described as Adjust Opioid Acct for NOAT II, Reference 5012, took 3,522.64 and 2,994.25 off line G-02-40-621-000 and put them on line G-02-40-621-001, Opioid Settlement Fund NOAT II. Check 2351 of 02/13/2025 paid Pulsse Services invoice 2025-001 for social worker service from 11/17/2024 to 12/29/2024 on order 24-01086. It charged 1,054.63 to line -000 and 6,516.89 to line -001. The two lines paid 53,316.12 in the year. The certified figure is the line -000 payments alone. No report counts the 6,516.89. The four reports certify 154,272.75 spent. The department total of Expended YTD on the audit trail printed 05/28/2026 is 160,789.64.
unreported-spending · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 317,806.14 received since 2022 and 71,508.80 spent in the year (p1).
It certifies 24,297.28 encumbered and 108,161.09 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p2). The audit trail printed 05/28/2026 shows the two settlement lines paid 160,789.64 through that date. The Budget Detail Inquiry printed 08/31/2026 shows no other payment until check 2728 on 07/09/2026, which drew on the open order. 317,806.14 received less 160,789.64 paid leaves 157,016.50 unspent at 06/30/2026. Less the 24,297.28 open on blanket order 25-02877, 132,719.22 was uncommitted. The certified figure is 24,558.13 less. The books do not give 108,161.09 either. The uncommitted budget balance of the two lines at 06/30/2026 is 103,603.05, the 288,689.97 appropriated less 160,789.64 paid and 24,297.28 encumbered. The certified figure is 4,558.04 above it.
