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 FY2026 report certifies 47,851.09 spent in the reporting period 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2026 (p1), and the Connect and Protect update certifies the same 47,851.09 (p4).
The opioid accounts paid 34,969.38 net in that period, MHAEM co-responder invoices from check 57909 on 07/22/2025 to check 57983 on 06/23/2026, a 225.20 Castle Printing order, a 348.32 Atlantic Tactical vest and Amazon supplies. The certified figure equals every charge to the accounts from 03/05/2025 through 07/09/2026. That adds 8,813.17 paid between 03/05/2025 and 06/17/2025, which the FY2025 report had already certified as spent, and 4,068.54 on check 57985 of 07/09/2026, the April 2026 MHAEM invoice charged to account G-02-41-779-001 after the year closed. Read together, the FY2025 and FY2026 reports certify 58,684.05 spent. The accounts paid 43,782.55 from the first payment through 06/30/2026.
misreported-expenditure · 7 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 10,832.96 expended in the reporting period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 (p1), and the Connect and Protect program block certifies the same 10,832.96 (p3).
Account 5-02-95-000-021 paid 8,813.17 net in that period, from an Amazon order on 03/05/2025 to the MHAEM payment of 06/17/2025. The difference is 2,019.79, check 57898 to MHAEM for 1,507.00 and 512.79 on purchase order 25-00217. The audit trail prints that check as paid on 06/17/2025, then as void, then the same two lines reissued on check 57902 the same day. The certified figure is the 8,813.17 that was paid plus the check that was voided. MHAEM was paid once.
misreported-expenditure · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 176,204.91 received since 2022 (p1), 10,832.96 expended in the period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 (p1), 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (p1) and 110,688.74 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p2).
The FY2024 report certifies 0.00 expended. Received less expended is 165,371.95. The on hand figure is 54,683.21 lower. That is the Year 1 Township match in the co-responder agreement Resolution 463 approved on 12/03/2024, which the Chief Financial Officer was to certify as available in January 2025 (resolution p2). The opioid account paid 8,813.17 from 03/05/2025 to 06/17/2025. A report that holds 54,683.21 back as committed while it certifies 0.00 encumbered cannot be right on both lines.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2026 (p2).
On account G-02-41-779-001 the MHAEM history prints purchase order 26-00346 lines 14 and 15, 3,555.75 and 512.79, first encumbered 06/09/2026 and paid on check 57985 on 07/09/2026, and line 17, 4,068.54, first encumbered 06/09/2026 and paid on check 57991 on 08/05/2026. The Amazon history prints purchase order 26-00294 line 71, 11.51, first encumbered 06/02/2026 and paid on check 57995 on 08/19/2026. The four lines total 8,148.59, all open at 06/30/2026. Lines 14 and 15 are the same 4,068.54 that the report counts as spent in FY2026.
misreported-encumbrance · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 10,832.96 expended in the period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025 and 10,932.96 spent on program administrative expenses in the same period (p1).
The administrative figure is 100.00 more than the total. The explanation at 8a describes the co-responder agreement with the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, the program itself, not its administration. Administration cannot exceed everything spent, so the two figures cannot both be true.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (p1).
Its Connect and Protect block, in the same report, certifies 14,267.04 encumbered or appropriated (p3). That figure is the program's 25,100.00 in funding less the 10,832.96 certified as expended. The 25,100.00 equals the vehicle allowance in the co-responder agreement, which Resolution 463 says the Township must fund without the federal grant. The two encumbrance figures cannot both be true.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 221,076.41 received since 2022 (p1), 47,851.09 spent in the period 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2026 (p1), 0.00 encumbered (p2), no transfer to the County (p1) and 156,899.10 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p2).
The earlier reports certify 0.00 spent for FY2024 and 10,832.96 for FY2025. Received less everything certified as spent is 162,392.36. The on hand figure is 5,493.26 lower, with nothing encumbered and nothing transferred to explain it. The books do not close the gap either. The opioid accounts paid 43,782.55 from 03/05/2025 through 06/30/2026, which leaves 177,293.86 of the certified receipts.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 126,751.10 received since 2022, including 3,784.26 of interest (p1).
It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 on administration for 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 (p1), and 122,966.38 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p1). Received less spent is 126,751.10. The on hand figure is 3,784.72 lower. The books agree that nothing was spent. No payment leaves the opioid accounts before 03/05/2025.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 3,784.26 of interest since 2022 and 126,751.10 received since 2022, which is 44,940.15 plus 78,026.69 plus that interest.
The FY2025 report certifies 176,204.91 received since 2022, labeled as the total including interest accrued. That is 44,940.15 plus 78,026.69 plus 53,238.07, with the interest left out. The FY2026 report certifies 221,076.41, which is 176,204.91 plus 41,087.24 plus the same 3,784.26. The three reports cannot all state the Township's receipts correctly.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies all 10,832.96 of its spending under one program, Connect and Protect, in the category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, described as crisis responders who assist the Police Department (p3, p4).
The FY2026 update certifies all 47,851.09 under the same program (p4). Inside those figures the opioid account paid 20 percent shares of police and office equipment. On account 5-02-95-000-021 these were Dell desktop and training computers 1,235.91 (check 57872, 03/18/2025), a CDW printer and scanner 78.80 (check 57875, 03/19/2025), CDW patrol room training monitors 359.20 (check 57879, 04/01/2025), Spectrum radios, charger, battery and license 393.40 (check 57885, 04/09/2025) and an Atlantic Tactical ballistic vest for the clinician 348.32 (check 57921, 09/17/2025). Amazon police office supplies were 99.60 on account 6-02-95-000-021 (check 57949, 03/04/2026) and 5.36 on account G-02-41-779-001 (check 57976, 06/03/2026). They total 2,520.59. The federal grant account paid the other 80 percent of each. The co-responder agreement has the Township supply clinicians two police portable radios and up to four bulletproof vests. Computers, monitors, a printer, radios, body armor and office supplies are not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no listed use covers them.

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
What did Mount Olive Township tell the State it spent the money on?
It certified 2 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
