The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 in unspent and uncommitted opioid funds on hand.
The same report certifies 65,704.42 received since 2022 and 36,484.66 expended in the period. The FY2023 report certifies 4,000.00 expended and the FY2024 report certifies 0.00 expended, so the three reports account for 40,484.66 spent. That leaves 25,219.76 unspent. Even after the 19,503.15 the FY2025 report certifies as encumbered, 5,716.61 remains uncommitted. The FY2024 report has the same gap. It certifies 47,465.06 received, 0.00 expended in the period and 20,455.86 encumbered, and also certifies 0.00 on hand. On its own figures 43,465.06 was unspent and 23,009.20 was uncommitted. The Borough has produced no ledger.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2023 report certifies 4,000.00 expended as of 06/30/2023.
Its one program, MA Enhancement/Prevention and education, recipient Health Department, is funded at 4,000.00 and the report gives the date the program was funded as 8/18/2023. That date is seven weeks after the 06/30/2023 date the expenditure is certified as of. The report describes the program as an enhancement of a Municipal Alliance program already in place and answers n/a to clients seen, performance indicators and impact. No ledger has been produced to show when the 4,000.00 was paid.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 09/23/2026The FY2026 report certifies 36,982.95 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1).
Asked whether the Borough funded any program with opioid funds in the year, it answers No (p4), and it describes no FY2026 program. The one program block it prints is the FY2023 program MA Enhancement/Prevention and education, with 36,484.66 expended for the period 07/01/2022 to 06/30/2023, last updated 10/16/2025 (p5). The FY2023 report certified 4,000.00 for that program. 36,484.66 is the total the FY2025 report certified as spent. The FY2026 narrative says the year's funds went to updating and improving equipment used by the Borough's police officers (pp2 to 3). The report names no item and no overdose program using the equipment. The Borough has produced no ledger, so what the 36,982.95 bought cannot be tested against the books.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2025 report certifies 36,484.66 expended on one program, Safe and Supported, A Community Policing and Outreach Program.
The recipient is the Borough of Beachwood itself. The program description names one event, a Coffee with a Cop, and the only performance indicator reported is one training or education session. The same report says funds were used to upgrade the police K9 unit, and cites the unit's role in narcotics detection and enforcement. The FY2024 report says the Borough chose to enhance equipment for the police department. The report gives a launch date of 07/01/2024, a funding date of 06/30/2025, the last day of the period, and N/A for procurement. No ledger has been produced, so what the 36,484.66 paid for cannot be tested against the books.
misreported-programs · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2024 report certifies 20,455.86 appropriated or encumbered and not yet spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024.
The same report answers No to funding any program, so no program or recipient is named for the 20,455.86. The FY2025 report then certifies 19,503.15 encumbered and does not say what became of the earlier amount. No ledger has been produced, so neither encumbrance can be tested against the books.

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 Beachwood 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
