The Township's Budget Detail Inquiry for account G-02-22-731-000-002, National Opioid Settlement, shows ten lines paid by check inside that window.

zero-certification · 2 documents · 09/23/2026On 07/11/2025, eleven days after the FY2025 reporting window closed, two journal lines under reference 6267 credited account G-02-22-731-000-002.
Sequence 1, 3,000.00, reads AJE Correct Grant Chargeoff for Rec TF. It equals the two SOS Opioid Ads lines. Sequence 3, 121,994.20, reads AJE Correct GrntChargeoff for PD Vehicle. It equals the eight police vehicle and equipment lines. Together they restore the account from 0.00 to 124,994.20. The same day journal reference 6268 moved that 124,994.20 into account G-02-24-757-000-001 with the memo Xfer to new consolidated opioid acct. The FY2025 report, which certifies 0.00 expended, reports on the year these entries followed. Journal reference 6267 itself was not produced. Its sequence 2, the side that took on the 121,994.20 of police purchases and the 3,000.00 of ads, is not in the record, so which Township appropriation now carries those costs is not known.
reporting-contradiction · 3 documents · 09/23/2026Between 10/21/2024 and 05/19/2025 the Township paid 121,994.20 from its National Opioid Settlement account for police vehicle and traffic equipment.
A police pickup truck from Gentilini Chevrolet LLC for 49,901.64. Two traffic signs and cloud services from All Traffic Solutions Inc for 35,631.30. A black out enclosed trailer from FDR Hitches, LLC for 12,900.00. A dual antenna radar system from Stalker Radar Applied Concepts for 2,214.00. A mobile radio from PMC Associates for 4,752.50. A lightbar system and installation from Elite Emergency Lights LLC for 16,594.76. The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 spent for the year these were paid. No abatement program using any of the items is documented, and none is among the uses Exhibit E lists. The Township journaled the same 121,994.20 back onto the account on 07/11/2025 with the memo AJE Correct GrntChargeoff for PD Vehicle. Until that entry the settlement money had carried the purchases for between two and nine months.
non-conforming-spending · 1 document · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 384,905.70 unspent on hand at question 9 and the same 384,905.70 as total received since 2022 at question 3.
Account G-02-24-757-000-001 printed a balance of exactly 384,905.70 from 07/21/2025 to 08/18/2025. That balance is the 251,730.13 Chapter 159 appropriation of 10/28/2024, plus 10,659.37 moved in by journal reference 6123 on 07/11/2025, plus the 124,994.20 moved in by journal reference 6268 the same day, less a 2,478.00 payment on 07/21/2025. The certified unspent figure counts as unspent the 124,994.20 paid for police purchases and ads inside the reporting year and taken back off the account after it closed.
reporting-contradiction · 2 documents · 09/23/2026Purchase order 25-02282 to Team Life, Inc. for 30 Powerheart G5 defibrillator pads, 2,478.00, charged to account G-02-24-757-000-001, was first encumbered 06/20/2025, received 07/07/2025 and paid on check 39218 on 07/21/2025.
It was open at 06/30/2025. The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 encumbered at question 7 and 0.00 expended at question 6, and its 384,905.70 unspent figure is net of the 2,478.00. The order appears nowhere in the report.
