Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The Township certifies 256,611.24 in opioid settlement money received since 2022 and 1,551.98 spent.
The FY2023 report certifies 75,906.61 received and 0.00 expended, and lists one program, Reduction of Opioid Dependency Education, as not started yet with funding unknown. The FY2024 report certifies 184,592.96 received, 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 184,592.96 on hand, and answers No to funding any program. The FY2025 report certifies 1,551.98 expended on an eight week Citizens Police Academy for 24 participants. That leaves 255,059.26 unspent. All three reports state that the Township has no strategic plan, and none reports a completed risk assessment.
funds-unspent · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 232,552.89 appropriated or encumbered and not yet spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025.
That is 90.6 percent of the 256,611.24 the Township certifies it has received. The FY2024 report had certified 0.00 encumbered. The one program in the FY2025 report, the Citizens Police Academy, is funded at 1,551.98 with 0.00 encumbered, so no program or recipient is named for the 232,552.89. The report says the funds are to provide equipment and programs. Its figures tie, 256,611.24 less 1,551.98 expended and 232,552.89 encumbered is the 22,506.37 it certifies on hand. No ledger has been produced, so the encumbrance cannot 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
