The FY2026 report certifies 61,115.23 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1, question 3) and the same 61,115.23 unspent and on hand (p2, question 9).
It certifies 5,420.03 received between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1, question 1). That is 61,115.23 less the 55,695.20 the FY2025 report gave as received to date. The Township's settlement account, 02-214-41-621-000, closed 2024 at 35,215.00. Journal GJ 74 of 12/31/2025, an auditor's entry labeled 1/1/25, credited 25,900.23. Those two figures make 61,115.23 to the cent. In the FY2026 period the account also took in six settlement checks, 1,373.31, 4,591.69, 2,427.66 and 1,318.92 on 08/18/2025, 96.52 on 11/20/2025 and 1,117.57 on 05/05/2026, a total of 10,925.67. Neither certified figure includes them. The certified period receipts are 5,505.64 below those six checks, and no set of the checks makes 5,420.03. The account held 72,040.90 on 05/05/2026, the last date the print covers. A total received to date cannot leave out checks the account had already received.
misreported-receipts · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 expended between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1, question 6) and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the same period (p2, question 7).
It also answers that settlement spending allocations have been decided for one to two years (p3, question 14). The Township's settlement account, 02-214-41-621-000, shows journal GJ 53 of 07/17/2025, posted to record the Chapter 159 appropriations passed at the 07/14/2025 Council meeting. It moved 4,208.36 and 1,139.49 out of the settlement reserve, 5,347.85 in all. The two lines equal the checks credited on 06/23/2025 and 05/12/2025. The reserve fell from 40,562.85 to 35,215.00. The money was appropriated inside the period the report covers. If it was spent, question 6 is wrong. If it was not spent, question 7 is wrong. The report certifies 0.00 for both. The appropriation ledger that would show what the money paid for was not produced.
misreported-encumbrance · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 57,074.19 of unspent and uncommitted settlement funds on hand (p1, question 9).
The same report certifies 55,695.20 received since the distribution began in 2022, interest included (p1, question 3). It certifies 0.00 interest for the period (question 2), 0.00 expended (question 6) and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered (question 7). With nothing spent, the money on hand could be no more than the 55,695.20 received. The certified figure on hand is 1,378.99 more than every dollar the Township reports it ever received.
unspent-misstated · 1 document · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 43,862.03 of unspent and uncommitted settlement funds on hand (p1, question 9).
The same report certifies 40,094.14 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1, question 3). That is the 10,878.00 the FY2023 report gave as received plus the 29,216.14 certified for FY2024 (question 1). It certifies 0.00 interest accrued since 2022 (question 2), 0.00 expended (question 6) and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered (question 7). Its answer on administrative expenses says question 2 is unknown (question 8a). With nothing spent, the money on hand could be no more than the 40,094.14 received. The certified figure on hand is 3,767.89 more than every dollar the Township reports it ever received.

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
