The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 of unspent and uncommitted funds currently on hand (p2).
It certifies 0.00 encumbered (p2), 600.00 spent in the year and 83,631.66 received since 2022 (p1). The four reports certify 2,965.92, 2,250.00, 10,600.00 and 600.00 spent, 16,415.92 in all. On the report's own figures, 83,631.66 received less 16,415.92 spent leaves 67,215.74. The settlement account, G-01-22-750-301-001, prints a modified budget of 51,037.16, expended 16,415.92 and a 616.49 reclass to sub-account G-01-22-750-301-002. That leaves 34,004.75 unexpended. The audit trails printed 06/03/2026 and 09/01/2026 both show 34,004.75 unexpended and nothing encumbered. The next order, 26-01543 for 4,850.00, was opened 09/09/2026. The 06/03/2026 print also shows 2,981.49 unexpended in sub-account -002 and 1,269.31 in sub-account -003. A report of 0.00 on hand and a book balance of 34,004.75 cannot both be true.
unspent-misstated · 7 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 2,250.00 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1).
It lists one program, Footprints for Healthy Living, funded 04/17/2024 at 2,250.00 with 2,250.00 expended and 0.00 encumbered (p2 to p3). Page 3 gives the program launch date as 04/17/2025, ten months after the year closed. The settlement account, G-01-22-750-301-001, paid nothing between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024. The 2,250.00 is purchase order 24-00631 to the Center for Prevention & Counseling, first encumbered 04/30/2024 and paid by check 47840 on 09/04/2024. On 06/30/2024 it was an open order, like the 7,000.00 Steered Straight order the same report lists as encumbered. The FY2025 report then certifies 10,600.00 spent, while the account paid 12,850.00 between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025. An order unpaid at 06/30/2024 cannot have been spent in FY2024.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 48,591.79 received since 2022, 0.00 of interest, no transfer to the county, 10,600.00 spent in the year and 600.00 encumbered (p1).
The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 2,965.92 and 2,250.00 spent. Received less 15,815.92 spent and 600.00 committed leaves 32,175.87. The FY2025 report certifies 27,002.77 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1), 5,173.10 less. The account paid exactly the 15,815.92 the three reports certify by 06/30/2025, so no unreported spending closes the gap. The report's own figures and its on hand answer cannot both be true.
self-contradiction · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 19,349.27 received since 2022, 0.00 of interest, no transfer to the county, 2,250.00 spent in the year and 7,000.00 encumbered (p1).
The FY2023 report certifies 2,965.92 spent (p1). Received less 5,215.92 spent and 7,000.00 committed leaves 7,133.35. The FY2024 report certifies 2,313.60 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1), 4,819.75 less. The account paid only 2,965.92 by 06/30/2024, check 45894 on 06/21/2023, so the money actually unspent was larger still. The report's own figures and its on hand answer cannot both be true.

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
