01

The FY2025 report certifies a program titled L.E.A.D.

Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence vehicles and curricula at 143,104.33 funded and expended, recipient the Franklin Township Police Department, funding date 11/12/2024, primary category Primary Prevention, Education, and Training (pp4 to 6). It reports 500 participants and 60 sessions. The accounts' only purchase from Lead Inc is purchase order 24-02287, Too Good for Drugs and Violence kits and workbooks, 2,299.75, paid by check 3070 on 05/13/2025. The vendor history for 01/01/2018 to 08/28/2026 shows 4,238.20 paid to Lead Inc from every Township account in that time. The vehicles on the accounts in FY2025 are two 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E shipped to the Police Department under Resolution 24-313, purchase order 24-02476, 95,125.70, paid by check 2973 on 11/12/2024, the funding date the report gives, and their emergency lighting, purchase order 24-03178, 15,514.46, paid by check 3050 on 04/08/2025. The record does not show which payments make up 143,104.33. The report files vehicles under prevention, education and training. No listed prevention use covers a vehicle, and no prevention program using these vehicles is documented.

The FY2025 report certifies a program titled ARRIVE Together Program vehicle at 63,931.58 funded and expended, recipient the Franklin Township Police Department, funding date 12/12/2024, primary category Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention (pp7 to 10).

It describes ARRIVE Together as an officer paired with a certified mental health screener on calls related to behavioral health and addiction, and it states that the program guideline required a police car with no markings to respond to calls for service. The purchase the report certifies is the car. No payment or order on the accounts equals 63,931.58. The vehicle orders on the accounts are two 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E at 47,562.85 each, paid by check 2973 on 11/12/2024, and a 2024 Ford T350 High Roof passenger wagon, purchase order 25-00310, ordered 02/20/2025 and paid by check 3237 on 11/25/2025 at 54,058.50, with its outfitting paid by check 3189 on 09/30/2025 at 8,732.40. No record ties any of them to the ARRIVE program. No listed harm reduction use covers a vehicle, and no overdose program using this car is documented.

The FY2025 report certifies 257,685.91 expended between 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025 (p1).

That figure is the sum of its five programs, and the report names no other spending (pp2 to 11). Narcan at 10,080.00 and Not an easy fix at 15,670.00 tie to payments in the year, and Middle Earth was not paid until 10/14/2025. That leaves the two Police Department programs, L.E.A.D. under Primary Prevention, Education, and Training and ARRIVE Together under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, to carry the rest of the year's payments. The accounts paid in the year for two Motorola APX 8500 mobile digital radios, purchase order 24-02055, 17,223.00, check 2940 on 09/24/2024, for JCM Associates promotional merchandise, purchase order 24-02339, 7,098.25, check 2970 on 11/12/2024, among it fun spinners, cinch bags, lanyards, mood pencils, sports balls, stress balls, water bottles and lanterns, and for a dry chemical fire extinguisher, purchase order 24-02941, 184.00, check 3021 on 12/06/2024. Together they come to 24,505.25. No listed use covers police radios, promotional merchandise or a fire extinguisher, and no prevention or overdose program using them is documented.

The FY2025 report certifies 257,685.91 expended in the reporting period 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2025, the sum of its five program amounts, and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (p1).

The two settlement accounts paid 169,903.16 in that period, 87,782.75 less. Narcan at 10,080.00 and Not an easy fix at 15,670.00 tie to payments in the year. The report certifies the Middle Earth program at 24,900.00 expended, funded and launched 06/24/2025 (p10). Purchase order 25-02498 to Middle Earth was first encumbered 09/15/2025 and paid by check 3200 on 10/14/2025, after the period closed. On 06/30/2025 the accounts carried open orders the report does not show, among them the Ford T350 at 54,058.50, encumbered 02/20/2025, and the Ford Transit outfitting at 8,827.00, encumbered 06/13/2025. Checks 3189 and 3237 paid them on 09/30/2025 and 11/25/2025. The report counts as spent money that had not left the accounts, and certifies no encumbrance while orders were open.

The FY2026 report updates the Employee Readiness and Drug Abuse Prevention Program at 30,908.98 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, citing increased funding and participants, and says the summer program served 25 youth (pp11 to 12).

The only payment to Middle Earth from either settlement account is purchase order 25-02498, check 3200 on 10/14/2025, 24,900.00 in four lines, 5,480.00 part time salary, 14,935.40 services, 3,922.90 supplies and 561.70 fringe. The vendor history for 01/01/2018 to 08/28/2026 shows no other Middle Earth payment from a settlement account. The FY2025 report had already certified that 24,900.00 as expended (p10). No payment makes the other 6,008.98. Read together, the two reports certify 55,808.98 for a program the accounts paid 24,900.00. The same check 3200 also paid 10,000.00 to Middle Earth from the 2024 CDBG grant line named for a Middle Earth part time counselor.

The FY2026 report lists a new program, Community Recovery Champion, recipient Communities in Crisis/Connections, at 20,000.00 funded and 20,000.00 spent in the current reporting year, funded and launched 6/29/2026, with no performance data because the program has just started (pp7 to 10).

Purchase order 26-01279, CRC Program, to Community in Crisis for 20,000.00 was encumbered 05/22/2026 and shows Open on the print of 07/14/2026. The update for 07/01/2026 to 08/28/2026 shows no payment on it. The vendor history for 01/01/2018 to 08/28/2026 shows one payment ever from the Township to Community in Crisis, a 25.00 Franklin Day refund on 11/13/2023. The money the report certifies as spent had not left the account.

The FY2026 report states 720,236.32 received since 2022 and 62,888.98 expended between 7/1/2025 and 6/30/2026 (p1), and says 507,928.00 of unspent funds is on hand (p2).

The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 expended and the FY2025 report certifies 257,685.91, so the four reports certify 320,574.89 spent. That leaves 399,661.43. The on hand figure is 108,266.57 higher. The books show 270,712.03 paid from the two settlement accounts through 06/30/2026. Even on that figure, 720,236.32 received leaves 449,524.29, and the on hand figure is 58,403.71 higher still. The report's received, spent and on hand figures cannot all be true.

The FY2025 report states 569,049.39 received since 2022, 257,685.91 expended between 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025, and 370,126.98 of unspent funds on hand (p1).

The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 expended. Spent plus on hand comes to 627,812.89, which is 58,763.50 more than the report says the Township ever received. By the report's own figures, no more than 311,363.48 could be on hand. The books show 169,903.16 paid from the two settlement accounts in FY2025 and no payment before 08/13/2024. On that figure 399,146.23 would be on hand, which the report does not give either.

The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended as of 6/30/2023 (p1). Neither settlement account shows a payment or an open order before 07/03/2024, and the first payment is check 2911 on 08/13/2024. The report leaves 19,809.16 of the money it says the Township received neither spent, committed nor on hand.

On 06/30/2026 the account carried 36,289.32 of orders not yet paid. Purchase order 26-01279 to Community in Crisis, 20,000.00, was open from 05/22/2026.

Checks 3377 and 3378 paid those two on 07/14/2026. The report counts the 20,000.00 and the 7,480.00 as spent. The video order and the Kaeser and Blair order, 8,809.32, appear in no figure on the report.
