Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2025 report certifies 329,157.27 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).
That figure equals, to the cent, every charge in the period on the County's National Opioid accounts numbered 791-613. Those charges include provider checks, the cargo van, supplies, travel, and the salary and fringe journals for County Human Services staff. The County charged another 114,727.80 in the same period to two other National Opioid accounts, 02-213-23-791-616-110 Salary and Wage Harm Reduction and 02-213-23-791-616-942 Fringe Harm Reduction. That is 78,119.87 of salary and 36,607.93 of fringe, posted from 11/18/2024 to 06/26/2025. The County's later journals on the same salary account call it RHall Harm Grant Salary. The report leaves all of it out. The books show 443,885.07 spent in the period. The same report lists Somerset HEAL, with Richard Hall Community Health and Wellness Center as recipient, at 53,250.54 spent (p4). The report counts the County's payroll journals on one account series and omits them on the other, so the certified figure is 114,727.80 below the books.
unreported-spending · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report lists HEAL Somerset (Harm Reduction Center), recipient Richard Hall Community Health and Wellness Center, as a new 2026 program with 283,228.00 of funding and 219,615.00 spent (p18).
The same report carries an update to the 2025 program Somerset HEAL that reports 219,615.00 spent in the period 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2026, last updated 8/27/2026 (pp46 to 47). It is one program reported twice for one period. The twelve 2026 program blocks total 593,493.97 spent. With the HEAL update added, the program pages total 813,108.97, which is 54,733.98 more than the 758,374.99 the report certifies as spent (p1). Counted once, the program pages describe 593,493.97 of the 751,251.99 spent outside administration. The other 157,758.02 is in no program block. The certified total itself ties to the books.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies Peer Recovery Pop Ups, recipient Community in Crisis, at 30,000.00 spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, the full funding of the program (p16).
Community In Crisis billed the County one invoice for each quarter of 2024. The four checks total 30,000.00 to the cent: check 397751 for 7,314.76 on 07/05/2024, check 400242 for 4,363.77 on 09/20/2024, check 404228 for 9,454.32 on 01/10/2025 and check 406604 for 8,867.15 on 03/14/2025. Every one was paid after FY2024 closed. The FY2025 report then certifies the same program at 34,338.72 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p11). Those four checks and check 409347 for 4,338.72 on 06/18/2025 make that figure to the cent. The two reports certify 64,338.72 for the program against 34,338.72 paid. The 26,805.17 the County did pay Community In Crisis in FY2024 was for the 2023 quarters, and the FY2025 report gives the 2023 program 0.00 spent for that period (p14).
misreported-expenditure · 5 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 184,771.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1).
That figure is the full funding of four programs added together. They are S.C.O.U.T. at 97,771.00 (p7), Allied and Holistic Therapies at 50,000.00 (p9), Peer Recovery Pop Ups at 30,000.00 (p16), and the 7,000.00 the FY2023 report lists as encumbered for Connection to Recovery Housing (FY2023 p7). The same FY2024 report certifies 44,305.50, 19,055.00 and 30,000.00 of the first three as already spent (pp7, 9, 16). That 93,360.50 is counted both as spent and as not yet spent. The program pages list 63,360.50 encumbered, not 184,771.00. The 7,000.00 for recovery housing is order 273062 for sober living services, entered 06/18/2024. It was still open on 08/31/2026 with no payment.
fake-encumbrance · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 1,354.50 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p2).
That is the two Blick Art Materials invoices on order 298169, 478.59 and 875.91, paid 07/17/2026. The same report's program pages list 173,827.71 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent (pp6 to 44). The books show 268,434.39 on open orders at 06/30/2026. Among them are order 298823 for 150,000.00 and order 298822 for 20,966.00 under the Community In Crisis contracts, open since 03/13/2026, order 300856 for 37,500.00 under the Center for Great Expectations contract, open since 04/30/2026, seven orders for 33,500.00 entered 06/15/2026, and order 302080 for 12,902.00, paid 07/17/2026. The certified figure is 267,079.89 below the books and 172,473.21 below the report's own program pages.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies S.C.O.U.T., recipient Somerset Treatment Services, at 44,305.50 spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p7).
The County paid the provider 17,166.69 in that period, check 395637 on 05/17/2024. The second quarter check, 398664 for 26,638.81, was paid 07/19/2024, after the period closed. The two checks and 500.00 more make the FY2024 figure. The FY2025 report certifies the same program at 80,604.31 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p13). Check 398664, check 401503 for 28,517.25 on 10/25/2024 and check 405748 for 25,448.25 on 02/07/2025 make that figure to the cent. Check 398664 is in both. The two reports certify 124,909.81 for the program. The County paid it 97,771.00 in all, the contract amount.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies Allied and Holistic Therapies, Early Relational Health, recipient Center for Great Expectations, at 19,055.00 spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p9).
Two payments make that figure to the cent, check 394719 for 6,152.00 on 04/19/2024 and check 398540 for 12,903.00 on 07/19/2024. The second was paid 19 days after the period closed. The FY2025 report updates the same program at 55,230.00 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p13). Four payments make that figure to the cent, check 398540 for 12,903.00 on 07/19/2024, check 400916 for 13,165.00 on 10/11/2024, check 404559 for 15,559.00 on 01/17/2025 and check 407860 for 13,603.00 on 04/25/2025. Check 398540 is in both. The two reports certify 74,285.00 for the program against 61,382.00 paid.
misreported-expenditure · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report says the County had received 765,960.53 since distributions began in 2022, interest included (p1, question 3).
The same page certifies 1,443,412.04 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1, question 9). That is 677,451.51 more than everything the report says was received. The County's reports also certify 42,654.52 spent through 6/30/23 and 186,325.77 spent from 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024. By its own figures no more than 536,980.24 could have been on hand.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report says the County had received 1,507,600.47 since distributions began in 2022, interest included (p1, question 3).
It certifies 1,611,961.39 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p2, question 9). That is 104,360.92 more than everything the report says was received. The County's reports certify 558,137.56 spent from the start through 06/30/2025, 42,654.52 in FY2023, 186,325.77 in FY2024 and 329,157.27 in FY2025. By its own figures no more than 949,462.91 could have been on hand.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/04/2026Each report asks for the total received since distributions began in 2022.
Through FY2025 the County's answers chain. The FY2023 report gives 468,750.64 received as of 6/30/23 (p1). FY2024 adds 279,353.46 received and 17,856.43 of interest for a total of 765,960.53 (p1). FY2025 adds 719,597.96 received and 22,041.98 of interest for 1,507,600.47 (p1). The FY2026 report gives 487,751.89 received and 56,033.68 of interest in the year, which makes 2,051,386.04. It certifies 3,147,712.72 received since 2022 (p1), a difference of 1,096,326.68 that the report does not explain. Either the FY2026 total or the earlier totals are wrong. The County produced no receipts detail before 05/01/2026, so the record does not show which.
misreported-receipts · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2024 report certifies 186,325.77 spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1).
That is its six program figures and 4,313.00 of administrative expense. The National Opioid accounts show 177,562.08 net charged in that period. The program figures count three checks paid after the period closed, 12,903.00 to the Center for Great Expectations and 26,638.81 to Somerset Treatment Services on 07/19/2024, and check 399122 for 9,155.00 to the Change Companies on 08/09/2024. They also count 30,000.00 for the 2024 Peer Recovery Pop Ups, whose checks were paid 07/05/2024 to 03/14/2025. No set of rows composes the 8,763.69 difference.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies Holistic and Allied Therapy Services, recipient Center for Great Expectations, at 45,905.00 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, with 4,095.00 of the 50,000.00 funding still encumbered (p8).
The books show three checks to the Center in that period, 411198 for 13,509.00 on 07/18/2025, 413863 for 14,482.00 on 10/17/2025 and 417150 for 8,406.00 on 01/23/2026. They total 36,397.00. The next check, 423236 for 12,902.00 for the first quarter of 2026, was paid 07/17/2026, after the period closed. The certified figure is 9,508.00 above what was paid.
misreported-expenditure · 5 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies the Grief, Healing and Recovery Workshop, recipient Hunterdon Hope Seekers, at 2,966.84 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, with 466.84 encumbered of 3,500.00 funding (p44).
Those two figures add to 3,433.68, not 3,500.00. The books show no payment for the workshop in the period. On 06/15/2026 the County entered order 302805 for 3,500.00 for services under a memorandum of understanding. On 07/15/2026 it released 2,966.84 of that order to order 303960, and on 07/17/2026 it paid that amount by check 423333 to Once Addicted Always Addicted for a keynote presenter.
misreported-expenditure · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 758,374.99 of opioid abatement funds spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1).
That figure equals every charge on the National Opioid accounts in the period, to the cent. Three of those charges are cotton T-shirts from Crestline Specialties, 492.00 on order 292640 on 11/25/2025, a reimbursement to Prevention Resources for a Chick-fil-A lunch, 493.91 on order 295088 on 12/12/2025, and purple power clips from 4imprint, 1,813.11 on order 299700 on 04/30/2026. Apparel, giveaway merchandise and catering are not among the uses Exhibit E lists. No record shows a program that used them, so no listed use covers them.
non-conforming-spending · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 329,157.27 spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).
That figure equals every charge in the period on the 791-613 National Opioid accounts, to the cent. The report's nine program figures and its 3,231.00 of administrative salary add to the same total, so every non-salary charge sits inside a program figure. Three of those charges are giveaway merchandise. They are Milos zipper storage pouches from Calico Promotional Products, 717.00 by check 400686 on 10/04/2024, Bermuda zipper vinyl travel bags from Calico, 767.00 by check 402203 on 11/22/2024, and an 8 foot table throw from 4imprint, 468.15 on 11/26/2024. Giveaway merchandise is not among the uses Exhibit E lists. No record shows a program that used the items, so no listed use covers them.
non-conforming-spending · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2023 report certifies 42,654.52 expended as of 6/30/23, 1,746.00 of it administrative (p1).
The salary and fringe journals on the National Opioid accounts between 07/01/2022 and 06/30/2023 net to that figure to the cent. They are 40,908.52 for the Behavioral Health System Navigator, the amount the report gives that program as spent (p2), and 1,746.00 of the Drug and Alcohol Director's salary at 5 percent. The first journal, on 01/31/2023, charged 2022 salary to the fund.
accurate-certification · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 758,374.99 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1) and 7,123.00 of administrative expense (p2).
Every check, payroll journal and reversal on the National Opioid accounts in that period nets to 758,374.99 to the cent. The total includes 9,016.68 that the HEAL other expenses account print shows only inside a balance brought forward to 05/01/2026. The 7,123.00 equals five administrative salary journals for the Drug and Alcohol Director at 5 percent. Two of them, 2,832.00, record January to June 2025 salary and were posted on 08/19/2025.
