The FY2026 report certifies 13,443.23 received and 10.00 of interest between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, 102,522.86 received since the distribution began in 2022, 0.00 spent, 0.00 encumbered and no transfer to the county (p1).
It certifies 147,485.06 of unspent and uncommitted funds currently on hand (p2, question 9). That is 44,962.20 more than everything the Borough says it ever received. The 102,522.86 is the FY2025 report's total since 2022, 89,069.63, plus the year's 13,443.23 and 10.00, to the cent. No report certifies any spending. The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended as of 06/30/2023, and the FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026 reports each certify 0.00 expended in the year (p1). The Borough's Budget Detail Inquiry printed 05/28/2026 shows five National Opioid grant accounts, G-02-41-887-000-001 to G-02-41-887-000-005, added on 10/31/2025 with Chapter 159 budget insertions of 2,671.39, 4,722.32, 2,565.00, 17,118.01 and 2,216.55, a total of 29,293.27, and no payment, encumbrance or journal through 05/28/2026 (pp1 to 5). Money that was never spent cannot be on hand at more than the total ever received. The earlier reports show the same balance moving with nothing spent. The FY2024 report certifies 98,763.53 on hand against 86,851.08 received since 2022, 11,912.45 more. The FY2025 report certifies 44,715.18 on hand against 89,069.63 received and 1,000.00 encumbered, 43,354.45 less.

The 86,851.08 is the FY2023 report's 28,489.45 plus the year's 55,151.63 and 3,210.00, to the cent. The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 8).

unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 expended and 1,000.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1, questions 6 and 7).
It answers No to whether it funded any new program (p2, question 16). Asked how it decided the best way to use the money that year, the same report answers "We only used $1,000 for Project Graduation." (p2, question 11). The FY2026 report, for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, certifies 0.00 spent and 0.00 encumbered and answers that nothing has been spent yet (p1 and p2, questions 6, 7 and 11). The Borough's Budget Detail Inquiry printed 05/28/2026 shows the five settlement accounts added on 10/31/2025 with no payment, encumbrance or journal through 05/28/2026 (pp1 to 5). No produced ledger covers FY2025. The report cannot say 1,000.00 was used and certify that nothing was spent.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 2,216.55 received between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025, 2.00 of interest and 89,069.63 received since 2022, interest included (p1, questions 1 to 3).
It certifies 0.00 expended and 1,000.00 appropriated or encumbered in the period (p1, questions 6 and 7). The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 expended. With nothing spent, received less encumbered is 88,069.63. The report certifies 44,715.18 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1, question 9), 43,354.45 less.
