The FY2025 report certifies 174,306.17 received since the distribution began in 2022 and 118,799.54 of unspent funds on hand.
The difference is 55,506.63. The reserve account 03-296-56-000-006 paid out exactly 55,506.63 through 06/30/2025, 7,160.60 in FY2023, 17,442.64 in FY2024 and 30,903.39 in FY2025. The 118,799.54 is the balance the account printed on 06/11/2025, and nothing posts again until 07/01/2025. The three reports certify 5,764.60, 13,136.19 and 18,562.39 expended, 37,463.18 in all. That leaves 18,043.45 of spending in no report. In FY2023 and FY2024 the amounts left out are the LEAD Day purchasing card food, 1,396.00 and 4,306.45. In FY2025 the amount left out is 12,341.00. Two FY2025 payments appear in no program figure on the report, Starhouse Media 8,500.00, described as 36 month movie access for K5-3 and K5-1, and a 3,842.00 shirt order. They total 12,342.00, 1.00 more than the gap. The receipts figure matches the settlement receipts in the account to the cent. The FY2026 report, published 10/01/2026, lists none of these payments. Its spending figure is 6,118.45 more than the reserve paid in FY2026. That excess equals the 18,043.45 less 11,925.00 the reserve received in FY2026 that the report does not count as settlement money.
misreported-expenditure · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies a program named Hanging with Heroes at 4,797.76 expended, recipient Sparta Police Department, primary category Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention.
It describes a night open to the community to spend with first responders, geared towards youth with activities, where vendors such as the Center for Prevention and the municipal alliance bring opioid information and naloxone kits to hand out. The FY2025 report certifies 4,482.25 more for the same program. The reserve payments whose descriptions name the event total 6,445.55, 2,321.36 in October and November 2023 and 4,124.19 in October and November 2024. They reimburse restaurant supply, meat market and farm purchases, supplies, a Batman appearance and kid crafts, and pay for barbecue supplies, food, 1,439.00 of ice cream, cookies and juice boxes and card purchases of supplies. No naloxone, test strips or other harm reduction supplies were paid from the reserve through 06/30/2025. The first harm reduction purchase from the reserve is a vending machine paid on 06/25/2026. An order for medical supplies, 3,976.35, was open on 08/25/2026. The print does not state its contents. The report places the naloxone at vendor booths. None of it was bought from the reserve. The fund paid for food and activities.
false-characterization · 3 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2025 report certifies 4,237.14 spent in the period on the program Basic Police Academy Training.
It explains the figure as new training for two officers, one for narcotics and one for operational readiness when addressing opioid use disorders, and training CPR instructors and equipment. Four payments from the reserve in FY2025 make the figure to the cent. Cardio Partners was paid 2,712.14 on 10/09/2024 for DT AEDs per quote Q1073527. Lifesavers was paid 975.00 on 10/24/2024 for a registration for two officers. N.J. Narcotic Enforcement Officers was paid 100.00 on 11/13/2024 for one officer's registration. Zschool was paid 450.00 on 01/15/2025 for the police chief's registration. Other combinations of FY2025 payments also make 4,237.14. This one is the only combination of the four that matches the report's description of narcotics training, operational readiness training, CPR instructors and equipment. No academy tuition was paid from the reserve in FY2025. Of the figure certified as academy training, 2,712.14 is defibrillator hardware. No overdose program using the AEDs is documented, and defibrillators are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
false-characterization · 5 documents · 09/26/2026The FY2024 report covers 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024.
It certifies 134,682.47 received since 2022 and 135,872.76 of unspent funds on hand. The unspent figure is 1,190.29 more than everything the report says the Township received. 135,872.76 is the balance the reserve account printed on 08/09/2024, after four settlement receipts of 14,099.23, 4,251.87 and 3,612.97 on 08/07/2024 and 4,161.53 on 08/09/2024. Those 26,125.60 arrived in FY2025, and the FY2025 report counts them in its FY2025 receipts. On 06/26/2024, the last entry of FY2024, the account printed a balance of 110,007.07. The certified figure is 25,865.69 higher, the four receipts less two July 2024 purchasing card charges of 207.67 and 52.24.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 09/25/2026The FY2023 report certifies 5,764.60 expended.
The reserve paid 7,160.60 in that year. The difference, 1,396.00, is two purchasing card charges on 06/09/2023 for LEAD Day, Sparta Dairy 996.00 and Villa Capri 400.00. The FY2024 report certifies 13,136.19. The reserve paid 17,442.64 in that year. The difference, 4,306.45, is five purchasing card charges for LEAD Day, 544.52 and 222.78 on 05/31/2024 and 1,056.32 and 804.00 of pizza and 1,678.83 of ice cream on 06/05/2024. In each year the certified figure equals every purchase order payment from the reserve to the cent. Only the LEAD Day card charges are left out.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 09/25/2026The reserve paid the Sparta Community Food Pantry 3,000.00 on 12/15/2023, 12/11/2024 and 12/10/2025, each described as municipal alliance assistance.
The pantry's all-accounts vendor history from 01/01/2018 shows no other payment. The FY2024 report certifies the first 3,000.00 as Community Food Pantry Support, recipient Sparta Municipal Alliance, primary category Wraparound and Connected Care Supports, Schedule B strategy Connections to Care. The FY2025 report certifies the second 3,000.00 under the same program. The FY2026 report certifies the third 3,000.00 as an update to the same program for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. The checks went to the food pantry, not to the alliance. The report says the Township can include a copy of the county quick guides to a common crisis while supporting the pantry. No record shows the pantry serves people with opioid use disorder or people in recovery.
misreported-program · 5 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 227.84 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent in the period 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024.
On 06/30/2024 one order was open on the reserve, purchase order 47655 for storage totes at 72.16, encumbered 05/31/2024 and paid 07/24/2024. No open order makes 227.84.
misreported-encumbrance · 2 documents · 09/25/2026From 04/12/2023 to 03/13/2024 the reserve paid the Passaic County Police Academy 5,155.00 on seven lines, academy tuition for five named recruits and two sets of processing fee, drug testing and CPR charges.
The reports certify it as Basic Police Academy Training, 1,650.00 in FY2023 for new officer training and 3,505.00 in FY2024, where the report says the Township enlisted three new officers for training. On 12/14/2023 one check, 128565, paid 2,750.00 of recruit tuition from the reserve and a 175.00 course from the current fund police training account 01-201-25-240-265. After the window the current fund paid the academy 695.00 of tuition with waiver on 11/13/2024 and 2,510.00 of tuition for one recruit on 05/28/2025. No opioid use disorder content is documented for the recruit academy, and recruit academy training is not among the uses Exhibit E lists. Before 04/2023 the current fund paid the academy only for in-service truck enforcement courses. This project reads the twelve months as the fund carrying an ordinary police cost that the current fund carried after them.
funding-source-substitution · 5 documents · 09/26/2026LEAD Day is the graduation event for the police Law Enforcement Against Drugs class.
The municipal alliance State Share account 02-213-40-703-001 paid for it in 2019, 1,200.00 to the Sparta Fraternal Order of Police for 2019 L.E.A.D. Day, and in 2022, 320.00 of pizza and 175.00 for a dunk tank. From 2023 the reserve paid for it. 5,510.60 in 2023 for shirts, bagels, a dunk tank rental and food. 4,352.35 in 2024 for pizza, ice cream, other card purchases and supplies. 1,592.00 in 2025 for pizza and ice cream. 3,000.00 in 2026 for graduation shirts. The FY2023 report certifies 4,114.60 of the 2023 costs, the shirts, the bagels and the dunk tank, as a program named Law Enforcement Against Drugs under Prevention and Education. In 2026 the Township encumbered 1,150.00 of LEAD Day pizza on the reserve on 05/18/2026, removed it on 06/01/2026 and paid it from the alliance grant account 02-213-40-703-000 on 06/10/2026. The alliance also paid the 2026 ice cream, 500.00. The shirts stayed on the reserve and were paid on 07/21/2026. Event food and apparel are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
funding-source-substitution · 5 documents · 09/25/2026The Center for Prevention and Counseling runs prevention sessions in Sparta schools.
Its all-accounts vendor history shows the municipal alliance State Share account 02-213-40-703-001 paying for Sparta High School sessions in 2022, 2023 and 2024, the last 2,500.00 on 04/24/2024. The reserve then paid for the Sparta High School block, 2,500.00 on 05/14/2025 on purchase order 50427 and 2,500.00 on 06/25/2026 on purchase order 53215. The alliance accounts paid for Sparta Middle School sessions at 3,000.00 on 05/24/2023, 07/10/2024 and 06/25/2025. The reserve paid the same 3,000.00 on 07/21/2026, 1,500.00 for grade 7 and 1,500.00 for grade 8. The State Share account printed an unspent balance of 55,796.84 on 08/28/2026. School prevention is among the uses Exhibit E lists, but settlement money is meant to add to existing spending, not replace it. This project reads the move as replacement.
funding-source-substitution · 5 documents · 09/25/2026The reserve paid Cardio Partners 2,712.14 on 10/09/2024 for DT AEDs per quote Q1073527, Lifesavers 975.00 on 10/24/2024 for a registration for two officers, and Lifesavers 397.60 on 01/13/2026 for instructor manuals, course videos, provider manuals and shipping.
The FY2025 report describes the training as CPR instructors and equipment. The Township's all-accounts history with Lifesavers shows Defibtech AED packages bought from capital accounts, 2,450.40 in 2018, 3,931.00 in 2019 and 11,928.00 in 2023, and AED pads, batteries and data cards bought from current fund accounts from 2018 to 2026. The police training account paid Lifesavers for AHA BLS card processing on 06/25/2025 and 05/04/2026. No overdose program using the AEDs or the CPR training is documented. Defibrillators and CPR training are not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
funding-source-substitution · 4 documents · 09/26/2026On 06/25/2026 check 135648 paid the Center for Prevention and Counseling 12,080.00 on purchase order 53284, 10,550.00 for an HRC vending machine, 600.00 for twelve months of software, 750.00 for freight and 180.00 for cellular service.
The FY2024 report said the Township was looking for a vending machine to hand out naloxone kits, opioid information and fentanyl test strips. Naloxone distribution is a use Exhibit E lists. The vendor history shows no earlier purchase of this kind. The FY2026 report certifies Harm Reduction (Vending Machine), funded 05/20/2026, at 12,369.77 spent, under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention. The 12,080.00 and a 289.77 Home Depot payment for conduit, cables and breakers on 06/25/2026, check 135666, make that figure to the cent. The reserve paid another 278.76 for an electrical part, concrete mix and reinforcing wire on 07/24/2026, after the year closed. No purchase order text ties those materials to the machine.
conforming-spending · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 37,546.45 spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, question 6 on page 1.
The reserve account 03-296-56-000-006 paid 31,428.00 in that window. The certified figure is 6,118.45 higher. It equals the 222,844.54 the report certifies as received since 2022, less the 147,834.91 it certifies as on hand, less the 37,463.18 the FY2023 to FY2025 reports certified as spent. Five of the report's program figures match FY2026 payments to the cent, 28,928.00 in all. The Municipal Alliance and Law Enforcement Against Drugs updates certify 8,618.45 more. The only FY2026 payment left for them is 2,500.00 for Sparta High School sessions. The 6,118.45 equals the 18,043.45 the three earlier reports left out, less 11,925.00 the reserve received in FY2026 that the report does not count as settlement money, 10,000.00 on 10/03/2025 and 1,925.00 on 05/21/2026. The FY2026 spending figure is balance arithmetic, not a count of FY2026 payments.
misreported-expenditure · 6 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report updates the Law Enforcement Against Drugs program with 2,341.00 spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, on page 20.
It says the program reaches a new class of students each year and now reaches private schools. The reserve paid nothing for LEAD in that window. The LEAD Day graduation shirts, 3,000.00 on purchase order 53267, were encumbered on 05/18/2026 and paid on 07/21/2026, after the year closed. The 2,341.00 equals the 12,341.00 of FY2025 payments the FY2025 report left out, less the 10,000.00 the reserve received on 10/03/2025. This project reads the figure as a balancing amount, not a FY2026 payment.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report updates the Municipal Alliance program with 6,277.45 spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, on page 18.
It says the funding was modified to supplement the Peer Rx program and other evidence based programs. In FY2025 the same program was school sessions and a sponsorship paid to the Center for Prevention and Counseling. In FY2026 the reserve paid the Center 2,500.00 for Sparta High School sessions on 06/25/2026, check 135648. Every other FY2026 payment is counted in one of five other program figures, which the payments make to the cent. No payment for Peer Rx appears. The certified figure is 3,777.45 more than the payment. That difference equals the 5,702.45 of FY2023 and FY2024 LEAD Day card charges those reports left out, less the 1,925.00 Sussex County leadership conference reimbursement of 05/21/2026. This project reads that match as inference.
