Case Study: Township of Teaneck achieves streamlined meeting management and saves time and money with Accela Agenda & Minutes

Teaneck, New Jersey, Saves Time and Money with Streamlined Meeting Management

Teaneck Township, a Bergen County community of about 39,800 residents, faced a slow, paper-based agenda process that took a full week to assemble, required bulky hard-copy packets and pre-punched resolution paper, and offered limited transparency and control over legal and administrative review. Township Clerk Jaime Evelina sought a more organized, efficient way to give residents immediate access to council decisions and reduce staff burden.

Teaneck implemented Accela Agenda and Minutes with Accela Civic Streaming, giving staff 24/7 access, real-time edits, one-click agenda-to-minutes conversion and time-stamped web broadcasts. The change reduced agenda preparation to a few clicks, saved staff time, eliminated annual purchases of thousands of sheets of resolution paper and recordable DVDs, cut citizen information requests, and improved public transparency and access to meetings.
