Here is where the record actually lives. - Author: John Mangini - Tags: Warren 07059, Township, transparency, township committee, meetings The short answer Beginning with the Thursday August 20, 2026 meeting, Warren Township Committee meetings will no longer be livestreamed on Facebook. The township described the change as an effort to streamline its communications. The township's standing meeting notice language cites the township website, the My Warren Township app, and the local Access Channel, broadcast live and taped for rebroadcast. That August 20 meeting is also the public hearing and second reading on Ordinance 26-22, a $1,140,160 appropriation for the Dealaman Nature Trail and Pond. ## The change Committee meetings will not be livestreamed on Facebook as of August 20\. The stated reason is to streamline township communications. An honest caveat on the replacement platforms The announcement itself says meetings will move off Facebook. It does not enumerate where they will be carried instead. The list above, meaning the township website, the My Warren Township app and the local Access Channel, comes from the standing broadcast notice printed on the township's own meeting agendas, most recently the July 16 agenda. That is a reasonable inference about where meetings will be available, but it is an inference from the agenda boilerplate rather than a statement in the announcement. If watching a specific meeting matters to you, confirm the channel before August 20. I could also not verify who made the decision, whether it was a formal action of the Township Committee taken at a meeting, or what the public reaction has been. ## What is on the August 20 agenda Worth stating plainly, because the timing is a fact rather than an accusation: the first Warren Township Committee meeting without a Facebook stream is a meeting with real money on it. **Ordinance 26-22** comes up for public hearing and second reading. It appropriates **$1,140,160** for improvements to the Dealaman Nature Trail and Pond. $1,140,160 Total appropriation $570,080 State matching grant $570,080 Township match from the open space trust Aug 20 Public hearing and second reading The $570,080 grant comes from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Garden State Preservation Trust under Green Acres Project Number 1820-26-009, approved by letter to Mayor Shaun Fine dated June 2, 2026\. The township's matching share comes from the Warren Township Open Space, Recreation, Farmland and Historic Preservation Trust Fund. Ordinance 26-22 was introduced July 16, 2026. ## Where to be, in person Township Committee meetings are held in the **Susie B. Boyce Court Room at 44 Mountain Boulevard**. Not at the temporary administrative offices at 3 Mountainview Road, where township offices have operated since March 2026 following the February 8 sprinkler pipe break at Town Hall. Municipal Court and Police also remain at 44 Mountain Boulevard. Mail still goes to 46 Mountain Boulevard. Public Works is at 1 Bardy Road. Showing up is the only way to be heard on the record during a public hearing. A stream, of any kind, is a way to watch. ## Where the record actually lives A stream is not the record. If you want to know what a governing body did, these are the sources, and they are better than video for most purposes because they are searchable. **The Agenda Center** on warrennj.org carries agendas and, once approved, minutes for the Township Committee, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Board of Health, Environmental Commission and Open Space Committee. Agendas post before a meeting. Minutes post after they are approved at a subsequent meeting. **The adopted ordinance and resolution pages** carry the actual texts. An ordinance number plus that page is the fastest route to what a law says, as against what coverage says it says. **The Ordinances Pending Adoption page** tells you what is coming up for a hearing, which is the only list that lets you act before a vote rather than after. **CivicAlerts**, the township news flash feed, carries announcements. **Nixle**, from Warren Township Police, carries closures, water main breaks, storm advisories and outage notices. It is consistently faster than the township website. Two real gaps in the online record Township Committee minutes for the July 16, 2026 meeting were not posted as of this writing, which means the most recent certified account of what the Committee did was June 18\. Minutes lag by design, because they are approved at a later meeting, but the gap is worth knowing when you are trying to check something recent. Separately, the township's News Flash archive does not retain older posts. Alerts from earlier in 2026, including those issued during the July storm and outage period, are no longer retrievable from the township site. If you need a copy of a township announcement, save it when you see it. ## My read Facebook is a poor system of record. It is not searchable in any useful way, it is not archival, and access depends on a company that has nothing to do with Warren. Moving municipal video to township controlled channels and a public access channel is, on the merits, an improvement in durability. The cost is reach. Facebook is where a share of residents already are, and a platform people already open is a real accessibility feature even when it is a bad archive. Every switch of this kind trades incidental audience for control. The thing that would settle it is confirmation of exactly where the August 20 meeting will be carried and whether a recording will be posted afterward. That has not been published, and it is the question I would put to the township before Thursday. Sources 1. TAPinto Warren, Warren Township Committee Meeting Streams Moving Off Facebook Aug. 20\.
