    Town Commission meetings and other Highland Beach meetings, usually broadcast on TV, will not be available on the town’s public access television channel for about six months while Town Hall renovations are underway. 

    An $850,000 renovation project is expected to begin this month and continue for about six months. During that time, meetings usually televised live on Comcast Channel 99, will only be available online at the town’s website or on a disk available at town hall. 

    The interruption, said Town Manager Kathleen Weiser, is due to the need to disconnect and cap cable lines into Town Hall during the construction.

    Residents wishing to view Town Commission and other town meetings can visit www.ci.highland-beach.fl.us and click on “media archives” on the right-hand rail.  

    There, they’ll be able to find video of the most recent meetings as well as archives of previous meetings. Video of most meetings will be available online within 24 hours. 

    Funds for the renovations, designed to provide additional space for the town’s Police Department and to connect two separate town buildings under one roof for easier access, were approved last year in the 2013-2014 budget.
