After a discussion on how they could attract Google’s community-based, ultra-high-speed test project to Kissimmee, city commissioners agreed to lessen the amount of times they will meet per month.

The meeting Tuesday was short, with only five items on the agenda for the commissioners’ consideration, taking less than 15 minutes to work through. City Manager Mark Durbin explained the city’s attempt to attract Google’s attention for consideration in its “Fiber for Communities” project.

The Internet company recently publicized a request for information for communities interested in partnering with it on the new project, in which it would install an experimental high speed broadband network in one or more trial locations across the country. According to Google’s Web site on the topic, the network would deliver Internet at a speed “100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today,” at more than 1 gigabit per second.

The city staff already has prepared a video advertising the attributes of Kissimmee to submit to Google. The video will be unveiled before the commission meeting Tuesday at 5:15 p.m., an event the city hopes to have the community attend to show their support for the project.

Durbin said after the meeting that he thinks Kissimmee has a chance if Google decides to install the experimental broadband at several cities with varying populations. Kissimmee might have less of a chance going up directly against other cities interested in Google’s proposal, including Seattle, Austin, Texas, and Topeka, Kan., which was renamed “Google, Kan.” in honor of the project.

Before adjourning the short meeting, Mayor Jim Swan made a suggestion.

“It seems to me like we could get by with fewer meetings each month than we do,” he said.

Other commissioners a-greed, eventually deciding to hold meetings on the first and third Tuesday of the month. If the ordinance passes after two public hearings, the commission could hold extra meetings during the month should an emergency arise. Discussions usually reserved for workshops, currently held on the fourth Tuesday of each month, could be absorbed into normal meetings, Durbin said.
