Even the city’s logo Brahman bull has voiced his enthusiasm for ultra highspeed Internet, mooing a long “Goooogle!” at the end of Kissimmee’s video application to the Internet company, which is soliciting interest from cities across the nation for its experimental Fiber for Communities project.

On Tuesday, city officials unveiled the video, which they hope makes Kissimmee stand out among the hundreds nationwide who have expressed interest being a test city for the Internet project.

Topeka, Kan., changed its name to Google for a month as residents voiced their interest in the service, which is advertised to deliver speeds of 1 gigabit per second, 100 times faster than what most Americans currently use.

The presentation Tuesday night was broadcast live with the support of community leaders and local children in the audience. Residents were encouraged to visit www.googleforkissimmee.

com, which the city set up to drum up support. Those who want to show their support can nominate Kissimmee on the project’s site and view the city’s video application on YouTube.com.

Google is accepting nominations through Friday. City officials said they hope to have at least 1,000 views of the YouTube video by then.

The video itself showed all five commissioners and the city manager at various points around the city, advocating for Kissimmee’s qualifications and attributes, including its hospitals, higher education facilities and Kissimmee Utility Authority’s existing utility infrastructure.

Commissioner Cheryl Grieb stood on a bus and talked about the upcoming construction of the commuter rail while Commissioner Carlos Irizarry gave his speech on Kissimmee’s tourism merits in front of cheering knights from Medieval Times. Commissioner Jerry Gemskie typed on a laptop as he sat in a canoe on Shingle Creek with his wife. Commissioner Art Otero spoke for the airport and Swan posed in front of the Lake Tohopekaliga lighthouse with his baby granddaughter.

The commission workshop followed the presentation. Several residents stuck around to hear what the commissioners would say about establishing policy on commercial airboaters launching from the city’s Lakefront Park.

The city recently regained control of the boat ramps on Lake Toho as a 20-year lease agreement with the Florida Wildlife Commission expired in 2009. Before, it could not address complaints about commercial airboaters’ use of the ramp facilities.

Per commission direction, city staff will draft a request for qualification to commercial boaters interested in using the ramps. Specifics of who will use the ramps and how they will be established will be discussed at an upcoming meeting with public input.

Commissioners also reviewed a proposed ordinance establishing minimum maintenance standards for commercial properties. Commissioners suggested several minor changes to the ordinance, which will be presented in upcoming public hearings.
