The final say on what sites will receive Google Fiber service through the Community Connections program has been postponed until December after several council members asked to take a closer look at the tentative list.

"The list is quite lengthy, and I just have not had time to look it over," Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell said.

Austin City Council approved the postponement at its Nov. 21 meeting and will take up the item again Dec. 12.

Google Fiber is an Internet network with speeds up to one gigabit per second. The speed of Google Fiber is up to 100 times faster than existing Internet access available in Austin homes, according to the council resolution.

All Austin ISD high school campuses are included as potential sites to receive Google Fiber. Other proposed sites to receive the high-speed Internet service include The Long Center for the Performing Arts, the African American Cultural Heritage Facility, The Arc of the Capital Area and numerous branches of the Austin Public Library.

"We adopted a resolution that said, 'We want to make sure we have the organization geographically dispersed as well as addressing and targeting and serving many different components of our community,'" Councilwoman Laura Morrison said.

City staff also wants to include a diverse selection of organization types, Morrison said, including those related to education, arts and social services.

Google has agreed to provide its Internet service to Austin City Hall, the new Central Library and 100 other sites in Austin until 2023. City officials said they had more than 300 applicants ask to be included in the Community Connections program.

Morrison said the council has the discretion to modify the potential list of sites.

"If someone wants to start all over, that's fine, or if people are interested in adding a particular organization, just remember that we have a limit of 100, so you might also want to make a suggestion of what to take off," she said.
