Discussion with possible action to purchase thirty (30) pin pads for county departments at a cost of $195 per unit from Hubwallet at an amount not to exceed $5,850, with further discussion and possible action to reduce the surcharge fee (processing fee) currently set at 3% to 1.50%; and any other matters incident thereto.  [Account #1001-1130-001-431007-010 – Operational Reserve]
 
Issue: The VL 100 pin pads currently used in county departments are outdated, no longer under warranty, and non-compliant with the vendor. If pin pads were to stop functioning they cannot be repaired and/or replaced.
 
Solution: Upgrading to the VL300 pin pads will allow the units to be complaint and under warranty with the vendor.
 
Result: All county departments will have updated equipment under warranty to better serve Webb County constituents.
