Issue: Webb County currently contracts DIR (Department of Information Resources) to provide wireless service through AT&T and Verizon. The DIR contract the County is on has expired. A new DIR Contract is available for the County to utilize. The wireless plans on the new DIR Contract offer additional cost savings from the old plans.

Solution: Authorize the use of the new DIR contract and wireless plans, and switch county employees from old plans to new plans.

Result: Cost savings to Webb County, Purchasing Efficiency, Compliance of the Law.
