Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the purchase of one (1) Williams Sound SYS3 Transmitter System for Translation to include 3 headphones, 1 single ear piece, IR Transmitter, power supplies, charging station and installation for an amount not to exceed $4,000.00 for the 49th District Court and in accordance with the Webb County Purchasing rules and regulations.

Issue: The 49th District Court audio/Visual system was recently upgraded. The translation system for Court use was not included on the specifications for the formal bid. The original system is not compatible with the new system and was sold as surplus property.

Solution: Authorize the Purchasing Agent to use Bond money specific to this project to purchase a translator compatible with new audio/visual system.

Result: New equipment will provide the necessary tools to help with translation during Court proceedings.
