INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: May 30, 2017
To: Brian McDougal, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Interim Safety & Risk Management Coordinator
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$10,284.68 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Vehicle#2091
Nature of the request: On April 19, 2017, Police Vehicle #2091 was damaged when it
was struck by a citizen who failed to stop at a stop sign.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML) with a $2,500.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$12,784.68, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
fmal settlement offer $10, 284.68 (Exhibit "A” attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages for Vehicle #2091. If additional damages are discovered, TML may
issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 19799 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2091 (2016
Chevy Tahoe). TML has offered to settle the claim for $12,784.68, less the $2,500.00
deductible, making the final settlement offer $10,284.68. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Police Department
Motor Vehicle Maintenance Account#001-1101-521.53-00.
