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$9,142.15 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Trash Truck#1918
Nature of the request: On April 3, 2017, Trash Vehicle #1918 (2012 Hino Truck) was
damaged when the driver failed to secure the boom when exiting the landfill.
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$11,642.15, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $9,142.15 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages for Vehicle #1918. If additional damages are discovered, TML may
issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 19773 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Trash Vehicle #1918 (2012
Hino Truck). TML has offered to settle the claim for $11,642.15, less the $2,500.00 deductible,
making the final settlement offer$9,142.15. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Bud'et Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Solid Waste -
Equipment Account #403-1271-533.92-00.
