INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: November 9, 2017
To: Brian McDougal, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Safety & Risk Management Coordinat
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$58,758.01 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Fire Ladder Truck#1590
Nature of the request: On August 30, 2017, Fire Vehicle #1590 (2006 Pierce Ladder
Truck), sustained damages during the flooding from Hurricane Harvey.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Automobile 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$58,758.01, less the $2,500.00 deductible,
making the final settlement offer $56,258.01 (Exhibit"A" attached). This amount is sufficient to
cover all estimated property damages for Vehicle #1897. If additional damages are discovered,
TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 19984 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Fire Vehicle #1590 (2006
Pierce Ladder Truck). TML has offered to settle the claim for $58,758.01, less the $2,500.00
deductible, making the final settlement offer $56,258.01. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Insurance Proceeds
Account#147-0000-369.85-00, Project#082617.
