If additional damages are discovered, TML may issue a supplemental payment. Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 6709 authorizing the property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #1753 (2009 Ford Crown Victoria). TML has offered to settle the claim for $3,913.00, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $1,413.00. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
