RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$178,488.32 for
Police Department Equipment Damaged During Hurricane Harvey(August 30, 2017)
Nature of the request: On August 30, 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck the City of Port
Arthur resulting in flood damage to police department equipment.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Automobile Physical Damage insurance
coverage through Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML). TML has
offered the City a settlement of $178,488.32 (see Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is
sufficient to cover all estimated property damages and replacement equipment. If additional
damages are discovered, TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 20394 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Police Department equipment.
TML has offered to settle the claim for $178,488.32. 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.
