INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: August 10, 2018
To: Harvey L. Robinson, Interim City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Safety& Risk a it-,;,
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$5,574.92 for
Damages to Contents in Library Storage Building
Nature of the request: On August 30, Hurricane Harvey struck the City of Port Arthur,
resulting in flood damage to contents in a storage building at the Port Arthur Public Library
(4615 9th Avenue).
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML) with a $1,000.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$5,574.92, less the $1,000.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $4,574.92 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages to the contents in the storage building. If additional damages are
discovered, TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 20397 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to the contents in the storage
building at the Port Arthur Public Library. TML has offered to settle the claim for $5,574.92,
less the $1,000.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $4,574.92. This is considered a
fair and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the General Fund
Insurance Proceeds Account#001-0000-369.85-00.

Harvey damage to contents at ID 502 — storage bldg. @ Library
Dear Monique:
Please find enclosed payment for actual cash value damage to contents in the small storage
building located at the Library. If you all elect to replace these items, I'll need the invoices to
document that you all spent in excess of the payment after the $1,000 deductible is applied.
Please don't hesitate to give me a call at extension 2412 should you have any questions.
