INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: October 15, 2019
To: Ron Burton, Interim City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resources
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$30,565.00 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Traffic Signal Repairs
Nature of the request: On August 30, 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck the City of Port
Arthur, resulting in flood damage to the majority of the City. The storm also caused damage to
other equipment and property such as the traffic signals.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML) with a $5,189.00 deductible (1%).
TML has offered the City a settlement of$30,565.00, less the $5,189.00 deductible, making the
fmal settlement offer $25,376.00 (Exhibit "A" attached). If additional damages are discovered,
TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21122 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to the traffic signals. TML has
offered to settle the claim for $30,565.00, less the $5,189.00, making the final settlement offer
$25,376.00. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Hurricane Harvey
Account#147-0000.369.85-00,Project No. 082617.
