To: Ron Burton, City Manager

RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$397,904.22 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Pump Stations
Nature of the request: On August 30, 2017, pump stations throughout the City of Port
Arthur sustained damages as a direct result of Hurricane Harvey.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML). TML has offered the City a
settlement of$397,904.22 for the damages sustained to the pump stations (Exhibit"A" attached).
If additional damages are discovered, TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21234 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to various pump stations
throughout the City of Port Arthur due to Hurricane Harvey. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Hurricane
Harvey/Insurance Proceeds account, #147-0000-369.85-00, Project#082617.
