INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: September 14, 2020
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resou'e
RE: A Resolution Approving a Settlement in the Amount of$5,050.00 Against Texas Municipal
League(TML) for Flood related Damages to the Armory Building(3451 57th Street)
Nature of the request: On August 30, 2017, the Armory building's water heater (3451
57th Street), sustained damages during the flooding from Hurricane Harvey.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Flood insurance coverage through Texas
Municipal League (TML). Texas Municipal League (TML) has offered the City a settlement of
$5,050.00, the deductible for said property has already been met, making the final settlement
offer $5,050.00. This amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damages for the
Armory building (3451 57th Street). If additional damages are discovered, Texas Municipal
League (TM L)may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21535 authorizing the
property damage settlement against Texas Municipal League (TML) for damage sustained to the
Armory building's water heater (3451 57th Street). Texas Municipal League (TML) has offered
to settle the claim for $5,050.00, the deductible for said property was already met, making the
final settlement offer$5,050.00. 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.
