INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: January 25, 2021
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Res s
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$8,513.03 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Vehicle#2260
Nature of the request: On May 16, 2020, an intoxicated citizen failed to control their
speed striking the City of Port Arthur's parked police unit.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a $2,500.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$8,513.03, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $6,013.03 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages for Vehicle #2260. If additional damages are discovered, TMLIRP
may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21777 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2260
(2017 Ford patrol Interceptor). TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $8,513.03, less the
$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $6,013.03. 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.
