INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: June 15, 2021
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Re
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$7,677.19 for
Damages to the Port Arthur Public Library Pipes
Nature of the request: On February 15, 2021, the City of Port Arthur experienced a
winter freeze causing damage to the pipes at the Port Arthur Public Library.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a $5,000.00 deductible.
The deductible was taken out of the initial insurance proceeds check and did not apply to this
settlement. TML has offered the City a settlement of $7,677.19 (Exhibit "A" attached). This
amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damages for the signage. If additional
damages are discovered, TMLIRP may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21987 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to the pipes at the Port Arthur
Public Library. TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $7,677.19. This is considered a fair
and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the General Fund
Insurance Proceeds Account#158-07-015-5312-00-40-000.
