From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human 4,-W)
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$5,219.03 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Vehicle#2084
Nature of the request: On August 26, Police Vehicle #2084 (2016 Chevrolet Tahoe) was
damaged when the operator was involved in an accident in a parking lot.
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$5,219.03, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $2,719.03 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages for Vehicle #2084. If additional damages are discovered, TMLIRP
may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 21988 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2084
(2016 Chevrolet Tahoe). TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $5,219.03, less the
$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $2,719.03. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the General Fund
Insurance Proceeds Account#625-00-000-4744-00-00-000, HR— Ins Proceeds Capital Reser FD
625.
