INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

Date: June 15, 2021
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of HumanLcsf(0
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$24,436.24 for
Damages to the Pleasure Island Welcome Signage
Nature of the request: On November 22, 2020, the Pleasure Island welcome signage was
damaged by a citizen involved in a motor vehicle accident.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a $5,000.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$24,436.24, less the $5,000.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $19,436.24 (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. 21989 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to the Pleasure Island
welcome signage. TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $24,436.24, less the $5,000.00
deductible, making the final settlement offer $19,436.24. 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 General FD 001.
