To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
. t
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resources
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$7,787.00 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Parks Unit#1865
Nature of the request: On August 11, 2021, the above unit (2010 Ford Expedition) was
involved in a motor vehicle accident attempting to avoid a collision with a speeding 18-wheeler
truck on Hwy 73.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML) with a $2,500.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$7,787.00, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $5,287.00 (Exhibit "A" attached). If additional damages are discovered,
TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 6999 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TML for damage sustained to Parks Unit #1865 (2010 Ford
Expedition). TML has offered to settle the claim for $7,787.00, less the $2,500.00 deductible,
making the final settlement offer$5,287.00. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Budiet Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the HR — Insurance
Proceeds General Fund account, #001-00-000-4744-00-00-000, HINGF.
