RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$18,050.00 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Department Unit#2233
Nature of the request:
On January 16, 2022, City of Port Arthur employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident on FM 365.
Staff Analysis, Consideration:
City has Automobile Physical Damage insurance coverage through Texas Municipal League
Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML-IRP)with a $2,500.00 deductible. TML-IRP has offered the City of Port
Arthur a settlement of$18,050.00 less the$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer$15,550.00
(Exhibit "A" attached) which is considered a fair and reasonable settlement for Unit #2223. If additional
damages are discovered,TML-IRP may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation:
I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 22457 authorizing the property damage settlement
against TML-IRP for damage sustained to Police Department unit#2233 (2017 Ford Taurus). TML-IRP has
offered to settle the claim for $18,050.00, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer
$15,550.00. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations:
