INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: May 20 ,2022
To: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resources
RE: An Ordinance Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$31,237.00 for
Damage of City of Port Arthur Police Unit#2212
Nature of the request: On April 6, 2022, the operator of Police Unit 2212 lost control of
the vehicle and struck a light pole, causing damage to a parked vehicle in the area.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Automobile Physical Damage insurance
coverage through Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a
$2,500.00 deductible. TMLIRP has offered the City a settlement of $31,237.00, less the
$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $28,737.00 (Exhibit "A" attached). This
amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damage for the unit. If additional damages
are discovered, TMLIRP may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 7067 authorizing the
automobile damage settlement against TMLIRP for the automobile physical damage to Police
Unit 2212. TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $31.237.00. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement for the estimated repairs.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Insurance Proceeds
Account#001-00-000-4744-00-00-000, HINGF.
