Date: May 20, 2022
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Reso
RE: An Ordinance Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$10,132.13 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Transit Unit#1525 (2004 1-Ton Transit Service Unit)
Nature of the request: On January 4, 2022, a City of Port Arthur Transit service vehicle
(2004 1-Ton Transit Service Unit), was damaged when a citizen struck it.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: A claim was filed with the citizen's insurance company,
Allstate, offering a settlement in the amount of $10,132.13 for the covered damages. This
amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damages for Unit #1525. If additional
damages are discovered, TML may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 7068 authorizing the
property damage settlement against Allstate for damage sustained to Transit unit #1525 (2004
Transit Service Unit). Allstate has offered to settle the claim for $10,132.13. 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.
