INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: July 13, 2022
To: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Re
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$18,895.00 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Water Utilities Unit#2101 (2015 Ford F-150)
Nature of the request: On January 27, 2022, the unit was involved in a motor vehicle
accident.
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 of Port Arthur a settlement of$18,985.00,
less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $16,485.00 (Exhibit "A"
attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damages for Vehicle #2101.
If additional damages are discovered, TMLIRP may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 22669 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Water Purification Unit
#2101 (2016 Ford F-150). TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $16,485.00. 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.
