INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: February 2, 2023
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human ILO
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$7,263.91 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Vehicle #2088
Nature of the request: On November 27, 2022, Police Vehicle #2088 (2016 Chevrolet
Tahoe)was damaged when the operator was involved in an accident.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a $2,500.00 deductible.
TML has offered the City a settlement of$7,263.91, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer $4,763.91 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damages for Vehicle #2088. If additional damages are discovered, TMLIRP
may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 22704 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2088
(2016 Chevrolet Tahoe). TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $7,263.91, less the
$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $4,763.91. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the General Fund
Insurance Proceeds Account#001-00-00-4744-00-00-000, HINGF.
"Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur."
