INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: April 12, 2024
To: Ron Burton, CPM, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Res
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$8,286.00 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Drainage Unit#2128
Nature of the request: On October 17, 2023, the operator of Drainage Unit #2419 backed
into Drainage Unit #2128 (2017 Ford F-750 Dump Truck) causing body damage to the latter
unit.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has 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$8,286.00, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making
the final settlement offer $5,786.00 (Exhibit"A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all
estimated property damage for Vehicle #1918. If additional damage is discovered, TMLIRP
may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 23712 authorizing the
property damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Drainage Unit #2128
(2017 Ford F-750 Dump Truck). TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $8,286.00, less the
$2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer $5,786.00. This is considered a fair and
reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the insurance general
fund account,HINGF).
