Texas
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Ronald Burton, CPM, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resource
RE: Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Execute The Settlement Of A Claim In The
Amount of $7,463.45 Made Against Various Insurance Carriers Through USI Southwest,
Inc. As A Result Of Windstorm Damage To Multiple City Owned Buildings (April 10,
2024)
Nature of the request: On April 10, 2024, a wind related occurrence damaged the
multiple City owned buildings. During the event, high winds and rain damaged multiple
building locations throughout the City. The damage included some windows, ceiling tiles, park
dugouts, signs, fencing and offices (itemized statement of loss attached).
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has windstorm insurance through USI Southwest,
Inc., for which a claim was filed for said damages through its subsidiary layered carriers (RSUI
(50%), Underwriters of Lloyd's of London (25%) and RLI/Mt. Hawley Insurance Company
(25%). The deductible for such an event is $25,000. RLI/Mt. Hawley Insurance Company has
offered to settle the claim for $7,463.45, which has been determined to be a fair and reasonable
settlement. The City is also eligible for recoverable depreciation in the amount of$5,234.59 with
proper submission of documentation to the insurance carrier. The other two companies' claims
are still pending settlement offers.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 24042 authorizing the
property damage settlement against USI Southwest Inc., and its layered carriers for wind-related
damages to the multiple buildings owned by the City of Port Arthur. USI Southwest, Inc. has
offered to settle the claim for$7,463.45. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Insurance Proceeds
Account#HINGF (General Fund for Insurance Proceeds).
"Remember we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur."
