INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: November 20, 2024
To: Ron Burton, CPM, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Resources
RE: A Resolution Approving a Physical Damage Settlement in the Amount of $6,457.76 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Unit#2263 (2017 Ford Taurus)
Nature of the request: On September 10, 2024, the unit was traveling southbound in the
inside lane when the vehicle in front of it abruptly swerved to the outside lane. The driver of unit
observed a large object in the roadway and due to traffic conditions was unable to take evasive
measures to change lanes to avoid said object. The obstruction was determined to be a large
brake drum that struck the transmission of the unit causing a large hole in the housing of the
transmission.
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$6,457.76, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the
final settlement offer$3,957.76 (Exhibit"A" attached).
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 24046 authorizing the
physical damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2263
(2017 Ford Taurus). TML has offered to settle the claim for $6,457.76, less the $2,500.00
deductible, making the final settlement offer $3,957.76. This is considered a fair and reasonable
settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the general fund
account, HINGF.
"Remember we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur."
