RE: An Ordinance Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$15,727.76 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Unit #2222
Nature of the request: On October 1, 2024, the operator of Police Unit #2222 (2018
Chevrolet City Express van) was in the left turn designated lane of US-69 South preparing to
turn left across the northbound lanes of traffic when a citizen failed to yield the right of way
turning left and began to drive across the northbound lanes striking Police Unit#2222.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City filed a claim with Progressive Insurance offering
the City of Port Arthur a settlement of$15,727.76 (Exhibit "A" attached) which is considered a
fair and reasonable settlement for Police Unit#2222.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 7328 authorizing the
property damage settlement against Progressive Insurance for damage sustained to Police Unit
#2222 (2018 Chevrolet City Express van). Progressive Insurance has offered to settle the claim
for $15,727.76 as a final settlement offer. Progressive has deemed the unit to be a total loss. This
is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Bucket Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Insurance Proceeds
Project#HINGF.
