INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: August 23, 2025
To: Ronald Burton, CPM, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Assistant Director of Human Resources
RE: Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Execute The Settlement Of A Claim In The
Amount of $29,946.00 Made Against Texas Municipal League — Intergovernmental Risk
Pool (TML-IRP) As A Result Of Damage to Pleasure Island Cameras (December 6, 2024)
Nature of the request: On December 6, 2024, a citizen struck a pole that houses cameras
belonging to the Pleasure Island Department.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Property Damage insurance coverage through
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML-IRP) with a $5,000.00 deductible.
TML-IRP has offered the City of Port Arthur a settlement of $29,946.00, less the $5,000.00
deductible making the final settlement offer $24,946.00 (Exhibit "A" attached). If additional
damages are discovered, TML-IRP may issue a supplemental payment.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 24382 authorizing the
property damage settlement against Texas Municipal League — Intergovernmental Risk Pool
(TML-IRP) for the damage to the cameras belonging to the Pleasure Island Department. TML-
IRP has offered to settle the claim for $29,946.00 less the $2,500 deductible making the final
settlement amount to be $24,946.00. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement for the
estimated repairs. The TMLIRP Subrogation Department now has this claim to attempt recovery
from the responsible party and/or their insurance carrier.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the Account No. 001-00-
000-4748-00-00-000, Project No. MCLR.
"Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur."
