Butts, approved a two-year agreement with Vital Medical Services to provide non-emergency, on-call services at the Inglewood Police Department jail facility. The contract was approved in the amount of $75,000 and with a one-year extension option. “In-custody prisoners occasionally require non-emergency medical treatment,” states the staff report signed by Inglewood Chief of Police Mark Fronterotta. “For this reason the Police Department must have an agreement with a medical facility to provide services when requested.” The agreement with Vital Medical Services was needed and approved in order to ensure that service times be reduced during nonemergency medical situations. Based on the staff report, non-emergency situations include but are not limited to: asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, bruises/abrasions, simple fractures and even pregnancy. When a detainee is suffering from a more serious condition and is in need of urgent care the police department will refer to person to Centinela Hospital. “Currently, any prisoner that requires medical clearance must be taken to a medical facility for treatment,” states the staff report. “As a result, officers are placed out of service for an extended period of time while they await a doctor.” Based on the agreement Vital Medical Services will send a qualified medical professional when they receive a call for service. The professional will conduct a medical examination at the jail facility and determine if the patient is in a condition to receive medical clearance or in need of additional treatment. “It should be noted that the Department previously used their service under a short term agreement,” states the staff report. “In addition to providing above satisfactory service, a significant reduction in out of service time related to medical clearances was observed.” Council Approves Two-Year Agreement For Landscaping Services A two-year agreement, with the option to extend twice in two-year increments, was approved with BrightView Landscape Services in the amount of $300,000 to be paid for by the city’s general fund.
