NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the prem-
ises and of the covenants and conditions hereinafter

1. 1. The Jailer of the County Jail Facility
in which any prisoner of the City of Temple City
shall be located may transfer or cause to be trans-
ferred from the City Jail to the jail ward of the
General Hospital of the County any and all persons
confined in the jail of said City who may be in need
of medical or surgical treatment necessitating hos-
pitalization and in- patient treatment. Such trans-
fers shall be made pursuant to an order of the Super-
ior Court for the removal of such prisoners from the
jail of said City to the County Hospital. In the
event that any such prisoner is in need of immediate
medical or hospital care and the health and welfare
of the prisoner will be injuriously affected unless
he is forthwith removed to a hospital, the jailer of
said City may authorize the immediate removal of the
2

prisoner under guard to the County Hospital without
first obtaining a court order. In any such case if
the condition of the prisoner prevernts his return
to the City Jail within forty -eight (48) hours from
the time of his removal, the jailer of said City
shall apply to a judge of the Superior Court for an
order authorizing the continued absence of the
prisoner from the City Jail.
2. The County agrees to accept such in-
patient prisoners pursuant to orders of the Super-
ior Court and in emergency cases pending application
for Superior Court order within forty -eight (48)
hours by the jailer of the City, and to confine them
to the jail ward of its General Hospital and to ren-
der to such in- patient prisoners whatever medical
care or surgical treatment and hospital care may be
necessary, provided, however, that in each instance
where in the opinion of the attending physicial
temporary confinement elsewhere in the County Hos-
pital is essential for the health and welfare of
an in- patient prisoner, the prisoner may be so con-
fined temporarily in the custody of the Sheriff
upon the authorization of the Director of the hos-
pital or his authorized representative.
3. The City will pay the County for all med,i-
3
213
cal, surgical and hospital services furnished such
in- patients at the rate per person per day which is
determined from time to time by the Board of Super-
visors, based upon the cost of furnishing such medi-
cal, surgical and hospital care.
4. The City will pay the County for all medi-
cal, surgical and hospital services furnished to pri-
soners transferred to the County Hospital from County
Jail when such prisoners are charged with or convicted
of violation of a City ordinance of said City and held
in the County Jail pursuant to a contract between the
County and the City.
5. Claims for all such medical, surgical and
hospital services shall be rendered monthly by the
County to the City and the City agrees to pay such
claims within thirty (30) days from the date of re-
ceipt thereof.

parties hereto may cancel and terminate this agreement
