Public Safety Committee unanimously approves three‑year jail medical contract with Dr. Marshall Trebot
Summary
The Tompkins County Public Safety Committee approved a three‑year personal‑services contract (ID 13742) with Dr. Marshall Trebot to provide medical services at the county jail. The motion was moved by Lee, seconded by Shauna, and passed unanimously.
The Tompkins County Public Safety Committee on Dec. 9 approved a three‑year contract (ID 13742) authorizing the sheriff to continue a personal‑services agreement with Dr. Marshall Trebot to provide medical care for people incarcerated in the county correctional facility.
Chair Rich introduced the resolution and Legislator Lee moved the motion, which Shauna seconded. The sheriff described the contract as a routine continuation: “This is pretty routine... we contract for medical physician for our incarcerated folks in our correctional facility and this is just a continuation of his contract with us,” he said. Committee member Shauna asked whether the contract specifies on‑site hours and whether the county issued a request for proposals. The sheriff said the physician typically has a minimum on‑site presence (about six hours), is reachable by phone 24/7 and that the county did not run an RFP because physicians for these assignments are difficult to find.
The committee voted and the chair announced the result was unanimous.
The contract is a personal‑services agreement; committee members noted that personal‑services contracts can be executed without a competitive RFP in certain staffing circumstances. No additional procurement details or contractor compensation amounts were specified in committee discussion.
The committee moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
