him. >>Male Speaker: good morning, everybody. I'm oliver gilber, vice chair of the board of county commissioners. Our chairperson josc diaz has been a bit delayed, so most of the presentation. As you all know before county commission meetings, we take just a short period of time to recognize milestones in our temporal line, our timeline, but we also recognize extraordinary people and groups are doing great things. So with that said, our first presentation is for., then it will bring out commissioner eileen hagans to kick us off. Thank you. >>Female Speaker: thank you, MR. Vesteer. Good morning, everybody! Right, that was lame. Good morning, everybody! Great to be here during JUNE which is pride month. And we've already celebrated wonderful moments this month with so many members of our community, and the one thing we have not yet done is make sure we do it on a more official basis right here in the chambers of miami-dade county commission, because when we do something here, sometimes our other events are more fun and are in a better environment and are outside and a few more celebratory. But here, they are more symbolic, because this is where we work on behalf of the people of miami-dade county. So thank you to everyone who came. I will turn it to our madam mayor is also I guess chief equality officer during the month of JUNE. Let me just -- I'm going to give her a little promotion. ANYWAYb [Applause] >>Female Speaker: you can make that official by two new citizen referendum and getting in the charter! A little challenge to you. Well, very, very proud to stand before you as your first woman mayor and the mayor that definitely honors the quality and equity every single day. So here I am with my two wonderful colleagues and of course commissioner higgins who sponsored, yeah. Why didn't we have an advisory board for lgbtq+ community before? What was with that? She saw the opportunity, she made it happen. Very, very much. Today we want to do honor officially, as MADAM Commissioner said. So, yes, it is pride month. We blew the pride flight, today we go through the progress flag and joined by commissioner MADAME Cohen higgins, not related to me or to higgins, but just saying.

Going to be inviting you up in a minute have individual recognitions as well. I also want to acknowledge the director of the first ever office of equity and inclusion, and that is jason smith. Jason? [Applause] Send it up you know, jason figured out the logistics of flag raising, so we are very -- [Laughter] Right? A little challenging. So we also are here to acknowledge milestones that have occurred on behalf of the quality in our community, but we also know that we still must continue the fight. There is still so much more to be done until everybody, everybody, feels protected, everybody feels safe, everybody feels free to love who they love, to live as they wish, and that is what pride month is all about, and that's why we are having today's recognition. So we will continue the fight, we will do it together with the wonderful organizations that are here, local organizations, statewide organizations, all flying the flag for equality. And we have quite a few that we are going to recognize that have contributed to the fight. So shall we invite them up one by one? >>Female Speaker: with the advisory board? >>Female Speaker: let's do that. >>Female Speaker: anybody serving on the lgbtq advisory board, come on down.

And so, the students at miami new orleans senior high school won the aspen challenge. [Applause] Progress gruters over property, MADAM Mayor. So it's not something we are unfamiliar with on the dais.

Let's go, GOD, our father today, of yesterday, today and tomorrow, GOD, and were father, today and tomorrow, plus is a keep -- make us good leaders of the people in your resources.

A little thing like partitions can mess everybody up. I thought it was going to be a nice present. But, wow! Okay. MADAM Attorney. >>Female Speaker: good morning . >>Male Speaker: welcome, you guys. Let's start with the citizens presentation. I think we have commissioner martinez. >>Male Speaker: thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN. If I please call up from 9-1-1, a product that was brought up to my attention is a former law enforcement. And it is something that I really enjoyed and I think you guys will find this five-minute presentation very eye-opening. It will save the lives of our police officers, it will give them more information, and I think it would also ensure the safety of our citizens in certain situations. so I leave it up to them. Thank you, go ahead. >>Male Speaker: thank you. A moment, please state your name and address for the record. >>Male Speaker: yes. My name is chad liberty from bangor, maine, and our company carbine is located in new york city. >>Male Speaker: chris carol from denver, colorado. >>Male Speaker: proceed, you five minutes. >>Female Speaker: thank you, MADAM Aaron commissioner, the rest of the commission for allowing us to present today. What carbine is able to deliver is one of the most unique and advanced 9-1-1 technologies that the country actually has to offer today. What we are able to actually do is provide complete transparency and trust amongst all of the citizens to be able to be able to equally report any type of emergencies that they MAY have, basically leveling the playing field. So when 9-1-1 receives a call, you are going to see on the screen here a little ball or widget. This is actually our platform in a collapsed state. So when the 9-1-1 call is received by the 9-1-1's center, our technology immediately grabs the devices location services. As you can see on the screen, a 9-1-1 call is placed, and this green dot you are seeing right here is the actual location of that collar's device. In this case, chris is our collar today. the call takers can go ahead and drill right down into the location of that collar. Now, the other piece that we are able to instantly provide into the 9-1-1 center is the transparency of actually what's going on. So, one, we can provide a better response for your responders, we can either scale it down, scale up depending on what they are seeing, and also create a level of responder safety as they go to the scene. You will see here, where the citizen is actually -- >>Male Speaker: MR. Germek, and I in iraq for a second? >>Male Speaker: go ahead. Because I think you lost everybody. Let me just tell you: parkland shooting, with the system, when those kids started calling 9-1-1, they were sent a signal that said press this link and automatically it is a camera. That is what the system does. It gives them real-time and shows them the camera of what is going on in the location. Can you imagine the officers responding, knowing where the shooter was, knowing the victims are coming out for fire rescue? What the system does it gives them a real live shot of what's happening on the ground. What you cannot see. We have superman who can see through walls in this prticular case. This camera is what gives our police officers the advantage, the safety, and I think it will better give them a response to the citizens. You can you show them what they will be able to see in the camera, I think that will grab them. >>Male Speaker: absolutely. You will see here that we are actually getting live stream video in from the actual callers' device. The caller was able to snap real-time images to provide as well into the call center and our call takers can actually get snapshots of what is going on that they see that maybe vital for our responders. This also streams right through to the responder's device, giving them real-time situational awareness for better response and better life safety. Alongside of that is the ability to actually received that imagery over chat messages and creating a safer situation for your citizens. In order to receive those pictures you are seeing here today, the still shots and actually providing a silent chat to the actual citizen during the actual call. . That message automatically goes out. You will see the message went out and was received by the double check mark and we have an instant receipt from the actual color. And we are creating a safety situation where they are not actually getting alarm notifications in indicating to the suspect that they are actually getting messages. So creating a much, much more safer environment for everybody in real time. >>MADAM Attorney: all right. we good? >>Female Speaker: I have a question. >>Male Speaker: before I start to take question -- who's has a question? You? Okay, second. This is something you are proposing to the county a business. >>Male Speaker: correct. >>Male Speaker: and commissioner martinez, I tend to agree that it will be an excellent tool. >>Male Speaker: right now a pilot program for free. They have to tested to see if it even works. It's an item we have on today. If it does not work, don't buy it. If it does, it's a good thing. >>Male Speaker: is automatic when the call -- does it automatically discharge the person on the phone has to turn on a camel themselves? >>Female Speaker: have to click the respond but sent tem because I from the -- just like the bodycams. >>Male Speaker: that was my question about privacy. >>Female Speaker: thank you, MR. Germek. I pulled this item for questions. Procedurally, I guess it's appropriate to ask questions now and I will release my pool if that's appropriate. But if the pilot program moves forward, how many of our county residents', 9-1-1 calls will be routed to your company? 100 percent of 9-1-1 calls, 10 percent? If it's just a percent, how are we going to determine which 9-1-1 calls are routed to your company during the pilot program? >>Male Speaker: no actual 9-1-1 calls are routed to our company at all. So all of the calls are still routed to your 9-1-1 center. They are leveraging the technology in order to activate the location camera and silent chat capabilities. >>Female Speaker: so your company does not answer the 9-1-1 calls, and for miami-dade county residents? >>Male Speaker: that's correct. >>Female Speaker: thank you. >>Female Speaker: the answer, my question was the same. Thank you. >>Male Speaker: commissioner higgins followed by commissioner hardiman and commissioner regalado? >>Female Speaker: yes. Thank you very much, MR. Chair. Can you let us know what other communities or whatever police departments are either using this technology or evaluating this technology around the country? >>Male Speaker: sure. Around the country, we have 38 other agencies that are utilizing the technology and right here in the state of florida, we have clearwater, florida, as well as largo, florida, is currently using it. Actually looking at it right now. >>Female Speaker: thank you very much. >>Male Speaker: commissioner hardiman. >>Male Speaker: thank you very much. The images that you are projecting to the county, how do you store those images and the videos? For instance, if I were a defense attorney and I wanted that footage because it might exculpate my client, how do I get that? What would it be stored mac. >>Male Speaker: this is 100 st. Cloud native service, and this is all being stored on aws governor cloud. Which is secure encrypted system that only your county administrators for 9-1-1 will have access to. So you control and on the data, and that is where the repository sets. It is stored according to whatever policies that you have for record retention. >>Male Speaker: commissioner regalado? >>Female Speaker: thank you. Mine is actually in line with what commissioner hardiman was asking. I think this would be a great tool for our domestic violence calls. As you guys know, that is really where our officers will walk into GOD only knows what, and usually from an evidentiary perspective, it's very complicated too. So I know there was a report that is coming to this board I think next week from the domestic violence task force with different recommendations. I would love to incorporate that as part of that. I think it would solve several issues: number one, it would give our office a bit of information as to the situation that they are walking into. Then on the other side, it MAY actually help our state attorneys and our police in making sure that those calls turn into actual cses. Now it's a little different walking it back, but there might need need to be in and piece from a different organization that provide the support. But I think it is great. I mean, my questions are going to be about where the video astored, if we've spoken to the state attorney about how it's used. In the municipalities where you already have it, is being used in court? I assume when you turn on the camera's automatic consent, right, so it releases the video as part of the evidentiary process? >>Male Speaker: commissioner, actually, we've actually had several court cases involving domestic violence that are actually still under investigation or would love to share the video and how that impacted those particular calls. But we have one particular aency right now that is actually utilizing the video of the location and the chat messages that was going back and forth with the victim during that actual incident, and it was ended up being a six hour standoff they came to a very safe resolution. So, yeah, that was -- domestic violence is hugely impacted by this technology. >>Female Speaker: and for the folks that are watching, I think it's important to note that the chat is a recent development which is provided -- turned out to be very useful. One of the things that we kind of got from the pandemic, because people were unable to call, so they were allowed to text. Now that becomes an evidentiary tool too. First it's a safe way for them to communicate with the police or whoever they called at 9-1-1, but it also provides some evidence later on. I'm not sure if we are going to get more information on how the pilot is going to roll out, but I would love to see it used specifically in the area of domestic violence and the other, the other part that I think would be also very useful, given what is happening now in miami-dade county, would also be for evictions, for our evictions team to also get a heads up. With had a few issues. Another opportunity, you know. Thank you. >>Male Speaker: commissioner heyman? >>Female Speaker: thank you, gentlemen. Your product has a good recommendation., carlex, it does not get better than having a pilot project here in miami-dade. Single circuit largest county, third-largest state and no cost. They could use it to market it to come back and try and sell it to us, but don't try and micromanage how they should use it. Is it successful project, they will put different variables in based on how they have already used it and our dynamics with our police department. It is an item, 14 b6. Is that right? 14 a6. If you like I, sign it on as cosponsor. Let's get this moving. It was waived through committee. Thank you. I will be cosponsor of that, attorney. >>Male Speaker: with that -- >>Male Speaker: MR. Chair, if I MAY, they have a particular video. Is used -- look, the calls go through 9-1-1. All they do is have an overlaid input on. They send the thing. If the person wants it, they can click it and now you have a camera. For domestic, they have a hostage situation video that I wish they would show, I mean, that was the whole intent of having this today. So, you know, we react better to pictures than two words. I thought that picture of when you see the hostage dish fish MAY talk about it or not? He's holding a hostage. He also has a gun at the tops -- >>Male Speaker: you have video? >>Male Speaker: is under investigation and cannot be showed in public. >>Male Speaker: there you go. >>Male Speaker: but then he is holding dish that you have the hostage, he's drinking, smoking meth and he has begun waiting for the cops to come, to shoot them as they approach. They see the video. Victim cannot talk to the police, obviously, but she can text. And she cannot show or move the camera around. So they came in through the back and obviously turned out a whole lot different than the guy thought it would turn out. I think it is a very good program for our police officers, for our community. It can be used in any, any situation. So if you are taking up the item now, I would be happy to move it. If not, I will -- >>Male Speaker: have to set the agenda first. So go ahead. >>Male Speaker: thinking,, MR. CHAIRMAN. Commissioner martinez, you had me yellow. I would love to be a cosponsor on this, please. >>Male Speaker: okay. Gentlemen, thank you so much for your presentation and we will take up the item in a little bit once we set the agenda and get things going. >>Male Speaker: thank you. Before I start setting the agenda, where is frank? Will you go get him, please? I need to ask him a question. In front of everybody! This is what happens when you mess up. [Laughter] >>Male Speaker: all right. MADAM Attorney? i think. [Inaudible] Was asking a question. Sergeant of arms, front and center. You know, I understand you have a special day today. You are turning a certain age. Yeah. But you tried to tell me you were turning 28. I found out differently. With that, we want to wish you happy birthday from all of us. >>Male Speaker: thank you very much. [Applause] >>Female Speaker: happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear frank! Happy birthday to you! >>Male Speaker: happy birthday, guy! [Applause] >> I thought you were going to do the stevie wonder version. >>Male Speaker: you think I could compete against that? No way! All right. MADAM Attorney. >>Female Speaker: yes. Good morning. In accordance with rule 606 of the board rules rules of procedure, members of the public will now have a reasonable opportunity to be heard regarding nonpublic hearing propositions that are before the commission today, which have not been subject to a previous opportunity to be heard. Regarding your public hearing items under section 5 of your agenda, members of the public will be given an opportunity to speak on the item is called. mr. Chair, at this time you MAY extend the reasonable opportunity to be heard. >>Male Speaker: anybody that wants to have a reasonable opportunity to speak, it's time to do so.

With that, mayor dan gilbert, city of miami beach; lena hudak, manager of miami beach; and former incredible person you've miami-dade county; and david bill barr, dobbler? Okay. With that, we start out. >>Male Speaker: MR. Mayor, thank you, MR. Chair. , 4c, which is cra. I'm here with racquel williams, director of economic and a lena hudak, as many of you MAY know. Right? She used to be the manager here. We treated you in draft day one manager and cra, so that's how that works. Now, you are on first reading of the cra at north beach area. If you are not familiar, it's from 55th street to the ocean to a little bit over a bridge. Is an area that hits nine of the metrics, four cra trms of other related conditions. About -- the median income is about half that of the county's median income. One thing about the area I would say to you is this an area that has incredible potential. Residents of the area, the working class, many are elderly. But to a great extent, I tink they struggled but they believe the area is something that has the ability to be on lock in ways that the cra is actually very helpful in doing. So I want to thank you all by the way, especially, commissioners came in and taken to represent our county -- city, but also all of you in your economic. [Inaudible] This is the first reading. Our staff will be available to come to any of you private second reading to talk about it to answer your questions.

MADAM Mayor and MADAM Attorney but it is wonderful to be home. I must admit I was very sentimental walking into the building this morning. I certainly very much feel part of all of you. So first and foremost, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank miami-dade county and miami-dade county police in particular for the support that miami beach has received over the last couple of months. We greatly appreciate that they needed to continue. We are here today as mayor gilbert said to make our first pitch in preparation for consideration of our cra. We have a couple of weeks between now and second reading in their economic development director kat williams is here. He will be reaching out to each of your offices and I want to spend some quality time with each of you, talk to about the challenges at north beach and all of the wonderful things that our redevelopment plan calls for. Miami-dade county and the city of miami beach has a very long history. We have two cra's that have been extraordinarily successful for our community and we look forward very much to working with all of you. So I will be personally reaching out and scheduling time with all of you in the coming weeks. Thank you very much for this opportunity and thank you for so much warmth and hospitality. It's great to be here. >>Male Speaker: thank you. All right. David dobbler? Please state your name and address for the record plenty of two minutes, sir. >>Male Speaker: good morning. MADAM Mayor, commission, name is dave dobbler from 800 w. Avenue in miami beach. Am here to represent the biscayne bay rain health coalition. Please forgive me for reading our statement: on behalf of the biscayne bay we have health coalition in support of the holland coalition, we are in favor of today's agenda item 2b9 which is the urban expansion area report. It's a well-done report that should be immediately and formally adopted by the county board of commissioners. The report concludes that, one, utv is part of the public trust in land outside the uvb should not be considered for expansion. Number 2: there is currently plenty of land for commercial growth for at least the next 20 years. 3: paving land beyond the bbb with concrete which is needed for the comprehensive everglades restoration area plan is a really, really bad idea. Everglades restoration needs this area to return water flow to the bay, and industrializing it will negatively affect the coastline the mangrove watershed, endangered species, biodiversity and overall biscayne bay health. We must, we must maintain utb and institute, institutionalize proper buffer land management. The report being submitted supports numerous biscayne bay task force recommendations and we encourage you to adopted. Thank you. >>Male Speaker: thank you, sir. [Inaudible] >>Female Speaker: my name? >>Male Speaker: what is your name? >>Female Speaker: isabella a mayo. >>Male Speaker: I have more, so it wouldn't make sure. Is 9880 w. Bay harbor drive, and I'm here today in support of item 2b9. We support the work and recommendations provided by the miami-dade planning department on this report. It's clear a lot of work went into the analysis of this data and we also appreciate the responsiveness of staff on all of our questions. We want to welcome and prepare for future growth within our community, but low density development beyond the udb is unsustainable and it's not the solution to the housing of portability or diversity. Especially with the recent passage of house bill 337, which caps our ability et al. 5 percent to leverage impact fees. The county and taxpayers will end up paying for as well. Instead we must focus our infrastructure investments within the already developed environment. From transit to water and sewer conservations to upgrades for carbon reduction in sustainability. We have to realize that sustainability means setting aside the land that will perform ecosystem services for the already built environments. We have a hearing capacity and it's likely that in the near future a single family home that is one-story on a large lot will be a thing of luxury and not the norm as our population grows. Providing multi family homes new transit is the future. Minimizing the loss of agricultural land a key consideration when identifying areas for future growth. It's integral to add an icbm peak policy directing completion of a study in partnership with the research institution that identifies the amount of land needed to maintain an economically viable agricultural industry and the associated challenges with maintaining necessary acreage. We agree with staff there is no need to create a new uva acreage at this time, even with the retraction of we agree with staff there is no need to create a new uva acreage at this time, even with the retraction of 1993 acres that's proposed. The new uva that's proposed in the southern end of the system actually makes more sense to identify for future growth than the current uva's that are on the books. The reason being is it's the closest to infrastructure including our major transportation corridor which already has high fees associated with it. The everglades quotient as I said use and identified serve footprint for the project to be completed. For that reason we don't want to see a new uva identified in the lichtel at this time. The zning and planning decision made today will shake the urban landscape of me future and everyone's future. And headed to graduate school in the fall and would like to refer return to miami someday. I want you to invest in my future by pulling the best urban planning and sustainability measures. >>Male Speaker: thank you so much, ma'am. >>Female Speaker: thank you. >>Male Speaker: nicholas oud on? >>Male Speaker: good morning. I reside in A.D. 60 sw. 14th street. I first want to thank you all for the opportunity to provide public comments today. I'm here to speak on behalf of the whole of the line coalition to voice supported findings and recommendations of the area planning division. Final urban expansion area report. Supported by a thorough analysis of the current edb and uaa's capacity to accommodate long-term population growth, the report concludes sufficient speech support in supporting job development and rubbed his eventual county performed. [Inaudible]. Rather than paving of scarce green space outside of te utb, the county should prioritize green infrastructure projects and job creation within the current development boundary and take action to increase the diversity of housing options along current and planned rapid transit corridors. You must also take steps to protect and improve the economic viability of the agricultural industry and incorporate miami-dade county beginning with measures of supporting small farmers and help safeguard critical farming and wetland areas in perpetuity. Until the bbc phase of the comprehensive x restoration, project is complete and weak, with confidence that the expansion would not infringe on the efforts to restore biscayne bay, we should take pause with any measure that entails building further out works. In order for us to be truly resilient in the effects of climate and ecological crises, we need to make sure our taxpayer dollars are focused on sustainable infrastructure projects like in full multifamily housing, public transportation, septic and sewer conversions, in nature-based solutions to sea level rise. We believe the planning division did student diligence with final uva report and that the report provides some guidance to continue working together on solving the many pressing issues we face. Issues like the affordable housing crisis, the climbing up the biscayne bay, and the imminent threat of climate change. Please but to accept the findings and welcome additions of the report and take steps now and in the future that are consistent with that decision. Thank you so much for your time and your consideration. Speaker: thank you, sir. Ma'am? >>Female Speaker: good morning and greetings! My name is danielle lapierre, addresses 7151.

Just come on up. >>Male Speaker: good morning, CHAIRMAN Diaz, mdame mayor, commissioners. It is an honor for the public health trust, board of trustees to present our annual report about the progress at jackson health system. When we met about a year ago, our county and our health system are facing challenges, heart ache and stress unlike anything we had ever seen before in any of our lifetimes. The covid-19 pandemic was nearly dish fish nearing its peak in miami-dade cunty in the darkest days were still ahead of us. What we are still in the battle, we are confident we are on our way to winning the war. With jackson health system has accomplished over the last 15 months is simply put extraordinary. None of it would have been possible without the bravery ad selflessness of jackson's 13,000 miracle workers. The visionary leaders to guide them are dedicated forward and support of each of you. What we have certainly seen unprecedented challenge, the good always outweighs the bad in jackson has many successes to celebrate. High on the list is the 10th anniversary of our ceo, carlos Mccoy out. When carlos joint jackson a decade ago, skeptics question how a lifelong banker could rescue our community struggling health system. not only has carlos delivered on the promise of the new improved and stronger jackson, he has been a leading trusted consistent voice throughout the pandemic. Our respect for him is deep, our gratitude profound. Carlos will share with you all the details about our vision for the future, the obstacles we have overcome and the headwinds that we are facing. Thank you for all the fear and the support of jackson every year, but especially the last one. With that, MR. CHAIRMAN, I will turn it over to carlos. >>Male Speaker: thank you, sir. >>Male Speaker: thank you, CHAIRMAN Heffernan, and good morning. It is so nice to be here in person with all of you as opposed to seeing you all in boxes on zoom. When I stepped into this role a decade ago, one of my top priorities was building a new jackson. Health system that was not just sustainable, but one that would drive for JUNE the future generations, place where the facilities were on par with the exceptional medical care that jackson has always been known for. For too long, jackson's buildings had been neglected. We saw the people choosing to go elsewhere for medical care. Also lost in the turmoil was the focus on building a strong employee culture that motivated employees to be at the very best. Not just in the work that they do, but in every encounter, with every patient, every hour. The $830 million miracle building program approved by miami-dade voters in 2013, along with jackson's own reinvestments, allowed us to move forward with an ambitious 1.8 billion dollars capital plan to renovate agents facilities, build new ones and make smart investments into the latest technology and equipment. Since then, we've completed a number of projects throughout the system, large and small. You have seen many of them, including a world-class rehabilitation center that opened last year and a network of you help jackson urgent care centers, geographically spread across miami-dade county. Today, I'm excited to give you a glimpse of the progress of our other signature progress. The most recent completed project is our you help jackson critical care provision, a three story tower built above our existing diagnostic treatment center at jackson memorial hospital. At jackson -- as jackson continues to grow, it's surgical services like transplant, neurosurgery and heart surgery, the need for additional intensive care beds has also increased. Features two floors outfitted with 54 icu beds and construction is underway on the tird floor, which will add an additional 24 beds. Addition will bring jackson memorial to a total of 146 operational intensive care unit beds, which is on the high end for any hospital in the country. The jackson health foundation received a $10 million gift from an anonymous donor to name this building the you help jackson critical care provision to emphasize the link between our institutions, which is stronger than ever. You can see from this photo that this is a beautiful modern addition to the main entrance to jackson memorial. After two years of construction, we move patients into this building in MARCH. Ever since, we have gotten great reviews from our clinicians, patients and their families. Here, our caregivers have a more spacious work environment and our patients are in large old private icu suites outfitted with the most high-tech equipment to help in the recovery. The units have also been dedicated secure pharmacy for sensitive medications and negative pressure rooms for patients with infection disease. Not to mention great, uplifting decor and windows in every room. What we have here is the gold standard in critical care. As our health system continues to grow, we fully expect our critical care volume at jackson memorial to continue to increase. This new space will help elevate the high-quality care these patients receive after surgery and before the transfer, to inpatient units. Later this summer, we plan on opening jackson west medical center. Our first built kansas delta campus in jackson century service in jackson, florida. This facility is spectacular in every way, from its eye-catching architecture that you can see from the palmetto expressway, to the grand lobby, to sign outpatient units and emergency department, cafeteria, and outdoor patio. By far, the biggest and most complex project in our capital plan, jackson wants will be a game changer for people who live in communities in west miami-dade like doral, miami springs, hadley and sweetwater. For the first time, parents in the area will have easy access for their kids only through emergency department 24/7 and staffed by board-certified pediatric care specialists. Expectant moms in my at west miami-dade will be able to get the look of breath closer to home in a place that combines luxury that will match expertise that is synonymous with the jackson name. Is campus will combine consumer centered outpatient facilities with the latest surgical and inpatient programs at the 100 bed memorial hospital. We will offer emergency services for adults and kids, a full range of diagnostic and imaging suites, and physician clinics for adult and pediatric specialties. The clinical service that will be offered are tailored to fit the needs of people in nearby communities including neurology, orthopedics, ostetrics, gynecology, cardiac care, and weight loss surgery. We look forward to celebrating the grand opening of jackson west with all of you. 15 years ago, jackson acquired parkway regional medical center. And so began the story of jackson north. Since then, the progress made at tis hospital has really been incredible. In jackson north has become deeply rooted in the north miami beach community. Medical, surgical obstetrics, bariatrics, cardiac care, rehabilitation care, the services offered at jackson north are wide-ranging. Will focus on delivering quality expertise, jackson is known for to the people in the northern end of miami-dade county and south broward. We have invested nearly $100 million jackson north to renovate and expand the adult emergency department, build pediatric emergency department, upgrade patient units and rebuild operating rooms and surgical sweeps, monitor the front entrance, repeat exterior of the building, purchase one of the industry's most sophisticated robots and much more. We have also made extensive investments at jackson south where last year we are have opened a completely renovated and labored postpartum unit as well as new c-section suite. We also renovated our inpatient behavioral health unit with all new patient rooms and replaced the hospital's roof. Work continues on a new medical office building located just west of jackson south. We plan on leasing space in this building for physicians offices, allowing our doctors to remain close to the hospital while providing your patients with an easy and convenient place to go for routine office visits and follow-ups. Over the last seven years, we have also invested time, e
