There actually group of black sororities and fraternities that while they start this undergraduate they matured into graduate chapters that actually are transformative in so many communities around the country and around the world. So it is interesting because if you look at groups that affect children, that affect economic development, that promote health and health awareness, promote civic activity, I daresay it is difficult to find a more collaborative, cohesive and expanding group and the group of the panhellenic council. It is my pleasure to present them with a proclamation from miami-dade county. If you all could come on up, I would appreciate it. And while you all are making with the mayor is going to say a couple of words. MADAM Mayor. >> thank you MR. Chair and vice chair. This is a service collaboration.

It's extensive and we got these as a late add-on but just want to make sure we put everybody on notice of what I'm going to do in the future with these type of late add-on's. With that MR. CHAIRMAN I will go ahead and move the items. Courts the item commissioner sosa moved it was second by the vice CHAIRMAN But thank you for your words. >> owner thank you every year we face the negotiations of the union I want to thank you for bringing this item because I want to commend all the employees of jackson from nurses to doctors to everyone who has been working so hard they were able to reach an agreement with the administration and it's always good that we keep in touch with you with the union members. >> commissioner martinez. >> is there any representatives here fom nurses union? >> right in front of you. >> have a question for you, I do agree with what senator garcia was saying about these contracts. Obviously you agree with the contracts that's why they are here but let me ask you a question, what is jmh policy on vaccination for the nurses now? And the healthcare workers that we are appraising? >> currently b b >> I can't hear you. >> jackson's policy on vaccination and mou signed believe by all the union certainly by si you was to insist as a condition of work that's required to have a vaccine and if you don't get the vaccine then you have to wear a mask while you work and if you did get the shot there is I think $150 if you didn't get the shot you have to wear it n95 while you were in the facility. There's about a couple weeks ago the number was 82% vaccinated. I think it's a even smaller number now but we put in the contract to do a surcharge if you don't get the shot it's $50 surcharge per pay period for not taking the shot. >> these people that we are appraising the ones we want to hold the grade 4 and the one we say healthcare workers we are putting burdens on it if they choose not to where there wasn't a vaccine they with front-line workers. If you don't take the vaccine for whatever reason you can penalized stop I just wanted to bring it up that this was the time I didn't know about the surcharge. To make sure people understand that in my opinion from what I've heard and read I haven't had the conversations like I used to have with you all the time is that there is some unfair treatment for some people who might choose. If you get a surcharge all you have to do this or you have to do that, it's a way of pushing you to do something. Is just my opinion that that's in here and I think that's just my opinion. >> I think obviously the pandemic has become a pandemic of the unvaccinated. As a way to be leaders in the community and healthcare, especially at a time of the pandemic, the clearly majority what I would say 80% plus employees at the jackson health system thinks that's the smartest thing we could recommend is the vaccination and that, quite frankly, when we talk about it, the nurses on the medical intensive care are getting exhausted after 18 months of holding the hands of 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds as they take their last breath because they didn't take the shot. And teller members, it's not a shock for me individually, it's a shot for the community. This is a public health issue, we've been giving vaccines, some say you going to service you take 17 vaccinations to be able to go into the service. I don't know if that's the accurate number but b b >> it's pretty close. why we have taken this one is such an unreasonable mandate is beyond me because this is saving lives. >> can I say something to that right now we will be arguing for a while. I was just trying to help your people, for those who choose not to do it. The whole point was, there are burdens placed on those who choose b b I got vaccinated and I still got covid. That's not the point, that's not what I want to debate. >> that's the important prt, >> we might have another time b b I felt really bad. >>. >> you didn't die. >> you don't know if I would've died anyways martha. >> we don't want to get into that right now but all I was saying was when I read this, there were certain burdens put on people and yet we praise them we put them forth and then on some we are just putting the burden and that was it. Thank you MR. Chair. >> guys. Hold on, this is my items. I want to make sure we understand that I know everybody's got their own opinions, but the one thing I will ask and for the future, is to make sure these items come up I stand with commissioner garcia, they were brought up extremely fast, I did not have time to meet with the workers, with the people, we are doing our best to make sure we keep up our part as stated by others but at the same time, this is a very controversial issue and I don't think it's at the moment right now to start discussing or arguing this issue appeared. Commissioner garcia, if you have something to add, go ahead. >> that exactly is the point. We just received these contracts that embedded in the contract is the issue that's very controversial which for some of us, and I'm one I'm all for getting vaccinated but the reality is that these are healthcare workers I have made a clear decision. I respect, however, we are not eliminating any positions. I appreciate the fact that we are not ging down that path and making sure they stay there when incentivizing folks to gt the vaccine how much I disagree with that the way we are doing it but the fact that we are keeping our workers and respecting their decisions I do admire the trust and unions for negotiating. The next time this is why it's so important to get these to us so we can have these conversations before we get to the public. >> thank you commissioner garcia to start with that I have 14a1-14a5 before us, commissioner sosa, who seconded, vice CHAIRMAN, with that roll call. [Roll call] All in favor say aye. Any opposed? None. Next items I want to have met an attorney g1, g3, g4, g5, I know commissioner martinez pulled it, whatever the way he does. With that, let's have these items before us. >>. >> I believe this is item 8 g1, 8 g3, 8 g4, 8 g5. >> yes ma'am. >> second . >> with that, do we get a motion? Moved by vice CHAIRMAN, second by commissioner sosa. >> MR. Chair, I believe there MAY be an amendment to read into the record on item 8 g1. >> go headman. >> MR. Chair, this is an amendment, this is your amendment to add directive to the administration for item a g1 for the eastern half of this proposed annexation area east of northwest 1/27 avenue this board previously designated most of the area as an area cuntywide significance but not the northwest corridor in the western half of the annexation area west of northwest 1/27 avenue the board previously designated a small area in the southeast corner. The chair wishes to amend item 8 g1 to prepare a proposal to swap the designated areas so the annexation area east of northwest 1/27 avenue would be entirely designated and none of the annexation area currently designated west of northwest 1/27 avenue would remain designated. >> with that, the amendment is accepted with the motions. >> I pulled it. >> all in favor say aye. >> I pulled it. >> he pulled it? >> the sweetwater one, yes. >> I understood nothing of what you said of what's being added or taken away or anything. Are we talking about land? >> asked countywide significance commissioner martinez. They met with staff they believe that it will be better suited for the county to keep that portion of it and release the other portion and that's what we are doing. If staff wants to reiterate, go ahead. >> can you explain it to me please? Your code board can designate area unincorporated areas of areas and facilities of countywide significance and what that means is that if those areas are annexed or incorporated in the future of, the county would retain regulatory jurisdiction such as b >> you are saying the southeast corridor work, I understood nothing about that. >> MR. Chair perhaps MS. Gomez, lauren is gomez MAY she MAY be able to explain it better, I also have a map that was prepared by staff. >> that would be nice. Are you keeping it to yourselves? >> could you show commissioner martinez please? >> tell them apart that's kept the countywide significance. >> when he asked the county attorney. Is this just going to come back to us? >> yes. >> what is this actually do now? >> the resolution before you directs the county attorney's office to prepare the appropriate annexation items to accomplish the proposed sweetwater annexation that would be an ordinance to effectuate the boundary change and a resolution together with an interlocal agreement between miami-dade county and the city of sweetwater. >> this will come back? >> yes it will come back and it will have at least two items resolution and an ordinance. >> I will tell you, everybody knows how I stand on annexations and all that and some MAY make sense and some MAY not, little gables was one, actually high pines I thought should've gone too. But this one, the way this was done in what's going on here really upsets me. Since it does have to come back, I will save my argument there with the police department with the cost and everything else that comes to it one question I want to ask on the record now prior to the ordinance change proposed by the CHAIRMAN Back then to allow the contiguity to be the turnpike and everything else, did sweetwater or derail more or less comply? I don't think contiguity has ever been really defined by b b you've given me three different on three different things I've had an annexations I've gotten three different definitions based on whatever buddy to understand, there are three horses in this race, derail, sweetwater, miami-dade county, i could care less about derail and sweetwater. I care about miami-dade county and its residents. That's my horse in this particular race. I know this area and I know it's coming. We don't forget we just approve the tara project with over 1700 apartments, the tax base is huge. Had that ordinance not passed, with the rules we had as we interpreted very loosely have allowed a sweetwater to apply for this? I'm going to meet with you one-on-one after today. >> commissioner, if your question is would sweetwater have been able to apply? >> anybody can apply, I get that. What they have complied? What are the rules for annexation? Prior to te change. There's a number of roles in chapter 20. In any acts annexation at the board aways has the discretion to deny an application. In terms of contiguity if that's what your question is, in terms of contiguity previously in chapter 20 there were guidelines. >> correct for the board to consider related to whether annexation proposing annexation was contiguous. However, there is no definition of contiguity in chapter 20 and there were only gidelines. >> I'm going to get with you before, this is coming back, correct? >> yes, this is coming back. All annexations require an ordinance to be effectuated. This will require an ordinance and interlocal agreement . >> I will save my powerpoint presentation and everything for that day. . There is one. >> german sosa you have the floor. >> I have to say that I am very glad that you brought the item to create the standards that we tend to abide by throughout the years when we approve different annexations. It doesn't make sense for the city of west miami to try to annex the area where this building is. It makes sense and logic those are two things I'm going to say that you are doing this and I'm going to bring back the west miami annexation. Very soon. That it came before. It makes sense. I have to say that who applied for this annexation first? MADAME Attorney or department, I don't know who wants that question. >>. >> commissioners george fernando's office of management and budget for this particular annexation area of the city of sweetwater applied. >> the city of sweetwater applied first number one. Who is closed? The city of sweetwater? Once I have a map here, just clarification for the public. Is adjacent, right? >> absolutely, the city of sweetwater lies exactly west of east of the annexation area. >> there is continuing and logic there. MR. Chair, I support that. >> thank you ma'am, with that I have a motion by commissioner sosa second by the vice CHAIRMAN On all the items all in favor say aye, all opposed b b next item. >> I don't know the opposes but what item was that? >> what that all items pass, thank you MADAME Attorney.
