ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE
DISSOLUTION OF A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (SPECIAL
DISTRICT) IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 189.071 FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR THE
NILE GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WITHIN AN AREA
CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 320 ACRES, BOUNDED ON THE EAST BY N.W. 27TH

REPEALER; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
The Safe Neighborhoods Act was established by Florida Statutes Sections 55-73, Chapter 87-243.
The City Commission of the City of Opa-locka, Florida adopted Ordinance 88-03 on April 6, 1988,
which authorized the creation of Safe Neighborhood Improvement District(s) within the City of
Opa-locka in accordance with the provisions of Section 58, Chapter 87-243, Laws of Florida. The
City Commission also adopted Ordinance 88-05 on April 6, 1988, which created the Local
Government Neighborhood Improvement District for the Nile Gardens Area containing
approximately 320 acres, bounded on the East by N.W. 27th Avenue, on the West by Alexandria
Drive, on the North by N.W. 135th Street, and on the South by N.W. 128th Street. According to
City records, no actions were taken for the Nile Gardens Neighborhood Improvement District for
two or more years and no reports required by Florida Statutes, Section 189.062 were filed or
submitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The City Commission is
therefore declaring the Ali Baba Neighborhood Improvement District inactive in accordance with
Section 189.062, Florida Statutes. The City Commission also repeals Ordinance 88-03 and
Ordinance 88-05 to dissolve the Nile Gardens Neighborhood Improvement District in accordance
with Section 189.071, Florida Statutes.

RE: Special Neighborhood Improvement Districts
Mr. Jack Gaskins, Jr.,
Thank you for your technical assistance concerning next steps for the dissolution of the following
special districts in the City of Opa-locka: Ali Baba Neighborhood Improvement District; East-West Safe
Neighborhood Improvement District; Nile Gardens Neighborhood Improvement District. The reason
no audits have been provided is because none of these Districts have any financial activity. The steps
that will be taken to prevent noncompliance from reoccurring, the City of Opa-locka has drafted
legislation to declare the Neighborhood Improvement Districts inactive and will repeal the enabling
legislation to dissolve the special districts. This legislation will be presented to the City Commission for
first reading on December 8, 2021, and this Ordinance will be adopted by the City Commission on
second reading on January 12, 2022. These Neighborhood Improvement Districts will no longer exist.
A copy of the legislation will be forwarded after first reading and an executed copy of the adopted
ordinance will be forwarded after second reading.
Sincerely,
Gregory D. Gay, Director - Development Services
