Re: 5 Year Financial Recovery Plan Consultants
Timothy Holmes
Commissioner During the period of Oct 2017 to May 2018 consultants were hired by the previous
Acting City Manager (Eddie Brown) in furtherance of the preparation of a 5 Year
Recovery plan (the Plan) for the City of Opa-locka.
John Riley
Commissioner The City had previously engaged A.L. Jackson Associates (Anthony Jackson CPA)to
prepare the 5 Year Recovery plan in 2017. Mr. Jackson was unable to move forward
with the plan and resigned the engagement. Additionally, Newall Daughtrey and
Associates were also engaged by the City Commission to prepare the Plan after a
Matthew Pigatt competitive bid process was completed. Mr. Daughtrey was terminated via 30 day
Commissioner letter issued by Eddie Brown after a period of time and submitted his report to the
City Commission both verbally and in writing.
Newall Daughtrey The resignation of Anthony Jackson and termination of Mr. Daughtrey's contract
Interim City Manager created additional urgency to find and engage consultant(s) to prepare the Plan. As
such, it appears that Mr. Brown engaged two consultants to work on different aspects
of the Plan. The consultants, Darvin Williams and Ashe Benzo were engaged by the
Joanna Flores former City Manager (Eddie Brown) and contract or term sheets were created and
City Clerk signed by Mr. Brown and the Consultants. The contracts were not submitted to
competitive bid and were not presented to the City Commission for
approval/resolution to adopt the contracts.
Vincent Brown,Esq. These consultants were coordinated and supervised by the Assistant City Managers
City Attorney (William Green and Ernesto Reyes) and their work product was submitted to the City
Manager. In all, three reports were submitted in various stages of completion by
Darvin Williams, Ashe Benzo and Newall Daughtrey, respectively.
The Plan was eventually coordinated by Darvin Williams, who worked to incorporate
the contributions of all consultants into a document that is close to completion. Mr.
Ernesto Reyes has developed the revenue, expense, and fund balance projections for
insertion into the final Plan that is being completed by Darvin Williams.
Finance Department 1 780 Fisherman Street,4th Floor,Opa-locka,FL 33054 I Phone 305-953-2868
Mr. Williams has ceased work on the Plan pending approval of his contract. Our review of the work product
indicates that Mr. Williams and staff should be able to complete the Plan within 14 days of Mr. Williams
restarting work on the Plan.
Consultants have been paid on their work to date with the exception of Darvin Williams who has a balance
outstanding on three invoices in the amount of$10,537.50.
Payments to date for the consultants are as follows:
Newall J. Daughtrey&Associates—$29,500
Ashe Benzo—$5,000
Darvin Williams—$10,500
TOTAL- $45,000

Re:Five Year Recovery Plan
Dear Mr.Daughtrey:
I received your correspondence dated January 15,2018 referencing an invoice for$5,000 that you stated
was due on this date.Mr.Daughtrey I have explained this payment system to you and in good faith you
were issued the retainer on November 9, 2017 which was in anticipation and prior to the Financial
Oversight Board's approval that occur ed on November 17, 2017.We also made another good faith
effort to pay you on December 1,2017,14 days ahead of schedule and on January 8,2018,7 days ahead
of schedule.You seem to be somewhat confused if you thought that a retainer and payment for services
that were never rendered would occur simultaneously on November 15,2017.The contract we signed
specified that and we agreed that no work would be performed until the Financial.Oversight Board
approved the contract.To further reiterate my position and to adhere to the contract you will not receive
another check until February 15,2018 which will total$17,000 for services rendered.
I have reviewed your contract and the reports you have submitted to date and they are not in compliance
nor are they structured in a format that gives me reasonable expectations that what has been submitted
has the potential of reaching the goals necessary to have a certified and creditable Financial Recovery
Plan that will be approved by the Inspector General and the Financial Oversight Board.Furthermore
what has been presented is old data that we already possess,understand and has been the driving force
that has caused the City of Opa Locka to seek assistance from the Governor's Office.
Per section 10 notably 10.1 I am evoking the 30 day notification to terminate this agreement which will
sunset on February 16,2018.Any other reports that you have can be forwarded to my office.Thank you
for your service in the performance of this endeavor.

section 218.503(6),Florida Statutes.
