From the President
THE MOST COMMON question homeowners have about their association is: Where does our money go? Homeowners who read my entire article in every edition of the Aerial know where some of their money goes. The rest of the money and the biggest line items are management expenses which we must have by law, safety patrol which this board believes helps prevent some crime and we know for certain often comes to the aid of distressed homeowners and landscaping which protects, maintains, and enhances our property values. We have the most beautiful community in North Las Vegas and most of Las Vegas, Summerlin and Henderson. This creates a desirable place to live which increases demand for homes in Aliante.
I am aware that Sun City Aliante had to raise their assessments and there was an outcry from some of the homeowners. I know Warren Geller the president of Sun City Aliante and I can tell you with certainty he would not have approved raising assessments unless it was necessary. I was particularly amused by a disgruntled homeowner post on Nextdoor who said the board raised assessments to fatten their pockets. Board members do not receive compensation of any kind and compensating board members is prohibited by Nevada law. There is one thing board members get when assessments are raised – grief! We know it is coming and we do everything we can to not have to raise assessments. They forget board members pay assessments too! I think it is obvious to everyone who buys groceries, gasoline and pays utilities that inflation is hitting us all hard. This week I paid 17.66 for grapes and cherries for just me and my wife. We laugh about the raise in Social Security we got for 2023. That increase was used up in the first three months!
Important Board Decisions at the May 2023, Board Meeting continues on page 5 https://www.facebook.com/aliantemaster/
• Approved approveto our management contract that increases the amount the community manager can approve for urgent expenses from $1,000 to $5,000.
• Reviewed and voted to accept the March quarterly Playground inspection report provided by ParkPro Tek. All the noted items will be repaired when the new playground equipment is installed.
• Approved a budget request from the social committee not to exceed $7,000 for the June 10th, 2023 Ice Cream Social event.
• Reviewed bids from two street sweeping companies to sweep the streets in Ravenna. Approved the bid from Sweepz in the amount of $179 per month. Sweepz was not only the lowest bidder, they also were the only better to state their sweepers had water on board to minimize the dust. The previous company that has gone out of business was charging $240 per month.
• Approved a proposal from Gothic in the amount of $3,150 to replace perennial grass plants with Sea Green Junipers.
• Approved a proposal in the amount of $113,915 to remove nonfunctional turf mandated by AB356 and replace the turf with the new draught tolerant plants mandated by the Aliante Development Agreement. The expected rebate from SNWA is $37,500 bringing our net cost to $76,415. The expected amount of water that will be saved in this area is 1,375,000 gallons per year.
