From the President

EFFECTIVE MARCH 2, 2023, Janelle Fuhrmann, who has been the association’s Assistant Community Manager for the past 10 years, will become our new community manager replacing our current community manager Joshua Roser. I was on the Board when both Josh and Janelle joined the Aliante Master Association management team and I know both very well. Josh is moving on to a simpler, quieter life in South Carolina. (I hear being a Community Manager for over 18 years will do that to you!) Josh has been our community manager for approximately 8 years! I want to take this opportunity to thank Josh for his many years of dedicated service to our community and wish him the best of luck and a long lifetime of good health. The five board members who were able to attend a meeting with FirstService management’s Vice President Lauren Starner, enthusiastically and unanimously recommended and approved Janelle’s promotion. Janelle knows every aspect and minutiae of our association and has the training to make a smooth transition into her new role. She has earned all the designations to become a community manager: NVCAM – Nevada Community Association Manager 2009, CMCA – Certified Manager of Community Associations (CAI) 2009, AMS – Association Management Specialist (CAI) 2016. Congratulations Janelle! The Board is looking forward to working with you!

Important Board Decisions at the January 26, 2022, Board Meeting

We accepted a proposal from Twilight Designs in the amount of $8,264.73 to replace the electrical pedestal destroyed in the horrific accident that occurred on January 2, 2023, on Aliante Parkway near Arby’s. The electrical pedestal controls all the association lighting at the two south corners on Aliante Parkway and the 215 Beltway. It also provides power to twenty-two irrigation valves on those corners and the length of the Aliante Parkway south to Deer Springs. Gothic must turn the twenty-two valves off and on by hand until the power is restored.

• The board reviewed the common element assets suggested by our reserve study that may need replacing or maintaining this year and approved management obtaining proposals as needed for these projects.

• The board approved the purchase of six additional holiday wreaths and one replacement bow in the amount of $3,355.22. We were able to save 25% on these items by purchasing them before February 28.

• We approved the annual membership fee in the amount of $320 for all seven board members to become members of CAI, Community Association Institutes. CAI plans and provides quality education classes for homeowner board members and community volunteers through the Dedicated Community Association Leader (DCAL and Advanced DCAL) programs. Board Vice President Wayne Headrick, Treasurer Stan Wright and I have completed the course of study to earn the DCAL designation we hold.
