Summer and Pool Season is Here! HOWEVER, that doesn’t give homeown-

ers permission to drain their pools into the Association’s common areas! It is illegal to drain your pool water anywhere other than your own plumbing spill out, which is located in front of your home. The City of North Las Vegas may levy a hefty fine if you are caught draining elsewhere. The Aliante Master Association will also address any homeowner guilty of this activity via their adopted enforce-

ment policy and will hold any responsible party liable for common area landscape damage if this practice is found to have taken place. Let’s keep the community looking its best and not cause undue landscape repair expenses to be paid by the community at large. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and have a great summer!

Don’t Do It, Yet! According to the conditions, covenants, and restrictions signed by every homeowner, all improvements on a homeowner’s property require prior, written consent of the master architectural review committee and, if in a sub-association, the sub-association’s architectural review committee as well.

City Council Corner DEAR RESIDENTS,

I hope you and your family are safe and doing well. Over the past few weeks we have experienced an unprecedented situation due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus or COVID-19. I want you all to know the health and safety of our community is a shared responsibility and one that we take seriously at the City of North Las Vegas. Our employees are working diligently on the front lines providing critical life-saving services to our community, as they protect our streets and neighborhoods and keep our city running. Given the amount of stress this is generating among friends and neighbors, I wanted to take this opportunity to reach out and hopefully offer some reassurance and guidance. It’s so important for our community to stay connected during a time like this because we really need that social interaction. Technology is emerging as an especially important tool right now. While you can’t see someone in person, a video chat might be the nextbest thing. Don’t forget to use digital alternatives, such as FaceTime, Skype and sending virtual messages. If you’re looking to make friends, you can also call the Institute on Aging’s Friendship Line at 1-800-971-0016. It’s a hotline where older people can make a friend over the phone and have someone to talk to if they are lonely. You can also keep busy and maintain your health by exercising and

streaming some good videos on Netflix or YouTube. And what better time than now to work on that novel you’ve been meaning to get to? Remember, healthy mind, healthy body! Lastly, please continue checking-in on your neighbors and stay connected with the community. It’s also a good idea to try to limit the amount of news you watch if you’re feeling anxious. The unknown scares people, and that’s normal. At the same time, I hope most of us understand that panic rarely helps a situation. Instead, let’s try our best to remain calm and do our best to prevent getting sick. The CDC is urging individuals to stay calm and share facts, not fear. Among the CDC’s advice are these common-sense tips: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces every day. The coronavirus has changed the world around us. These are challenging times that we are facing, but it is my hope that we do the best we can to move forward and keep going. Please let me know if there’s anything we can do to help you. We are all in this together.

A Word from the Vice President DUE TO THE WORLD WIDE coronavirus concerns that

are now effecting our community, the Aliante Master Board has wisely elected to postpone our Break into Spring, Home, Health and Safety Fair, that was scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2020. I want to thank the Social committee who has worked very hard for months to create a fabulous community event. I also want to thank all of the community partners who were so willing to participate in our event.

As soon as the health concerns are gone and it is safe to encourage our community to gather we will schedule another exciting event. Wishing all of you a safe and healthy spring. Janice De Rosier Aliante Master Board Vice President

Update from District 3 ALIANTE,

Wow! My how things have changed; Hopefully this note finds you well, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally; Despite the impact of the coronavirus to our community and indeed the world, I remain committed to you, focusing on my three priorities. Improve Security: During these trying times it is more important than ever to be security conscious. I am happy to report, the Board voted to extend our private security contract with Securitas. This is great news for Aliante residents. I have also asked the Safety Committee to review the post orders and provide their input for an update. Both actions are good moves. 1. We were paying a premium for Securitas during the review period, almost an additional 10% extra per month, so finalizing the contract was as much a cost saving move as it was a prudent safety measure. 2. Due to the affects of coronavirus on the economy nearly 1 in 10 Americans have

found themselves unemployed and though we have not necessarily seen an uptick in crime in our area, the future remains uncertain. You should not have to worry about your security in addition to all the other stressors you are currently dealing with. I will continue to beat the drum for safety and security, working to ensure Aliante remains a safe place to live. Act Responsibly: I want to thank our President Don Schaefer and the Securitas team for reacting quickly and with prudence to close the five tot lots under the HOAs charge. This act is in line with Governor Sisolak’s directives and reduces risk to our residents. It takes courage to do the right thing when it is unpopular, but our President acted with all our resident’s best interest in mind and I am grateful for his leadership. Foster Community: Like you, I was excited for the Spring Fair that was supposed to happen this month. I was looking forward to seeing all of you, for what I’m sure would have been a great day of fun and learning. On a positive note, I am happy to report that

due to coronavirus I have had the opportunity to meet more of my neighbors than ever before, still abiding by social distancing recommendations of course. More of my neighbors have been out running, walking their dogs, and playing with their children outside than ever before. I have also noticed an increase of folks getting outside to tend to their lawns as well. My neighborhood (Fields) has never looked better. I leave you with this, times are difficult, and the future is uncertain but during this crisis I have seen our Community come together while remaining physically apart. This too shall pass. We are strong. We are resilient. We are Aliante. If there is anything we can do for you, please reach out. The FirstService Residential office is physically closed but emails and phone calls are still being answered and responded to. Until next time. Zach Weiderstein Aliante Master Treasurer

The Aliante Master now has the ability to add up to 3 addresses to a homeowner’s account. The main mailing/billing address or primary address will receive ALL correspondences from the Association.

Carson Corner: subtitle??? HELLO NEIGHBORS,

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe during this difficult time. As I write this article, we are one month away from the first documented case of Covid-19 in our State. To say that these are challenging times would be an understatement. It has been encouraging to see the display of civic engagement and compassion being shown as we support one another during this crisis. On April 1, Governor Sisolak ordered that we all stay at home until at least the end of April to help flatten the curve of Covid-19. The Coronavirus presents as an upper respiratory illness with symptoms similar to the common flu and is spreading person to person. The virus has caused death, but cases have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness depending on a variety of factors that are not yet fully known. The symptoms of this virus are similar to those of seasonal flu and include fever, cough and shortness of breath. If you feel any of these symptoms don’t panic; contact a healthcare professional for medical advice and determination for testing. As we all do our part to save lives, we can go out for essential services, such as buying groceries while adhering to strict social distancing guidelines of 6 feet distance from others. Going outside for walks, exercise or just to get some fresh air is fine and encouraged. It is also recommended that we all wear gloves and masks while we carry out these essential tasks. Hand washing often for at least 20 seconds, cleaning food prep surfaces often and wiping down packaging coming into our homes will also help us all stay healthy. Like you, I am doing as asked “Staying Home for Nevada” with my family.

County Corner IN THE MIDST OF the troubling news overload

from the coronavirus pamdemic, there are some things that give us so much hope and make you feel good to be a part of such an amazing community. People at every level have stepped up to help their neighbors, whether it be as simple as helping an elderly neighbor with groceries or picking up meds; to community leaders donating their salaries to their employees or their companies’ resources to help create medical face shields, gowns and protective masks. Southern Nevada once again has come together as a community like never before; and we will continue to get through these continued challenging times. At the County, we have been in constant motion, working with local, state and federal officials to help those directly affected and those having to deal with the ramifications of being suddenly unemployed and needing resources. We are delaying the collection of any fees and taxes owed to the County for at least one month and will reevaluate as we continue to work through these turbulent times. And we are working with all local charities to bolster their efforts to help families in need. In the first week of the closures, I organized local leaders to develop a new program which we named “Delivering with Dignity.” It began as a pilot program which provided warm meals prepared by local chefs to those who are most vulnerable. We partnered with the Elaine P. Wynn and Family Foundation; Healthcare Partners Nevada - Intermountain Healthcare; The Moonridge Foundation; Blau + Associates; Honey Salt Restaurant in Rampart Commons and Buddy V’s restaurant at the Venetian; Foster Kinship, a Las Vegas-based nonprofit that supports relatives and close family friends

raising children who are unable to live safely with their parents. The first day, immediately following the county-wide announcement about the program, chefs at Honey Salt prepared 800 meals and were ‘delivered with dignity’ to the homes of nearly 100 of the most vulnerable families identified by Foster Kinship. Many of the meals were delivered with the help of seven volunteer drivers were taken to households headed by senior citizens raising their grandchildren. The teams of volunteers delivering the meals had been properly trained in all social distancing and prevention measures as defined by our health experts. “Many of the family members we contacted were in tears when we made the call offering them this service,” said Dr. Alison Caliendo, Founder & Executive Director of Foster Kinship. “We are working with many elderly people who have health problems of their own, and they literally are putting their health at risk each time they get in their car to take their children to a food distribution site. These families are very vulnerable on any given day, let alone trying to cope with the challenges presented by coronavirus.” Stories like these will only grow as we continue to eradicate this virus now and in the future. I encourage you to share stories of generosity and kindness you have experienced these past few months by emailing them through the website at www.marilynkirkpatrick.com. We won’t stop and will continue to help those in need. Please visit our website at www.clarkcountynv.gov for more resources or call my office at (702) 455-3500 if you have specific issues you need help with. Clark County is a community with a big heart, and we will continue to help those in need. Marilyn Kirkpatrick Clark County Commissioner

State Your Claim Could Nevada be holding money for you?

What money you may ask, Items specified in Nevada Revised Statutes 120A says Nevada could hold financial assets owed to an individual or a business, including securities, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, gift certificates, and other items. The primary mission of the Nevada Unclaimed Property Division is to reunite original owners with their property. The Treasurer’s Office is charged with safeguarding the value of these assets in perpetuity. The original owner or heir never loses the ability to claim the property value. Note: Unclaimed Property Does Not Include Real Estate Or Vehicles.

Here is how you can check to see if you have unclaimed money. Go to the Nevada State Treasurer website and click the yellow smiley face option that says “search for unclaimed money”. It really is that easy. Not from Nevada? You can state your claim in other states as well. Go to missingmoney.com. There is no fee to file a claim or to search for property.
