Trunk or Treat at Aliante

SOCIAL COMMITTEE plans first ever Halloween event at Aliante. It’s true, the Social Commit tee had been on hiatus since 2020 due to the pandemic. The good news is we are back and working hard to plan a new Fall event for everyone in our wonderful community to enjoy. Save the date in your calendar for Friday

October 28 from 4-7 PM as we will be hosting the first ever Halloween Trunk or Treat.

Do you love Halloween?! Host a trunk!

The social committee is seeking 30 volun teers to host a trunk for this event. All local businesses and residents are invited to partic ipate! A $50 stipend will be provided to all who

volunteer to help offset the cost of decorations. If you are interested in participating, check out the ad on page 13, and scan the QR Code to reserve your spot. We hope you will join us in the festivities.

Elie Taylor - Social Committee Chair

From the President

I RECEIVED a courtesy violation letter! (This is unmitigated proof that the inspectors have no idea who the homeowners are of a particular home and if they do, it is irrelevant to them.) I felt all the emotions every homeowner feels when they get a violation notice and none of them were good. We have had four large Japanese Waxleaf Privets blocking the sun from shining on the west side of our garage for 12 years. They started to look woody, and the top portion was burnt so we cut them down low to stimulate new growth. The cut back privets exposed the fact that the stucco on that wall had faded and there were four faint dark areas on the stucco where the privets had been blocking the sun. My wife and I didn’t notice it. Probably because we were used to seeing four dark areas on that wall, for many years, that were the much taller privets. I followed step 2 in the below instructions, and we had our stucco painted within three weeks of the date of the courtesy notice. This situation gave me the idea to use my article to explain to homeowners what they can do to avoid fines, receive a precollection letter or being sent to collections:

1. First and foremost, ensure your home is well maintained and don’t make any exterior changes without first getting approval from the Autumn Ridge ARC and the Aliante Master Association ARC.

2. If a homeowner receives a courtesy violation letter, the best way to avoid fines being levied, is to respond to the letter. The second page of the letter is the Homeowner Response Form. Homeowners can respond: Has been resolved as of __/ __/ __ (The date will be noted, and the inspector will confirm this has been resolved during the next inspection. A picture needs to be included as proof.)

Will be resolved on or before __/ __/ __ (This gives a homeowner more time if needed.)

Architectural Application submitted on __/ __/ __ (Only when an ARC should have been submitted.)

Request an extension of ____ days (This gives a homeowner more time if needed.)

___ Request a Hearing before the Board of Directors or its duly appointed designee. (if you believe you have unjustly received a violation.)

The homeowner response form should always be completed and returned via the fax number, email address or mailing address listed on the form.

From the Mailbag

Maintaining A Clean and Safe Community

“Are you serious about this violation?”

“Why are you singling me out?”

“Aren’t there other people with worse viola tions than mine you could be harassing?”

Do you feel this way when you receive a viola tion notice in the mail? Management sends out violation letters to all homeowners on behalf of the Board of Directors when a violation of the Governing Documents has been found. Unfortu nately sending letters does not always result in compliance. Per the adopted Compliance Policy, if a violation exists after the first notice and hearing notices are sent, the deeded homeowners may receive fines of up to $100 per week until cor rected.

“Why can’t I park my work truck at my own house?”

“How come you’re not getting rid of all these commercial vehicles parked in our community?”

Management is unable to disclose if a violation has been sent, if the owner is receiving fines, or any other information pertaining to their indi vidual account.

For those who keep their homes and yards well maintained, the association thanks you for your efforts and good examples. We encourage all residents to pay particular attention to the following maintenance items.

• Exterior paint - Paint is a quick and easy way to keep your property looking fresh, new and clean. It will also protect against corrosion, weathering and insects. Don’t forget to paint shutters and fas cia when needed.

• Landscaping - Landscaping is extremely important to our community’s curb appeal. Please remove and replace dead plants and trees. Keep shrubs properly pruned including removing dead and volunteer branches. Keep yards free of leaves, weeds and other debris.

We agree that having vehicles such as these in your community or any community is not only against the rules but can be an eyesore. The Asso ciation would love to be able to remove these vehicles but are bound by laws that prevent them from towing vehicles from public streets, even if they do not comply with the rules and regulations. The city however, through Code Enforcement, can make the decision to have a vehicle removed by means of towing at the owner’s expense.

We understand the frustration and wish all homeowners were diligent in abiding by the CC&R’s as you many of you are.

“The Association is always sending me violations and my neighbors never get any?”

Chances are, they probably have. Privacy laws dictate which information is to be kept confiden tial and compliance issues fall into that category.

• Roofs - Please insure your roofs are properly maintained and cleaned including removing debris.

• Driveways and parking - Please repair cracks, pitted or flaking surfaces, stains and other concrete problems. Commercial vehicles must be parked wholly within the garage or outside of the commu nity. All vehicles must be registered and operable when parked in view.

• Gazebos and patio covers - Please replace worn or damaged fixtures and coverings and check fittings for stability.

• Trash cans - Trash cans must be placed out and removed within 12 hours of collection times and must be screened from view.

The main mailing/billing address or primary address will receive ALL correspondences from the Association. The second (usually a property manager or management company) and third address (home) will receive non-compli ance letters only.

With this service homeowners will also be able to send up to 2 photos of the area they are reporting.

Please report any leaks to this email: Hgarcia @ gothiclandscape.com.

Please note this is for reporting water leaks only.

From the President continued from page 3

If the homeowner has not returned the Homeowner Response Form requesting an extension, stating the violation has been resolved or stating a date when the violation will be resolved, and the inspector finds the vio lation has not been resolved by the next inspection, a 1st Notice Violation Letter is sent. The homeowner has a second opportunity to avoid fines by following step 2 above. If the inspector finds the violation has not been resolved on his next inspection a Hearing Notice is sent to the homeowner. For a third time a homeowner has an opportunity to follow step 2 above to avoid being fined. If the second page form is not returned before the hearing date and the violation has not been resolved, as determined by a final inspection on the date of the hearing, or the homeowner does not attend the hearing to state their case, then and only then are fines levied.

3. If a homeowner is being fined for an open violation, it is very import ant to notify management, the instant the violation is resolved. Oth erwise, fines will continue to accrue, at $100 per week, until the next inspection which could be four or more weeks after the violation was resolved. This could result in the homeowner being fined $400 to $500 after the violation was resolved!

4. If you are renting your property and using a management company our database has a third address option. Please take advantage of this by making sure we have your address and your property managers’ address in our system so violation notices will be sent to you, the property manager, and the home address.

Important decisions at the June, and July Aliante Board Meetings Gothic provided a proposal to replace 21 broken concrete panels along our streets at a cost of $19,845. They prepared another proposal in the amount of $16,200 to replace 7 concrete panels in the landscaped arroyos. The cost per panel is higher than the other 21 because these are not on the street and are harder to access. They also provided a proposal in the amount of $2,500 to replace a large panel on Centennial near Dutch Brothers. This panel was damaged during construction in this area and our Community Manager will try to get the City to reimburse the associa tion for this and other damage caused by the City’s construction. All three proposals were approved.

• We approved the quote from American Family insurance for our insurance in the amount of $9,867.40. The only other quote we received was from LaBarre/Oksnee in the amount of $163,502.

• The Board approved a request from the Social Committee for a budget of $30,000 for the first ever Trunk or Treat social event. More information on this event can be found elsewhere in this newsletter

• The Fields playground slide has been destroyed. The Property and Grounds committee believes the playground equipment is too old to be repaired and would like a new playground unit and safety padding. They are recommending option D from Park Pro in the amount of $74,220.76. The other proposals from Park Pro were option A $102,738.73, option B $94,179.54, option C $98,907.65. We approved option D as recommended by the Property and Grounds Committee.

• The Board reviewed two proposals to shave all of the concrete panels on our sidewalks and walking trails that pose trip and fall hazards due to one slab being higher by ¼” or more than the next. Both companies found 1,699 hazards. Precision Concrete’s proposal was $227,887.34 and Gothic’s was $168,506.82. The board approved the proposal from Gothic

• We approved a proposal from Gothic in the amount of $64,785 to remove the nonfunctional turf on Deer Springs South and replace it with plants. The original estimate was $77,000. The proposal is $12,215 less. The expected rebate from SNWA is $15,975 bringing the net cost to the association down to $48,810. The turf conversion is expected to save the association 1,198,125 gallons of water per year.

The Board approved a proposal in the amount of $58,795 to remove the nonfunctional turf on Elkhorn between Aviary and Aliante Parkway and replace it with plants. The original estimate was $70,000. The proposal is $11,205 less. The expected rebate from SNWA is $19,777.50 bringing the net cost to the association down to $39,018. The turf conversion is expected to save the association 988,875 gallons of water per year.

• Twilight Designs provided a proposal in the amount of $29,722.10 to install, take down and store our Holiday Decorations. This was approved upon recommendation from the Social Committee

• There are 5 gazebos in the landscaped arroyos in Aliante. The one at the San Destin Park is the only one of the five without power or a light. The property and grounds committee recommended the Board approve a proposal from Twilight in the amount of $2,312.90 to add power and a light to this gazebo with LED lights. This was approved.

• The Board approved the Property and Grounds committee’s recom mendation to approve a proposal in the amount of $3,827 to convert the four currently lighted gazebos to LED lights.

• We approved having our legal counsel draw up an Indemnification contract with hold harmless Agreement which is to be signed by all ven dors doing work for the Association.

• The Board also approved, as a loss prevention measure, that endorse ments be part of the insurance policy of every contractor and vendor who performs work for the association. These endorsements will be required to be verified prior to work being performed. The endorsements are:

1. Scheduled additional insured

2. Waiver of subrogation

3. Primary & noncontributory (wording).

It’s 10 o’clock! Do You Know Where Your Children Are?

THAT’S A QUESTION made popular in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s by a series of public service announcements encouraging parents to ensure that their children were safe at home in the eve ning. It is also the subject of Chapter 9.28 of the City of North Las Vegas Municipal Code in which curfew standards for those under the age of 18 are established. Basically, curfew hours within North Las Vegas are between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on school nights and 12 midnight and 5 a.m. otherwise.

More specifically, Chapter 9.28 indicates that during the school year, it is generally unlawful for anyone under the age of 18 to “loi ter, wander or be upon, in or about any of the public streets, avenues, alleys or other public places in the city” between 10 p.m. Sunday continues on page 8

Palm Tree Trimming

PALMS ARE OFTEN thought of as low main tenance trees; however, most palms require regular pruning to keep them attractive and safe. Many palms maintain a set number of live fronds. A regular tu rnover of foliage occurs as dying lower fronds are replaced by new ones at the apex.

There are several reasons for pruning palms. 1) Removing dead or dying lower fronds improves the appearance of a palm. 2) Dead, dying fronds and loose petioles are weakly attached to some palms and can place people and property a risk should they fall from tall palms. 3) Pruning can remove fruit clusters, spe cially where falling fruit and flower debris can be messy as well as hazardous. Removing flowers or fruit also reduces the number of potential seedings. 4) Pruning palm trees not only pre vents breakage or damage, but also eliminates nesting places for rats, scorpions and other pests.

When to Trim Palm Trees:

So, how do you know when it’s time to trim your trees?

Here’s the good news: because palm trees are generally pretty hardy, they accept pruning best in the spring and summer.

If you live in Las Vegas (where there’s hot sun) it’s best to trim your trees in warmer months. Shoot for late spring or end of summer. This gives your beloved palms the best chance of recovery.

In general, your safest bet is to check your palm tree species and check its ideal trimming month. Plan to trim your tree during that period.

You should also be careful not to overprune your palms. This can actually hurt them, or even kill them. Remember, pruning reduces the amount of foliage available for the plant to absorb sunlight and make food, which means over-pruning starves your tree. Most trees will bounce back with time but always trim with care.

Palm Tree Trimming Tools

You may need different trimming tools based on the size and species of tree, but in general, you’re going to need:

• Cutting knife (for flower stalks)

• A pruning saw (for regular fronds)

• Chainsaw (for large fronds)

•A hand pruner

• An outdoor pole saw (for hard-to-reach spots)

•A step stool

•Gardening gloves

•Protective eyewear

• A helmet (if working with a chainsaw or a large tree)

continued from page 7

through Thursday and 5 a.m. the next morning, and between 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday to 5 a.m. the next morning unless accompa nied by a parent, guardian or other adult having legal care, custody and control over that individual. Exceptions to these curfew rules, of course, exist for those under the age of 18 who are working or engaging in scheduled school activities.

It also specifies that it is unlawful for a parent, guardian, or other adult having legal care, custody

and control over a minor to allow or permit that minor to loiter, wander or stroll or be upon, in or about any of the public streets, avenues, alleys or other public places in the city during curfew hours, and prescribes possible penalties of up to $300 in fines and/or up to 6 months confinement in the city jail.

Because the parks, playgrounds, walking trails, arroyos and streets in and around Aliante are “public places” in the context of Chapter 9.28, parents need to ensure that their children are not out at night in violation of the City of North Las Vegas curfew. To help protect our children and keep our community safe, when you see or hear anyone you suspect is out in violation of the curfew, please call the Securitas Patrol number 702237-4723 or 702-237-4724, so our Security Officers can follow up.

Several candidates will be running in the election to serve you and the community, so be sure to see who is running.

Generally, there are several people running for the same Board position so please make sure you are filling out your ballots correctly. The election ballots must be marked accurately or they will be discarded by the election inspectors. Making sure to only vote for the number of candidates allowed is a common mistake on ballots each year. Election ballot inspectors are homeowners who volunteer to help sort out ballots and ensure an accurate count. Once nominated, the Board member will go straight to work with the other sitting Board members and will meet once a month for Association meetings. If you are interested in more information on the upcoming election and how you can get involved, please contact management at aliantemaster@fsrnevada.com.

The Association’s annual meeting is the best opportunity for you to learn about this year’s events and get caught up on everything happening in our community. Here are a few agenda items and meeting activities you won’t want to miss:

• Learn who your new Board of Directors officers will be.

• Meet Board and Committee members and the Manager.

• Get an update on all current and future scheduled projects and events. Please consider being an active Community resident and attend the Annual Meet ing. Come introduce yourself to the Board, the Manager and your neighbors and find a wealth of information about your Community!

Infrastructure Investments Help Secure Southern Nevada’s Water Future

CONTINUED INVESTMENTS in critical infrastructure enable the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to assure a safe, reliable supply of water for the com munity despite a climate change-fueled megadrought impacting the Colorado River—the source of 90 percent of our community’s water supply.

Among the most recent investments are a new Low Lake Level Pumping Station (L3PS) and a deep-water intake, which allow the SNWA to draw water from the lowest depths of Lake Mead. These projects not only protect Southern Nevada’s access to its primary water supply, but also help safeguard us all from water-quality issues associated with declining lake levels.

Combined, Intake No. 3 and the L3PS allow Southern Nevada to access water supplies below Lake Mead’s “dead pool” elevation of 895 feet—the point at which no water can pass through Hoover Dam to generate power or meet downstream water demands in California, Arizona, or Mexico.

Completed in 2020 and put into full operation earlier this year, the L3PS can deliver up to 900 million gallons a day to the SNWA’s two water treatment facilities. This allows the agency to continue sustainable management of Southern

Nevada’s water resources in conjunction with the community’s ongoing and highly successful conservation efforts.

Construction of Intake No. 3 began in 2008 and was completed in late 2015. A 24-foot diameter tunnel boring machine was utilized to excavate a tunnel under Lake Mead before connecting with an intake structure secured to the bottom of the lake with more than 1,000 truck-loads of concrete.

L3PS and Intake No. 3 are key elements of a network of water intakes, treatment facilities, pumping stations, reservoirs and pipelines operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Combined, these facilities can store up to 1 billion gal lons of water and pump more than 1 million gallons per minute through thousands of miles of pipes.

With SNWA’s long-range water resource planning, the community’s ongoing water conservation achievements, and critical infrastructure such as Intake No. 3 and L3PS, Southern Nevada remains one of the most water-secure communities in the Southwest.

Do You Know Where Your Association Documents Are?

WHEN YOU BOUGHT A HOME in our community, you should have received copies of all our governing documents—including the rules and regu lations—prior to or at closing. Sometimes these documents get lost among all the other papers you received at closing. And many homebuyers are so involved moving into their new homes, they don’t take the time to read all the fine print.

As a homeowner, you have a right to these doc uments; so, if you don’t have copies for any rea son, let us know, and we’ll provide them to you. That number is 702-399-4273.

Of course, it’s your responsibility to provide the association with your current address and phone number (particularly nonresident owners). This enables us meet our obligation to provide all owners with information from the association.

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 bus iness, 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.

It’s very important to have copies of the governing documents because you’ll be expected to know and comply with all rules and regulations of the community. You’ll also want to stay informed by reading all materials provided by the association.

It’s our responsibility to make these documents—the bylaws and the covenants, conditions, and restrictions—as under standable as possible, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, please let us know. We’ll be glad to clarify any confusing language or give you other materials that answer your questions.That old expression—ignorance of the law is no excuse—isn’t exactly our motto, but it’s close.
