The March-April 2025 Edition of the Aerial Magazine
Aviation Nation: Wings Over Las Vegas
AIRSHOWS HOSTED BY the United States Air Force (USAF) play a crucial role in fostering public interest, as well as bring awareness to the field of aviation. As one of the largest airshows in the United States, Aviation Nation serves as both an educational and inspirational event for those considering a career in this dynamic industry. Through the demonstration of precision, skill, and technological advancements essential to military aviation, the USAF showcases not only their capa-
bility, but they also ignite curiosity and passion among spectators. The award-winning Aviation Nation Airshow has captivated the Vegas Valley Sky and its residents since 2002, and this year is no different. After being rescheduled from 2024, the 2025 Aviation Nation Airshow will be happening on Saturday, April 5th and Sunday, April 6th at Nellis Air Force Base. This year, Aviation Nation will be celebrating continues on page 8

SAFETY PATROL
Last month I told you the association received a significant increase in the renewal contract from Securitas and the board of directors believed we had an obligation to the homeowners to seek bids from other security companies. I said we opened several sealed proposals and referred them to the Finance and Safety Committees for evaluation, interviews and recommendations. The Board voted to accept the recommendations from the committees and accepted the proposal from GardaWorld, pending legal review and approval of the contract. The proposal from GardaWorld means no increase from what we were paying Securitas before their increase. GardaWorld will start providing security patrol services at 7am on March 31st. They have stated they will be interviewing the current Securitas officers for possible employment so it is possible you will be seeing a familiar face or two. They use Toyota RAV 4s, which I believe is a desirable upgrade for our community. They also will be using phones with tracking devices and cameras inside their vehicles. The officers will not have body cameras. The tracking devices can be used by management or any authorized person to follow the activities of the officers and will ensure that they stay within the boundaries of Aliante. The only drawback is that we will have new phone numbers. The phone numbers can be found in this newsletter, and we will be sending several emails advising homeowners of the new phone numbers. When these updated numbers are provided to the management team, mass communication will be sent to residents and included in future newsletters.

City Council Corner - Mayor’s Edition
It is with great pride and gratitude that I share some exciting progress our city has made in 2025. This year marks a pivotal time in the growth and development of North Las Vegas. I am honored to witness firsthand the resilience and vision that drives our community forward. Here’s a look back at some significant milestones and events we’ve recently celebrated. Our 2025 State of the City address will take place later this month on Thursday, March 27 at 11:30 a.m. at the Aliante Hotel and Casino. I will be highlighting what we’ve accomplished and what we have planned as we continue our vibrant transformation of North Las Vegas. As one of the fastest-growing cities in Nevada and a leading force in industrial development, we continue to thrive by diversifying our economy and creating new opportunities for our residents. The foundation we are laying today will support a flourishing future for our families and generations to come. I am incredibly proud of the momentum we’ve gained, and together, we will continue to build a city that offers opportunities for all.
This year’s Black History Month celebrations in North Las Vegas were nothing short of extraordinary. We kicked off the month with a series of events honoring the legacies and contributions of African Americans. One of the
highlights of the month was the Black History Month Business Fair, which brought together local entrepreneurs and small businesses to showcase their incredible talents and products. It was a wonderful opportunity to support our Black-owned businesses and highlight the importance of fostering inclusivity and economic growth in our community. I was thrilled to attend the event and connect with so many incredible individuals who continue to shape the success of our city.
Another exciting development is the groundbreaking of Hylo Park which took place on January 28. The first phase will feature a commercial lifestyle center with restaurants, retail and a grocery store, serving the 393 new homes in the area. This project is designed to create a vibrant, walkable community with essential services right at residents’ doorsteps. Hylo Park reflects the city’s commitment to building connected, thriving neighborhoods. The development will provide opportunities for local businesses, job creation and community engagement. Phase one is set to open in December, and phase two, which will include a multi-purpose sports venue and additional amenities, is expected to break ground later this year.
Together, we are building a city where opportunity, connection and growth are available to all. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to working alongside each of you as we make our city even stronger.
Sincerely,
Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown
HELLO ALIANTE RESIDENTS,
Maintenance Report:
February 2025
Maintenance
• Between Friday, January 24th and Friday, February 21st, maintenance on the common areas of Aliante Parkway, Centennial Parkway, Deer Springs Way, Brian Cram Drive, Aviary Way, and Elkhorn Road were completed. The maintenance done included, but was not limited to, removing fall debris, dispersing mineral build up from decomposed granite, cutting back plants that went dormant during winter, and periodically doing wet checks on the irrigation.
• Between Thursday, February 20th and Tuesday, March 4th, we will begin spraying the Olive trees with growth regulator to reduce fruit growth. The walking trails will be done during the daytime, and for safety purposes, the Olives trees in the common areas, such as Aliante Parkway, Grand Teton Drive, and Deer Springs Way, will be done during the nighttime after 8:00PM PST. Below are the amount of Olive trees in the community:
– 660 in the common areas of the Master Association.
– 112 in the northern walking trail between Fields at Aliante, Treviso, and Seville Etage.
– 78 in the southern walking trail between Seasons at Aliante, Estates at Aliante, and San Destin.
• All dormant lantana yellow bells, birds of paradise, and orange jubilees in the common areas and walking trails have been trimmed.
• The remaining leaves from fall have been picked up throughout the community.
• As part of the fall maintenance, we also rake the decorative rock and decomposed granite to get rid of mineral build up. As water evaporates, it draws certain minerals to the surface of soil and leaves them there once it’s gone.
• In the next couple of weeks, we will be trimming the Ornamental grasses in the property. The plan is to complete this task by the 3rd week of March 2025.
• The rejuvenation of the Texas rangers on Grand Teton Drive is ongoing and scheduled to be completed the week of February 24th.
• After the rain on Thursday, February 13th, the trash and debris that washed onto the arroyos was removed and disposed of. The excess amounts of mud and dirt that accumulated at the Aliante tunnel was also cleaned up.
• Over the past two (2) weeks, we have been replacing plants in the community; the areas where installation is occurring is Deer Springs Way (South), Aliante Pkwy
(between Deer Springs Way and the 215 Highway), Aviary Way (South), the Aliante monuments at the 215 Highway, and walking trail 59.
• The total number of plants installed is 750 plants, with 410 of those plants being approved by the Board of Directors to replace the scorched plants. The remaining plants are under warranty replacement.
• In March, we plan on installing an estimated 450 plants under warranty.
• On February 7th, there was a vehicle accident on the Southeast corner of Aliante Parkway and Deer Springs Way, by the 7-Eleven (all passengers involved were ok). As a result of this accident, one of our mature Olive trees suffered severe damage to the trunk and primary roots. This tree will need to be removed for safety reasons.
• In the past few weeks during our irrigation inspections, we’ve uncovered areas where the flow of water to the plants was restricted due to roots growing inside the poly-tubing (see photos on page 7). To fix the issue, we’ve replaced several hundreds of new poly tubing to these areas. These poly-tubing replacements include new 3/4” poly-tubing, new connectors, new 3/8” spaghetti line, and new emitters to every plant that falls in the area of the new replacement.
Irrigation
• On March 1st, we will be increasing our watering schedule to three (3) days a week, as recommended by SNWA.
• We also plan on aerating the remaining turf and fertilizing with 19-3-6 Fertilizer (weed & feed).
• We have been conducting irrigation audits, which includes changing faulty valves, broken nozzles, clogged emitters, broken sprinkler heads, rotary sprinklers, fixing poly line leaks, and main line brakes throughout the community to ensure that the irrigation is ready to deliver water to plants, trees, and turf during the warmer months of the year.
• The three (3) backflow preventer valves that failed the required yearly test by CNLV have been repaired, tested, and certified. These results were sent out to CNLV.
New Plantings
• Between the 2nd and 3rd week of March, we plan on doing a spring color change in all the pots located throughout the community. Our two (2) best options for this color change are petunias and snap dragons. Both species do well in our warmer zone.

Women in Aviation and their contributions to the USAF. Notable achievements from women in the USAF include:
The Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948 allowed women to serve as regular members of the U.S. Air Force.
The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), flew over 60 million miles in World War II, freeing up male pilots for combat.
Women were admitted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1976, and by 1977, they began training as pilots.
The 1993 lift of the combat exclusion ban allowed women to fly fighter jets and bombers in the Air Force.
The first female Thunderbird pilot was selected in 2005.
As of 2022, women make up about 20% of the Air Force’s active-duty personnel, reflecting their growing roles.
In addition to commemorating the achievements of women in the
USAF, this event will include performances by the Thunderbirds, the USAF’s aerobatic demonstration team. Watching this team perform sky high tricks and maneuver their F-16 fighter jets just a few feet from each other is an unforgettable experience. Aside from viewing the flight demonstrations, visitors can also view aircrafts on the ground and interact with the pilots. In addition to the famous Thunderbirds, the Red Bull Air Force Stunt Team, the Vampire Airshow, The Misty Blues All Woman Skydiving Team, and many more will be performing at Aviation Nation.
If you or your loved ones are interested in attending this event, please be sure to check out https://www.nellis.af.mil/Aviation-Nation/ for more information.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Patrol
SECURITAS’ roving security patrols serve as the vigilant guardians of our communities, providing a proactive approach to safety and security. By continuously monitoring neighborhoods, these patrols deter criminal activity, ensuring a safer environment for residents and local businesses. Their visible presence fosters a sense of security, while their quick response capabilities address incidents before they escalate. Beyond crime prevention, roving security officers engage with community members, building trust and encouraging a collaborative spirit. In essence, they play a vital role in enhancing the overall well-being of the community, making it a better place for everyone to live, work, and thrive.
Check out a few highlights from recent months
December 2024
Security Officer Thomas encountered a black Volkswagen with the driver door open parked in front of a home on Song Sparrow. Security Officer Thomas made contact with the resident and advised them of the door being opened. The resident secured their vehicle.

Break-In Reports in Aliante
THERE HAVE unfortunately been several break-ins reported throughout the Aliante Master HOA, in particular within the Sun City Aliante and Club Aliante sub-associations. The Aliante Master Association’s Safety Committee would like to share some tips on how to secure your home to help prevent these acts in the future.
Look for vulnerable spots in your home: Walk around your home and keep an eye out for windows that could be easily accessed or those with a clear view of valuable items.
Lock your doors and windows: Ensure your entry points are securely fastened and lock the door to an attached garage.
Lock your vehicle(s): Securing your entry points also includes your vehicle(s). It is a common practice of thieves to scour neighborhoods and target vehicles that may have been left unlocked.
Assess your lighting: Make sure the exterior lighting of your home is functional and on during the evenings.
to the area and found an alarm going off at the gate. The officers advised the community management team and updated the resident.
Security Officer Thomas observed an adult male sitting on the sidewalk located at Widewing and Shore Bird. Security Office Thomas made contact with the adult to check his status. The man advised he was dizzy and just needed to sit until his wife would be able to pick him up. Security Officer Thomas offered to notify EMTs, but the man declined. Security Officer Thomas stood with the resident until the wife’s arrival. The man was able to enter the vehicle and departed the area.
Security Officer Thomas received a call from a resident stating that an unknown adult was loitering on Flaminian Lane for several hours. The caller further stated they had notified North Las Vegas Police, who arrived, but could not locate the adult. Security Office Thomas responded to the area and located the adult, who stated he was waiting for his mother to arrive home. The adult appeared to have special needs. Security Officer Thomas stood by with the adult until the mother’s arrival.

Leaks: Hidden Thieves That Steal Your Water & Money
ODDS ARE, at one point or another, you will experience a water leak in your home. And while the sources of leaks can differ, every unrepaired leak is money down the drain and valuable water being wasted.
One of the costliest—and most wasteful—leaks is the one that occurs on the main service line, which connects your home to your municipal water meter. If you suspect your home’s service line is leaking, here are some simple suggestions on what you can do:
Turn off all water inside and outside your home, including toilets, washing machines, showers, faucets and irrigation systems.
Check your water meter, which is typically located in the sidewalk or behind the curb in front of the home. Pay attention to the red or white triangle or star on the meter – this is the flow indicator. If the flow indicator is moving, you may have a leak.
Locate your water shutoff valve, which is usually found in your front yard near the sewer riser cap, in your garage, or in your home’s manifold system. Turn it off.
Check the meter’s flow indicator again. If it’s still moving, the leak is likely underground between the shutoff valve and the water meter. If the flow indicator has stopped moving, the leak is likely somewhere else in or around your home.
If you find a leak or receive a leak notification from your local water provider and you are unable to fix the leak yourself, consider hiring a
Water Smart Plumber. These professionals have received extensive training in water efficiency practices from the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA). Property owners also can request a leak detection voucher for up to $250 that can be applied toward the initial leak diagnostic services or the first two hours of service to fix the leak(s). For more information, visit snwa.com
Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) customers now have the option of purchasing a reduced-cost warranty from American Water Resources (AWR) to help minimize or eliminate the cost of leak repairs to their property’s water service line. In partnership with AWR, the LVVWD is providing an exclusive monthly rate of $3.99 for all single-family residential customers who own their home; the LVVWD will reimburse the first year of protection for the first 50,000 account holders who enroll with AWR. Visit lvvwd.com for more information about this and other customer assistance programs for leaks.
Other common sources of household leaks include landscape irrigation systems, toilets, faucets, water softeners, and pools or spas. Visit snwa.com to learn more about how you can diagnose, isolate, and repair leaks in your home, and save money on your water bill.
By taking these steps, you’ll not only conserve water but also protect our community’s limited water resources.

Spring Into Smart Watering: Tips for the Season
SPRING’S ARRIVAL in Southern Nevada means it’s time to help your landscape gear up for the warmer weather to come.
Just because you can water more this time of year, does not mean your landscape needs it. As temperatures increase and weather conditions allow, gradually increase your watering schedule—whether you use sprinklers for grass or drip irrigation for plants and trees. Grass can be watered up to three assigned days per week from March 1 through April 30, while plants and trees on drip need much less and should be watered no more than two days a week. Slowly ramping up your schedule will help your landscape thrive while avoiding unnecessary water use.
If you have grass, remember that sprinkler watering is prohibited on Sundays. Watering outside of your three assigned days in spring—or allowing water to spray or run off your property—can result in costly water waste fines. Find your assigned spring watering days at snwa.com.
Saving water and managing your monthly bills can be even easier if you follow these simple tips:
Inspect your irrigation system and fix leaks promptly.
Water grass for a recommended 12 minutes total on your assigned watering days [water three times for four minutes each].
Don’t water on windy days.
If it rains, turn off your irrigation system and let nature take care of it for you.
In addition, you can earn a cash incentive while you save water by upgrading your thirsty grass to a drip-irrigated landscape through the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program (WSL).
As part of the WSL program, the SNWA’s Tree Enhancement Program pays new participants a bonus of $100 for every new tree installed (up to 100 percent canopy coverage).
By following the seasonal restrictions and upgrading your grass to drip-irrigated landscaping, you’ll play a vital role in protecting our community’s most precious resource.
Spring is the perfect time to make the switch! To apply for the WSL program and to get water-saving tips to help you maintain a healthy landscape, visit snwa.com

Living with Coyotes
COYOTES ARE ADAPTABLE animals that can be found throughout North America and in every major metropolitan city, and Las Vegas is no exception. Whether you live on the outskirts of town or closer to the Strip, there is always a chance you may spot one of these animals running across the street or through an open lot.
Coyotes typically breed from late January to early March. Though they are generally active at dusk and dawn, coyotes can be seen throughout the day, year-round.
Although coyotes and other desert animals have wide open desert to roam in, the things we enjoy about our communities also entice the animals. Green grass, shaded areas, water features, open spaces, and more, bring smaller animals like quails or rabbits in, which in turn, provide reliable food for the coyotes. When it comes to eating, coyotes are opportunistic feeders. In times where natural food sources become scarce, the city offers ample sources. These sources can include our garbage, pet food, and even pets. A coyote does not know the difference between a rabbit and a smaller dog; it only recognizes it as food.
Below are ways to reduce your risk of having an unpleasant coyote encounter and keep your pets safe:
• Do not feed coyotes or any other animals. If you feed rabbits or birds, the natural prey of the coyotes, this can attract coyotes to areas that become frequented by critters with a steady food source.
• Keep pet food inside and out of reach and be sure to clean any that may have spilled during feeding.
• Keep secure lids on any garbage cans left outside.
• Do not let your cat(s) and/or dog(s) roam freely. When walking your pet(s), keep them on a short leash.
• Eliminate hiding places for coyotes and their prey by maintaining your landscaping as needed.
• Work with your neighbors to make your neighborhood undesirable to coyotes. If one
neighbor feeds birds and another leaves their garbage unsecured, any efforts to prevent coyotes in the neighborhood are negated by these issues.
It is important to know that coyote attacks on humans are extremely rare. Clark County has never had a confirmed coyote attack, though they have occurred elsewhere in the West. If you are concerned about your safety when out and about in your neighborhood, sound producing devices, like whistles or horn-in-acan, or pepper spray can be used on coyotes. Another option is to spray the coyote with water from a garden hose. What you do not want to do is corner or trap the coyote. Allow them ample space to pass so they do not feel threatened.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife will respond to a coyote encounter only if there is a bona fide public safety threat. Simply seeing a coyote is not cause for alarm. Coyotes are never relocated as they are a rabies vector species and relocation is rarely effective. Additionally, coyotes are territorial animals and not accepting of newcomers released in their vicinity. While some advocate for the removal of all coyotes in and around the Las Vegas Valley, that will not truly get rid of them all. Coyotes have a density dependent breeding rate, meaning that as the coyote population decreases in a given area, there is a chance the coyote pup litters may actually increase in both number and size.
While just the sight of a coyote can make people uncomfortable, this animal plays an important role in rodent control in the valley. We share the desert with the coyotes, and it is important to learn how to live with them by adjusting the way we do things and taking the precautions listed above.
