The Evolution of Aliante: 25 Years in the Making
ALIANTE is celebrating 25 years in the making! In 2001, this was 1,900 acres of barren BLM land. The land was part of the largest parcel ever released under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act at
that time and bought for $47.2 million by North Valley Enterprises- a joint venture of American Nevada Co. and Del Webb/Pulte. The transcontinues on page 8

Community Manager Janelle Fuhrmann, Assistant Community Manager
Gabriella Murata, Board Treasurer Stan Wright, who is a retired civil engineer, and I met with the city at the cul-de-sac on the south end of Valley Drive on the north side of the 215 Beltway to learn about the city’s plans to extend the Multi-Use Beltway Trail (see photo below) through Aliante. The Trail currently ends at Decatur and goes many miles to the west and then south. The extension through Aliante will run from Valley Drive to Clayton Street. The entire expansion will be 4.5 miles of asphalt trail with lighting, interpretive/wayfinding/regulatory signage, and benches, and will be landscaped with native vegetation/drought-tolerant plants. As we understand it, we do not believe the construction will have any negative impact on Aliante Homeowners.

North Las Vegas City Councilman Black attends approximately every other monthly Aliante Master Board meeting. At the January meeting I brought the following items to his attention and asked for his assistance: 1. Ongoing incidents of illegal dumping occurring on Citril Finch. 2. Challenges the Association is experiencing in obtaining police reports for vehicle accidents within the community that result in damage to landscaping or other common area elements. These reports are necessary for pursuing reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance. 3. Community safety concerns related to unhoused individuals residing within the large drainage tunnels located throughout Aliante. 4. A request for an update regarding the minor modification to the Development Agreement that was previously submitted. More about this in the May-June edition of the Aerial.
The nonfunctional turf removal was completed in December in accordance with Nevada Legislature’s Assembly Bill 356. The total cost is $1,596,528. The total SNWA rebate is $483,1331 for a net cost of $1,113,397. The Association’s water bill in 2025 was $200,856 lower than 2024 and $261,532 less than 2021. We are very proud of the fact that we were able to accomplish this without a special assessment, we are doing our part to conserve water, and we were able to maintain a green and aesthetically attractive landscaping throughout Aliante. continues on page 4

City Council Corner
PUBLIC SAFETY AND PROGRESS IN NORTH LAS VEGAS
As your Mayor Pro Tem and Ward 3 City Councilmember, I take seriously the responsibility to protect our neighborhoods, support responsible growth and make sure North Las Vegas keeps moving in the right direction. Over the past year, we have made real progress in ways that directly impact families here in Aliante and across our city.
Public safety continues to be our top priority, and we are seeing measurable results. Over the past year, homicides decreased by 6 percent. Traffic fatalities dropped by 40 percent and overall traffic collisions declined by 44 percent. Those numbers represent safer streets, fewer tragedies and stronger neighborhoods.
We added 81 new police officers to serve the 300,000 residents who call North Las Vegas home. Increasing staffing in the Traffic Division, along with focused DUI enforcement and targeted safety details has made a noticeable difference on our roads. The department also introduced “cruise mode,” a strategy that increases patrol visibility in retail corridors and high-traffic areas. When you see officers present and engaged, it not only deters crime but also builds trust and confidence.
As our city continues to grow in areas like Hylo Park and downtown, the Police Department has expanded its Problem-Solving Unit to stay ahead of emerging challenges. Specialized units focus on repeat offenders and gang-related activity in high-risk areas. Partnerships with the Crime Gun Intelligence Center are strengthening our ability to trace illegal firearms and reduce gun violence.
Equally important is the continued focus on community-oriented policing. Programs such as Faith in Blue, Citizens Academy, VIPS and Community Connection help build relationships long before a crisis ever happens. In 2025, the Citizens Academy had the highest attendance in its history, which speaks to the strong connection between our officers and residents.
Public safety also includes making sure our Fire Department has the tools and training needed to respond quickly and effectively. In 2025, the department achieved its highest ever percentage toward meeting response time goals for the most critical incidents and improved response times on emergency calls. When seconds matter, that improvement saves lives.
We broke ground on a new Fire Department training center, scheduled for completion in summer 2026, to provide hands-on, modern training for our firefighters.
We also began a full rebuild of Fire Station 51, with completion expected in September 2026. Station 51 is the heart of its neighborhood, and this investment ensures it will continue serving residents for decades to come.
Since 2021, 60 personnel have gone through paramedic school to increase medic capacity citywide. We added Heavy Rescue 52, fully equipping our Technical Rescue Team to handle complex situations such as swift water, rope and confined space rescues. The department also continues upgrading its fleet and equipment, including new rescue units, battery-operated extrication tools, thermal imaging cameras and ventilation equipment.
Beyond emergency response, the Fire Department’s social services division continues to make a difference. In 2025, 575 residents completed handsonly CPR and AED training, strengthening our community’s ability to respond in an emergency.
We are also continuing redevelopment efforts at the former City Hall site as part of our long-term strategy to revitalize downtown North Las Vegas and create a more vibrant, walkable center for our city.
I encourage you to watch the State of the City on our YouTube channel on March 26 to hear more about the progress we have made and where we are headed next.
It is truly an honor to serve this community. I remain committed to working for you, listening to your concerns and doing everything I can to ensure our neighborhoods continue to improve.
Mayor Pro Tem Scott Black

Maintenance Report:
December 2025 / January 2026
Maintenance
• During the months of December and January, we are cutting back perennial plants that go dormant during the winter, such as Lantanas, Butterfly Bushes, and Birds of Paradise.
• We continued to apply Pre-Emergent throughout the property, which helps reduce weed germination.
• The turf in the walking trails was mowed to a height of 2.5”. For winter, the ideal mowing height for most turf grasses is around 2 inches to 2.5 inches, as this keeps the grass short enough to resist disease while not being too short to stress the roots during cold.
• Our selective pruning included trimming trees and shrubs and removing dead branches and shaping plants to avoid winter damage.
• Gutter cleaning was done to ensure proper water flow.
• Desert Daisies, Carpet Rose, Rosemary, and Star Jasmin, and others were checked for any pest or disease concerns.
• Continued to regularly rake and remove leaves debris around the community. By removing fallen leaves as soon as possible, we can prevent mold grow due to moisture in certain areas of the landscape where mounds of leaves collect.
• In December we’ve replaced eight (8) 1” valves and two (2) 1.5” valves. These replacement are due to wear and tear in the internal components of the electric valve. We have reduced the watering schedule due to a wet winter, allowing us to conserve water.
• Our Winter pruning plan for the Texas Rangers is on going. This method of pruning Texas ranger involves removing the lower branches and some older wood from deep inside the canopy. This done with the intentions of keeping debris from collecting under the plant, for health, aesthetic purposes, and to reinvigorate flowering. Texas Ranger pruning is done with our regular maintenance schedule, and it is important to prune before the plant starts actively growing.
• Servicing to Deer Spring S. and Brian Cram as follows:
– Decatur, Dorell, Rome and Deersprings was serviced between December 1st and December 12th.
– Aliante Pkwy and Centennial was serviced between December 9th and December 16th.
– Elkhorn and Aliante Pwky. North was serviced between December 16th and December 23rd.
• Landscape renovation and warranty plant replacement was completed for the area(s) of Grand Teton.
February 2026
Maintenance
• Olive tree spraying to reduce fruit growth is on going and will continue for the next three weeks. Weather permitting, the spraying will conclude by the 1st week of March 2026.
• 660 Olive trees in the Master common areas.
• 122 Olive trees in the northern walking trail, between Fields, Treviso, and Seville Etage.
• 78 Olive trees in the southern walking trail, between Seasons, Estates @ Aliante, and San Destin.
• All dormant Lantana Yellow Bells, Bird Of Paradise, and Orange Jubilee in the common areas and walking trails are being trimmed. This work will continue into March.
• 90% of leaves from the fall season have been picked up, the remaining will be completed by months end.
• As part of the fall maintenance, we have also raked 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. Our plan is to complete this task by the 3rd week of March.
• Due to rain and temperatures in December and January, we have seen a rise in weeds through out the community. Rest assured, we are on top of this and are continuing to apply pre-emergent and herbicide as temperatures allow.
Turf Conversion 2022-2025
• Aliante Community sits on 1,900 acres of land. As part of the Development Agreement, Aliante Master was required to set aside 22% of its property for public and recreational purposes.
• 22% = 418 acres, which includes over 40 miles of concrete sidewalk, 109 doggie stations, landscaped common areas @ 60% or more, a landscaped trail system, over 570,000 sq. ft. of live turf (not including the Aliante Golf Course), 5,600+ trees, 860 Olive trees, and 170K +/- shrubs.
• To comply with the Development Agreement, in 20192020 the Aliante HOA installed 40,000+ new shrubs and 1,600+ new trees in the community.
• In 2021, Nevada’s Assembly Bill AB356 was introduced, a bill which highlights the removal of non-functional turf to continues on next page

promote water conservation, offering incentive by way of a monetary rebate program. Starting in 2022, 316K sq. ft. of nonfunctional turf has been removed throughout the Aliante Master Community taking initiative in removing non-functional turf. In late 2025, Gothic completed the final walk through with SNWA for the turf conversions.
• Through the participation in the SNWA Turf Rebate Program, the Aliante Master HOA community received over $530,000 in rebates. Currently, about 259,000 sq. ft. of turf remain, most of which is located within the walking trails throughout Aliante. The planter areas of the Aliante Master community account for about 15,507,360 sq. ft.
Below: general maintenance of leaves and debris removal
Irrigation
• So far this February, we have repaired nine (9) Irritrol 700 Series valves in the Aliante community. These valves feed over a thousand plants and trees.
• Backflow Testing was completed in the month of January.
• A total of 56 Backflow prevention assemblies were inspected across multiple locations within the Aliante Master HOA. All assemblies were tested for proper function, including inlet pressure, check valve performance, and relief valve operation.In all, only three (3) will need assembly replacement and six (6) will need assembly rebuilds.

Aliante: 25 Years in the Making
formation of this 1,900+ acre master-planned community is one of the “crown jewels” of North Las Vegas named Aliante.
Aliante’s conception started in May 2001. Groundbreaking for the community began in August 2002 with over 6,500 homes selling
rapidly in May 2003. In 2004, Aliante was the 6th top selling master planned community in the US and in 2005, it was ranked No. 1 in Southern Nevada for new home closings. The community includes Sun City Aliante 55+ adult living community, surrounded by an 18-hole championship course at Aliante
continued from cover
Golf Club. Shortly after, Nature Discovery Park and the Aliante Library were part of the master community by the end of 2006. The Aliante Casino was the cherry on top of the Aliante Master community expansion which was completed 11/11/2008 and opened at 11:11p.m.
The Aliante community has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of North Las Vegas. Over the last two and half decades, Aliante’s growth has moved through several distinct phases. What began as a few neighborhoods, has expanded into 22 unique residential communities. Two decades later, Aliante is home to over 24,000 residents, and has an initial slate of 7,500 homes, surrounded by 24 miles of scenic trails throughout. The Marketplace was one of the first retail establishments serving the community. Fast forward, and the community is now surrounded by new housing/retail developments, 215 freeway, all served by fire, police and medical facilities within the community.
While the commercial growth in other regions may be somewhat steady, the City of North Las Vegas remains a hotbed for development, with thousands of acres of land still being developed or transferred for future residential and commercial use. Growth near Aliante shows no signs of slowing down, with several commercial and new housing projects breaking ground in 2026.
est growing cities in Nevada with a population increase of roughly 18% since 2020.
The US Census Bureau has ranked North Las Vegas 5th on the list of cities with the greatest numeric population increase nationwide.
The growth we’ve seen in Aliante throughout the past year is a testament to community’s enduring appeal. From 2017-2021 several neighboring residential communities have been built. The growth in population has attracted major retailers into the surrounding area. The city announced earlier this year about the groundbreaking of a new Albertson’s going in on Decatur/Elkhorn opening late 2027, and a Smith’s located on Revere and 215 that has officially broken ground,
The home resale value in the community has seen a jump from 2003 where prices were hovering around $140-$150 per sq ft. to the current market where these homes are selling near $240-$270 per sq ft. Prices saw the most aggressive jump between 2020-2022 where values in North Las Vegas rose by nearly 45% in just a two – year span. As of early 2026 the median home price is approximately $410,000. North Las Vegas is one of the fast-
though an estimated completion date has yet to be announced. For those living closer to Sun City there is another retail pad behind the CVS opening this year. The tenants include Wing Stop, Starbucks, and a few pads for lease. This boom will potentially attract more businesses into the area and create more jobs with an easy commute. This neighborhood remains one of the most dynamic corners of North Las Vegas. We are excited to keep you updated as Aliante continues to evolve, innovate and welcome new neighbors into our community.

• As I mentioned in my preamble the city of north Las Vegas is extending the multi-use beltway trail from Decatur boulevard to Clayton street. The city is requesting the Association sign a waiver of appraisal and just compensation, a temporary construction easement and a pedestrian access easement. The Board voted to send the documents to our legal counsel for review and approval.
• The Board approved an investment recommendation provided by FirstService Financial for our expiring CDs.

Reminder: Rejuvenate Your Plants
Desert landscaping requires ongoing care, and many plants have a natural life expectancy—especially in our harsh climate. Over the past year, the Aliante Master Association has replaced nearly 25,000 aging or overgrown plants, most of which were about 20 years old. These landscape renovations also include updated irrigation to address wear caused by desert conditions.
Homeowners may notice plants that have become woody, overgrown, or unsightly. In many cases, these plants can be rejuvenated through proper pruning, while others MUST be replaced. Rejuvenation pruning— typically done in late winter or early spring—can stimulate healthy new growth and extend a plant’s life. Common desert plants such as Texas sage, oleander, lantana, salvia, and yellow bells often respond well to this process.
is the only option. Before making changes, please consult the Aliante Master Design Guidelines and approved plant list. If not replacing a plant with the exact same species and variety, an ARC application for changes will need to be submitted and approved by Autumn Ridge and the Master Association before any changes are made.
If plants are no longer viable or aesthetically pleasing, replacement
Beginning in April, the Association will start issuing courtesy notices for unsightly or deteriorated plants. These notices are intended to serve as a reminder to address landscaping issues and help maintain the overall appearance of the community.
With thoughtful rejuvenation and timely replacement, our landscapes can remain healthy, attractive, and resilient for years to come.
Some examples of unsightly plants are shown below.
Trade Your Green Grass for Green Cash
SNWA Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program
ONE LOOK at the calendar tells us winter is still chilling in Southern Nevada. But we’ll be thawing out soon—and with the impending arrival of spring comes a great opportunity for you to upgrade your thirsty grass landscape to drip-irrigated, water-efficient plants and trees.
Thanks to the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program (WSL), you’ll get some greenbacks when you replace your grass with colorful, desert-adapted landscaping.
Here’s the details and dollars:
SNWA Rebate: Qualifying homeowners get $5 per square foot for the first 10,000 sq. ft. of grass you upgrade, and $2.50 per sq. ft. after that.
Extra Savings: Las Vegas Valley Water District customers earn an additional $2 per sq. ft., bringing your total rebate to $7 per sq. ft. (up to 10,000 sq. ft.) and $4.50 per sq. ft. thereafter.
Henderson Bonus: Single-family homeowners in Henderson can score an extra $575 rebate.
Tree Bonus: SNWA offers $100 for each new tree
installed (up to 100% canopy coverage). A list of qualifying trees is available at snwa.com.
Why remove your grass? Well, it takes 73 gallons of water each year to irrigate a single square foot of grass; however, each square foot of drip-irrigated landscaping needs only 18 gallons of water per year to stay vibrant and healthy.
By upgrading your grass landscape, you’re not only pitching in to help the community conserve its limited water supply, but you’ll also save even more green on your monthly water bill in the long run.

Spring into Water Savings
SPRING’S ARRIVAL in Southern Nevada signals the start of a new watering season, but warmer weather doesn’t mean your landscape needs maximum water right away.
In effect from March 1 through April 30, the community’s mandatory seasonal watering restrictions limit watering grass with spray irrigation to up to three assigned days per week, for 12 minutes each day, ideally divided into three cycles of four minutes each set one hour apart. And remember, sprinkler watering is prohibited on Sunday.
Drip irrigated plants and trees need much less water and should generally be watered no more than two days per week during spring; consider slowly ramping up your watering schedule as temperatures rise and plants show signs of need. Find your assigned watering days at snwa.com.
Watering outside of your assigned schedule or allowing water to spray or run off onto sidewalks or streets can result in water waste fines. To avoid potential water-waste fees, turn your system off on windy and rainy days and inspect it regularly for leaks.
You also can save water and money by replacing thirsty grass with drip irrigated landscaping through the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s
Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program (WSL). Qualifying single-family property owners can earn a cash incentive of $5 for each square foot of grass upgraded to water-efficient plants and trees up to the first 10,000 square feet converted and $2.50 per square foot thereafter. WSL participants may also qualify for the Tree Enhancement Program, which provides a $100 bonus for each new tree installed. Additional cash rebates may be available through your local water provider, so be sure to check with them for any supplemental incentives.
Outdoor water use in Southern Nevada makes up about 60 percent of all residential water use, and nearly all water waste occurs outdoors. Unlike indoor water, water used outdoors is not reclaimed and returned to Lake Mead, making efficient landscape watering especially important.
By following the seasonal watering restrictions and choosing water efficient landscapes, you can play an important role in conserving Southern Nevada’s most valuable resource. For more landscape watering tips, seasonal watering schedules, and WSL rebate information, visit snwa.com.

Water Leak Email Hot Line
Gothic has set up a 24 hour emergency email address for homeowners to use to report any landscape irrigation leaks as well as any other issues that pertain to the landscape within the Aliante Master Homeowners Association. 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: geovanny.alvarado@gothiclandscape.com
Please note this is for reporting water leaks only.
Violations at a Glance
DUE TO PRIVACY CONCERNS, the Association Management Team is unable to confirm if your neighbor(s) have received a violation. However, it is highly likely that if you are receiving a violation, your neighbor(s) have also been sent a violation if their property is not in compliance with the Governing Documents. Privacy laws dictate which information is to be kept confidential, and compliance issues fall into that category.
We understand it can be frustrating to be an owner who quickly addresses a violation, meanwhile, another home in your community is seemingly doing nothing. The
Management Team cannot force an owner(s) to comply and resolve their violation(s). In fact, some may disregard the letters or emails sent out until they are subject to violation fines.
While the Management Team is limited in advising what stage a home may be in the violation process, the below pie chart shows how many violations and which categories are currently open in our community.
Please note, these violations are specific to the Aliante Master Association and do not include the active violations that may be ongoing in your sub-association.
Aliante Sub-Associations
If you have questions or concerns regarding your specific community, please refer to the following list of sub-associations and contact the appropriate management company. All homeowners are entitled to speak with the listed community manager and/or attend the sub-association’s board meetings.
