THE 2025 State of the City address was held on March 27th, 2025 at the Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa, showcasing the city’s extraordinary progress in our economic development and growth.
While the January/February edition of the Aerial shared the early news of the exciting 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, Mayor Goynes-Brown expanded on this further and highlighted recent stories of success that were centered around the City’s strategic goals.
Below are the highlights provided by Mayor Goynes-Brown:

From the President
Major Modification to the Aliante Development Agreement
The City of North Las Vegas Planning Commission approved the request for a major modification to the Aliante Development Agreement to allow a hotel to be built on the east side of the two (2) office buildings on Nature Park Drive. The location is only a few hundred feet from homes in Autumn Ridge and Springdale and directly across the street from Nature Discovery Park. I attended the meeting and explained to the commissioners that one (1) of their members at that time attended our January 2024 Aliante Board meeting to ask the Board to fight the major modification. The commissioner said he lives in the house that would be the closest to the hotel and that “It would be in my backyard!” He soon sold his house, moved away, and resigned from the Planning Commission. I combed through the Development Agreement the following weekend and found three (3) rules that I think will support the majority of homeowners who oppose the hotel. We have requested assistance from the Aliante Master Association legal counsel. Attorney Ed Song, who helped us get several homes torn down that were under construction adjacent to the homes on the west side of Club Aliante, will be contacting the City Attorney and the City Manager. The City of North Las Vegas agreed to put a park named Orion’s Belt in place of the homes that were torn down.
Any major modification to the Development Agreement must be approved by the City Council. It is scheduled to be introduced at the May 7th, 2025, meeting. No action will be taken at this meeting. The public hearing will be on May 21st, 2025. I will keep you updated as additional information becomes available.
North Las Vegas City Council Members
City of North Las Council Member Scott Black was present at our March meeting and advised the City of North Las Vegas has eighteen (18) new police officers and eight (8) new fire fighters. He also advised that the lights that are purple at the corner of Deer Springs and Aliante Parkway are defective and will be replaced and the crosswalks will be re-striped. Council Member Black represents all Aliante homeowners west of Aliante Parkway.
City of North Las Vegas Council Member Richard Cherchio was present at the April meeting. He and I discussed the problem with the current system allowing non-elected individuals to serve on the Planning Commission and rubber stamp development recommended by the City. You might say they are the Will Rogers of Planning Commissions; they never met an improvement they did not like.

budget categories. As the chart above indicates, as of March 31, 2025, Operating Income slightly exceeded budget, while we experienced slight Operating Expense overruns in 1) landscaping, due to annual clean-out of our tunnels and underground conduits; 2) insurance & taxes, due to payment of 2024 income taxes; and 3) Community Safety, which should improve as we complete the transition from Securitas to GardaWorld, our new security company. Our water usage continues to be concerning. Gothic recently identified and eliminated two unauthorized taps into our HOA main water line as well as repaired a serious break in
We have received the draft 2025 Reserve Study, which will be reviewed by First Service Residential, Finance and Property & Grounds committees, and the Board in the next two months as input to developing the 2026 Operating and Reserve budgets for the Aliante Master and Cost Centers.

City Council Corner
HELLO FRIENDS
Spring is here and we’re full of energy, community spirit, and progress that I’m truly proud to share with you.
I recently had the honor of joining many of you at the ribbon cutting for the Dolores Huerta Resource Center. It was more than just an opening. This was a celebration of what we can achieve together when we prioritize people and put resources where they’re needed most. The center, located at 1737 Hunkins Drive, is going to be a game-changer for so many. It’s a one-stop place where folks can get support with job training, health services, legal support, and more, all in English and Spanish.
Operated by The Just One Project, and named after the extraordinary activist Dolores Huerta, this center stands as a reflection of our shared values: dignity, access, opportunity, and compassion.
Moments like this remind me that my role isn’t just to share updates or policies — it’s to stay connected with you all on a personal level, as someone who’s been part of this community for many years. I don’t see myself speak-
• The Board voted to approve two (2) proposals from Gothic Landscaping to remove and stump grind five (5) large ash trees and replace with a 24’ box Chinese Pistache tree on Deer Springs South, between Aliante Parkway and Aviary, at a total of $6,425.00.
• The Board voted to approve the proposals from Gothic Landscaping to remove and stump grind three (3) large ash trees and replace with a 24’ box Chinese Pistache tree on Elkhorn, west of Aliante Parkway, at a total cost of $3,855.00.
Important Decisions At The April 2025, Meeting
• A roll coat application is recommended to preserve the safety, durability, and aesthetic quality of the poured-in-place surface at the San Destin playground. Applying a roll coat will help prevent premature wear, enhance slip resistance, and extend the overall lifespan of the playground surfacing system. The Board approved a proposal from ParkPro in the amount of $3,895.00 for this roll coat application.
• A roll coat application is also needed for the Fields playground poured-in-place surface. The Board approved a proposal from ParkPro in the amount of $3,002.00 for a roll coat application.
• The Board approved a proposal in the amount of $2,594.76 refresh continues on page 9
ing to constituents. I see myself speaking with friends and neighbors. That relationship means everything to me.
I also had the pleasure of participating in the Ward 4 Community Clean Up in partnership with Republic Services. These Community Cleanup events provide residents with a convenient way to dispose of unwanted bulky items while engaging with our city crews and staff.
Everything we do, from opening new centers to keeping our streets clean, is done with the needs of our community in mind. Your well-being, your voices, and your dreams for this community are what drive me every day.
If you ever want to share an idea, concern, or just catch up, please don’t hesitate to reach out by email at cherchior@cityofnorthlasvegas.com. And if you’d like to stay connected in a more regular way, I’d love for you to sign up for my newsletter so you stay up to date with everything going on in the City of North Las Vegas.
Thank you for allowing me to continue serving you. It’s truly an honor to be a part of the incredible work we’re doing for our community.

Maintenance Report:
March 2025
Maintenance
• After the Texas Ranger rejuvenation on Grand Teton Drive, we started and completed the regular service maintenance on Grand Teton Drive.
• Between Monday, March 7th, and Tuesday, March 11th, maintenance on Decatur Boulevard and Deer Springs Way N.was completed.
• The scheduled maintenance on Grand Teton Drive and Decatur Boulevard included the following:
– Checking the overall condition of the plants and trees.
– Checking the hardscape items, such as doggie stations, benches, trash cans, and retaining walls.
– Checking the irrigation for functionality, leaks, water pressure, plug, and nonworking or missing emitters.
– Removal of debris, such as leaves, branches, and litter.
– Identifying areas of concern, notably dead/dying plants and trees, potential pests, and disease.
– Tree trimming: We raised tree branches to our standard pruning height of 12’ feet.Our goal is to help the health of the tree and give enough clearance for bicycle riders and walkers.
– Selective Shrub Pruning: This process is key in keeping the plants looking their best without interfering with bloom cycles.As the landscape matures, the needs of our plants throughout the community begin to change and we need to customize our approach to pruning and general care of all our plants and trees. As you know, Aliante has very many different species of plants and each species grows at a different rate, and some of those species required trimming at different seasons of the year.
– Weed Control: As always for safety, we follow label instructions and take necessary precautions when handling herbicides.We also take into consideration the environmental impact on surrounding plants and the environment.Some weeds can develop resistance to certain herbicides, requiring the use of different types or methods such as manual weed removing, which is very effective in most areas.Weather permitting, we will continue to apply pre-emergent.
– Mineral Build Up Removal: We continued to rake the decorative rock in these areas to help disperse the
mineral build up that remains on surfaces of the decorative rock and decomposed granite.This powderywhite substance that accumulates on the surface of the decorative rock does not compromise the health of the trees and plants, these mineral deposits are just an aesthetic problem that can easily be solved by raking the rock.
• In the second week of March, we raised the mow height on the turf from 3” inches to 3.5” inches.The results are longer roots reaching soil nutrients and reducing the chance for weed germination in the turf.
• In the third week of March, the flowers on all the pots throughout Aliante will be replaced.The annual flowers that we will be using for this application are multi color pansies.
• During the week of March 24th, we will be applying Q4 Turf Herbicide to reduce the growth of nutsedge weed in the turf.
• On April 14th, we will start the arroyo maintenance between Autumn Ridge/Springdale, as well as the arroyo in San Destin.
April 2025
Maintenance
• Trimming is on schedule in the Aliante common areas and walking trails. Below are the areas that have been trimmed between April 1st and 15th, as well as our future trimming:
• Walking Trail 59 North
• Walking Trail 62 - San Destin Ravenna and San Destin
• Aliante from the 215 to Grand Teton
• Elkhorn from Aviary to Aliante
• Elkhorn from Aliante Pkwy. to Clayton
• Clayton from Deer Springs to the 215
• Centennial from Clayton to Aliante Pkwy.
• Centennial from Aliante Pkwy. to Aviary West
• We will continue to keep on eye on the growth in the center medians to prevent any obstruction to the line of sight.
• We will fertilize all remaining turf areas with 15-15-15 with a blend of trimec for weeds in the turf areas.

Saving Water is a Cool Thing to Do . . . Even During the Summer Heat
THE DOG DAYS of summer are about to heat things up in Southern Nevada, which means it’s the perfect time to learn how you can cool off your water use during our hottest months of the year—and keep your landscape healthy at the same time.
While rising temperatures may tempt you to overwater your landscape, the truth is that trees and plants can thrive and remain vibrant in our scorching summer heat with less water than we may think.
Drip-irrigated trees and plants can stay healthy when watered on a recommended fourday-a-week schedule in summer.
As temperatures rise and weather conditions dictate, slowly “ramp up” the number of days you water per week.
For grass, run sprinklers for a total of 12 minutes per watering day, set in three four-minute cycles, spaced one hour apart. That’s all your grass needs.
Grass can be watered up to six days a week in summer; no watering on Sundays.
As a reminder, the community’s mandatory summer watering restrictions are in effect from May 1 through Aug. 31. During the summer months, sprinkler irrigation is prohibited between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., when water can be lost to intense heat and high winds. Watering during these prohibited hours or allowing water to spray or flow off your property could result in a costly water-waste fine—and nobody wants that.
For more summer landscape care tips and other ways to save water and money on your monthly bill, visit snwa.com.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Patrol
HAVE YOU SPOTTED small, white, circular tags in your neighborhood? These scan tags were installed by our new community patrol, GardaWorld, all around our community. They are meant to serve as checkpoints for their security officers; in order to complete their patrols, they must step out of their vehicles and scan these tags to document their route(s). Since the March 31st transition, there have been over 9,000 scans!
While this edition will include a few additional highlights from Securitas prior to this transition, any items from April 2025 and on will be for GardaWorld security officers.
Check out a few highlights from March and April! March 2025
Security Officer Arellanes encountered a white, single cab Chevy parked at the end of Citril Finch. While Security Officer Arellanes was approaching the vehicle, the driver immediately vacated the area without contact and was last seen heading North Decatur.
Security Officer Arellanes encountered a blue Kia parked at the end of Citril Finch. Upon approach, the driver observed Security Officer Arellanes approaching and sped off, leaving the area last seen heading North on Aviary.
Security Officer Andrews received a call from a resident reporting a water leak from a home on Humble Hollow Place. Security Officer Arellanes and Security Officer Andrews responded to the home and observed water coming from the garage. Security Officer Arellanes attempted to make contact with the resident, but received no response. Security Officer Arellanes made contact with the North Las Vegas Water Operations and was advised a person would be out to shut the water off. The reporting resident was updated.
Security Officer Spence observed a North Las Vegas Police Officer attempting to assist a broken down motorist on Aliante Parkway near the Walgreens. Security Officer Spence provided assistance in moving the vehicle out of the flow of traffic. The North Las Vegas Police Officer was very appreciative of the assistance.

This past weekend our neighbors had yet another massive party at their house, complete with an event tent, DJ, speakers, lights, etc. In the past, these events have gone well past midnight, [the noise] were loud enough for our windows to rattle and keep our kids up, and lights strobe into our rooms. The previous company never did anything other than say “turn it down” and rarely make return visits. This new company communicated effectively with us and were able to convince the neighbors
to keep the noise quiet enough that we could go to bed at a decent time. Every person we talked to from Friday afternoon when we noticed the tent go up through Saturday night was absolutely amazing and professional. I just wanted to make sure whoever was in charge of the people working the north of 215 group of the security that their people were absolutely awesome!”
Security Officer Andersen was preparing for his patrol when he noticed a man in his car stopped in the middle lane of Aviary Parkway. Officer Andersen offered assistance with the vehicle; the man accepted and advised the vehicle would not start. With the assistance of Security Officer Dupree, the vehicle was safely moved, the man contacted AAA for towing assistance. Security Officer Wozniak was approached by a family at Aviary Park requesting assistance in finding their grandchild. Security Officer Dupree arrived at the park to provide additional search assistance. Both officers located the grandchild and contacted the family, as well as NLVPD, to update the teenager had been found. Do Not Remove these Security Checkpoint Tags from Poles.

Understanding Master and Sub-Associations
IN A COMMUNITY governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), residents may encounter terms like “Master Association” and “Sub-Association.” While these terms may seem confusing, they are essential to understanding how the HOA structure works in multi-faceted communities. Whether you live in a large development with several neighborhoods or a condominium complex, this article will help clarify the roles and responsibilities of both Master and Sub Associations.
What is a Master Association?
A Master Association is the overarching governing body responsible for managing and maintaining common areas and services that affect the entire community. It typically operates in larger communities that are made up of different neighborhoods, developments, or even different types of properties such as single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. The Master Association handles issues that apply to the entire community, rather than just a singular neighborhood. Key Responsibilities of a Master Association:
Common Area Maintenance: The Master Association is in charge of maintaining landscaping in the common areas, as well as shared spaces/elements, such as concrete, lighting, and the walking trails.
Community-wide Rules: It enforces rules and regulations that affect all residents, ensuring uniformity and maintaining the community’s appearance and safety.
Master Insurance: The Master Association typically holds insurance policies that cover the common areas, helping protect against potential liabilities.
What is a Sub-Association?
A Sub-Association, on the other hand, governs a specific neighborhood or portion of the community. These are typically smaller HOAs within a larger Master Association. Sub-Associations often have their own set of rules, services, and maintenance duties for their specific residents, but they are still governed by the Master Association’s larger framework.
In other words, a Sub-Association operates as a smaller, independent HOA that manages the day-to-day needs of its residents but still answers to the overarching Master Association.
Key Responsibilities of a Sub-Association:
Neighborhood Maintenance: The Sub-Association focuses on the upkeep of shared spaces within its own neighborhood, such as vehicle entrance gates, pools, clubhouses, when applicable.
Local Rules and Regulations: Sub-Associations enforce rules that
apply specifically to their neighborhood, which could cover things like parking restrictions or architectural guidelines.
Financial Management: Sub-Associations typically have their own budget and fees to cover maintenance and services that are unique to their area.
How Do Master and Sub Associations Work Together?
In communities with both Master and Sub Associations, there is a relationship of cooperation and sometimes shared responsibility. Here’s how they interact:
Assessments and Fees: Homeowners in Sub-Associations generally pay both Sub-Association fees (for neighborhood-level services) and Master Association fees (for larger community services). The Master Association fees typically cover larger community amenities and the common areas, while the Sub-Association fees are directed towards the maintenance of specific neighborhood spaces.
Shared Services: While Sub-Associations handle the immediate needs of their residents, the Master Association often provides broader services like security, landscaping for the entire community, or even organizing community events that involve everyone.
Governance Structure: Each Sub-Association has its own governing board, which focuses on the needs and interests of its specific neighborhood. However, they must also work with the Master Association to ensure their actions are aligned with the broader community’s goals and regulations.
Why Does This Structure Matter?
Understanding the difference between Master and Sub-Associations is crucial for homeowners, as it helps clarify where their assessments go, who to contact for different issues, and which rules apply to their specific living area. It also ensures that residents understand the bigger picture when it comes to how the community is managed.
In a complex community, both the Master and Sub-Associations play essential roles in maintaining property values, enhancing the community’s quality of life, and making sure that the community functions smoothly. By working together, they can ensure that the needs of individual neighborhoods and the entire community are met.
Whether you’re moving into a new HOA-managed community or are already a resident, it’s important to familiarize yourself with both the Master and Sub Associations’ rules and responsibilities. This knowledge can save you time, clarify your financial obligations, and help you be a more informed and involved community member.
Ready to Upgrade Your Home?
Here’s What You Need to Know About
Planning to make exterior changes or improvements to your home? Be sure to submit an Architectural Request Form (ARC Form) for approval by the Architectural Review Committee before you start! The ARC Committee is comprised of homeowners in the community who volunteer their time to review submitted modification plans to ensure they follow the Aliante Master Association Design Guidelines. These modifications include, but are not limited to, landscaping changes, pool/ spa installation, patio covers, and more.
If you are thinking of making an improvement on the outside of your home and/or yard (including rear yards that are not visible to the common areas), an ARC Form must be submitted to your sub-association, if applicable, and the Aliante Master Association. ARC Forms can be submitted online via SmartWebs, which can be accessed from your community website.
Once approved by the sub-association, your ARC Form will need to be submitted/ provided to the Aliante Master Association. For homeowners living in a Cost Center,
Getting an Expedited Approval
please submit your application directly to the Master Association. At the Master Association level, the review period can be up to 30 days. The more complete the original submission, the faster the approval.
Please note, construction on any project cannot commence until approval from the Aliante Master Association is received.
Here are some tips to help prevent delays in your submitted ARC Form:
• Provide a detailed list of all projects being completed. If there is an element on your drawing not listed as a project this will cause a request for more information and delay your approval.
• Provide a scaled plot plan with dimensions that clearly show the proposed location(s) and dimensions of the request modification(s).
• A list of the plant(s) being installed, if applicable. Please note, the plants must be from the approved plant list.
• City permits, if applicable.
Here Comes the Sun!
SUMMER and POOL SEASON is HERE!
However, that doesn’t give homeowners 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 witnessed doing this activity via their penalty 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!
• Provide details on what materials are to be used, including their coloring, if applicable.
• Any additional details that may make your application more readily understandable, such as how the final modification will look, or function are incredibly helpful and always welcome. Pictures of how the area currently looks are very helpful.
• Try to limit the number of documents uploaded by combining documents in one document before uploading and avoiding uploading the same document more than once. Having to switch back and forth between many documents can lead to confusion and unnecessary requests for more information.
• The Aliante Indemnity Agreement must be properly executed and signed by the homeowner and the contractor. If the homeowner is doing the work, they need to state this in the contractor section.
For questions or further guidance, please contact your management team. We’re here to assist you!
SNWA Programs Help Combat Heat Islands
CLIMATE EXPERTS predict that by mid-century Southern Nevada will experience more than 100 days a year with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. This is expected to increase urban heat island conditions where surfaces and structures like block walls, asphalt, sidewalks and buildings radiate heat that has been absorbed throughout the day. This causes overnight temperatures to remain high, allowing temperatures to climb faster each day.
While the urban heat island (UHI) effect is not unique to Southern Nevada, experts agree that shade from trees and plants is one of the most effective strategies to reduce its impact. Unfortunately, some existing tree species in our valley such as the Afghan pine, purple leaf plumb, and others will struggle to adapt to the extended heat conditions expected in the future.
As a result, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) launched a Tree Enhancement Program that offers $100 for every
new, qualifying tree planted during a grass conversion project. The tree rebate is an additional incentive for property owners replacing grass landscapes under the SNWA’s Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program (WSL).
Since 2023, more than 5,000 new trees have been planted through the program. Once mature, these new trees will add two million square feet of additional canopy coverage to our community.
The SNWA has also funded the installation of 1,000 new trees planted in underserved areas of the community in partnership with ImpactNV, a local non-profit dedicated to enhancing Southern Nevada’s long-term sustainability.

Aliante Sub-Associations
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 own-
er(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.
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.
