Hello April!

A personal favorite month of mine – I hope all of you April babies born on this awesome month enjoy the blooming flowers, light-hearted pranks (April Fools' Day), siblings (National Siblings Day, April 10), and your lovable pet (National Pet Day, April 11) April is also National Autism Awareness M o n t h . A g r e a t r e m i n d e r t o p r o m o t e a u t i s m awareness; inclusion, self-determination, kindness, and empathy towards those with ASD.

Springtime is here, and for me, that means spring cleaning. “Out with the old,” as they say. The Aliante Master will have the community garage sale event on April 1-2. Take advantage of this time to rid yourselves of things that you are ready to part with. Another person may gladly pay to take it off your hands. If you are getting rid of unwanted things in your home, it could also be because you are moving out.

If you are selling your home, please let your real estate agents know that “For Sale” or “Open House” signs should only be placed on your property No other signs should be placed anywhere in the community even for directional purposes. Securitas Patrol will remove these signs without any notice. All “For Sale” or “For Rent” signs should have an added sign indicating that we are an AGE 55+ Community Please remember that the entirety of the dwelling unit must be rented, not a section or portions of the unit. All lease agreements must be on a year-to-year basis.

We are sorry to see you go, but wherever you may end up, we hope you are happy According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 616,577 housing units in Nevada Common Interest Communities (CIC). The CIC housing units represent 47% of the State's housing units. I believe this number will continue to grow as more housing developers build communities across the state. By 2040, the community association housing model is expected to become the most common form of housing.

The revised Design Guidelines were mailed last month and are also available online. Please review it at your convenience. One of the key changes in the design guidelines pertain to security gates. If you are planning any projects on the outside of your home, please remember to submit a Home Improvement Application to the Architectural Review Committee before you begin to make any changes. You can find the form on the website under “Documents” and “Commonly Used Forms.” If you have questions, please stop by the administrative office or email, suncityaliante@fsrnevada.us.

With the warmer weather coming, you may be ready to head out on vacation. Do you own a Recreational Vehicle (RV)? RVing is great fun. Please remember there are restrictions as to where and how long you can park your RV According to the North Las Vegas City Council, RV parking on residential neighborhoods is limited to 48 hours. RV Parking is available to residents only in the Community Center Parking Lot on a limited basis. Resident parking is not to exceed four times per year for 48 hours each time in a designated area only The owner's identification and proof of insurance will be checked. All policies are subject to change as deemed necessary

Come meet your neighbors and enjoy refreshments and door prizes!

Trish Williamson Editor, The Breeze

Hello Sun City Residents,

Happy April! Spring has sprung, and I hope you all found yourselves lucky in the month of March, and I wish you and your family all a safe and happy Easter and Passover I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year. I am excited to share with you all of the exciting things going on in our City of North Las Vegas and look forward to what's to come.

First, I want to share that the City of North Las Vegas Library District will extend their hours starting this month! Starting Monday, April 3, the Aliante and Alexander Libraries will extend their hours of operation on Wednesdays and Thursdays to 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. Please take advantage of this extension and all of the things our libraries have to offer

Secondly, I want to announce that the City of North Las Vegas will host a Veterans Job Fair on April 19 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Veterans & Community Resource Center located at 3090 E. Centennial Pkwy., N Las Vegas, NV 89086. If you or someone you know is a veteran looking for work opportunities, please share this information and stop by our job fair

Last month, I had the opportunity to join the City of North Las Vegas' Fire Department for their quarterly symposium to educate the Del Webb community on the importance of safety, healthcare, and emergency preparedness. For m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n , p l e a s e v i s i t https://www.facebook.com/CityofNorthLasV egas and view the video we shared!

Another exciting event I got to get out and participate in was Nevada Reading Week! For more than 30 years, Nevada Reading Week has been celebrated across the Silver State in March to promote a life-long love of reading. I was thrilled to be able to participate and read to first through third-grade students at Jesse D. Scott and Frederick Watson Elementary Schools. Reading is so important to our students, and I am grateful to our educators for teaching this important skill each and every day

Finally, I want to applaud not only the staff and volunteers from the City of North Las Vegas but everyone else who helped to put on our State of the City address 2023! This address is a once a year opportunity that allows our City to connect with the public directly and share all the wonderful things we have done, plan to do, and aim to achieve. I am so proud of what we have accomplished and was honored to be a part of the address again this year

As I say every time, remember to keep your dogs and pets safe during this cold winter season and follow our Ordinance No. 3053, which requires animals to be properly sheltered and cared for while being kept outdoors.

P.S. I encourage everyone to review the U.S. Postal Service's tips on mail safety and remind you if you see a mail thief at work, or if you believe your mail was stolen, call police immediately, then call Postal Inspectors at 877-876-2455.

Yours in service,

Richard Cherchio Ward 4 Councilman

MAIL THEFT!

T h e U S P o s t a l I n s p e c t i o n S e r v i c e has seen an increase i n l e t t e r c a r r i e r robberies. Most of these robberies are c o m m i t t e d b y criminals who want to obtain Arrow and Modified Arrow lock (MAL) keys. Mail t h i e v e s u s e t h o s e k e y s t o s t e a l m a i l from secured mail containers. In turn, thieves often use stolen mail to commit financial crimes, including altering checks to commit check fraud.

If your mail has been stolen, please report the incident to the Postal I o o n l i n e a n d v i s i t http://postalinspectors.uspls.gov.

Here are some helpful hints:

• Do not leave mail in your community mailbox overnight. This is usually when thieves attack.

• Deposit mail at a Post Office or blue Postal Service collection box.

• If you see suspicious activity around your mailbox, please call your local police and the Postal Inspection Service.

• You may be entitled to certain information and services as a result of your victimization. Call the Inspection Service for Publication 308.

Mail Theft is a Federal Crime investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Rewards are payable for information leading to the arrest and conviction of violators.
