March:

Hello Residents! New residents – Welcome to Sun City Aliante.

A few weeks ago, I had to inspect the construction of the pony walls built on the back patios of homes abutting the golf course The only way I could accomplish this task was to actually walk on the golf course as I did not have a golf cart available. I was reluctant to do this, because I was concerned about getting hit with an errant golf ball.

I had to break down this task into two inspections. I walked around for thirty minutes in the morning and again in mid-afternoon. On both occasions, I observed a few residents walking leisurely and admiring the view At one point, I encountered a small dog walking aimlessly without a leash and no owner was to be found. I waited awhile to make sure the dog did not run toward the busy street and get hit by a car. It was only when the dog heard its owner calling its name, about 100 yards away from me, that it ran towards her

Residents, I implore you, please don't use the golf course as a walking trail or a dog park. It is only a matter of time before somebody gets severely injured because they are on a golf cart path or on the actual turf. Moreover, I would hate to receive a report that your pet is injured or killed by a golf cart, a car, or another dog, because you are allowing your pet to roam freely without a leash. Please be courteous and respectful.

I also want to clarify the best phone number to use for certain situations. According to the North Las Vegas Police Communications Division, the non-emergency number (633-3111) is used to report a crime that has happened when no one needs an ambulance and there were no weapons involved.

Examples are:

• Your house or car was broken into.

• To report a lost or found animal.

• Your runaway child has returned home.

• To report vandalism and the suspects are gone.

• To report a noise complaint.

• To report a runaway or missing adult that does not need special care.

Please use this number for non-emergency situations rather than dialing 911. For other important phone numbers, an insert enclosed in every Breeze magazine has a list of these phone numbers, such as NLV Street Lights Out, NLV Water Shut Off, and NLV Water Waste.

Friendly Reminder: Garbage and recycle bins may be placed outside for the collection no more than 12 hours prior to the scheduled collection time and must be removed within 12 hours after In addition, trash and recycling containers should either be stored in the garage, outside on the utility side of the garage or in the rear of the Dwelling Unit, and should be screened from view of the street, neighboring Lots and the Common Area.

You will receive a new Design Guidelines in the mail. I suggest you review this document before you make any changes to the exterior of your property When you are ready to move forward with any project, please make sure you submit an application to the Architectural Review Committee for approval.

Discover the diverse opportunities of living at Sun City Aliante and embrace all that it has to offer. The Lifestyle Department strives to provide you with events that enrich your quality of life and adds to your cherished memories.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and welcome spring! Debbie Kent

Hello Sun City Residents,

I want to start off by acknowledging that February was Black History Month, and I am so proud of the City of North Las Vegas. Our city is rich in culture, and it is so important to acknowledge the t r i u m p h s o f o n e a n o t h e r a n d c e l e b r a t e o u r diversity! On that note, I am excited to share all the wonderful things our City has been up to and am looking forward to the many activities taking place this month.

First, I want to congratulate the North Las Vegas Police Department on the recent graduation of 16 recruits at the Vegas Valley Police Academy. The graduates completed an intense six-month-long academy that introduces them to the basics of policing. The academy establishes qualifications, training and standards for Nevada's peace officers; provides instruction on local, state, and federal laws; develops leadership skills; and emphasizes customer service and community engagement. The newly-minted police officers will undergo thorough field training and evaluation for the next six to eight months and will serve constituents from two North Las Vegas police stations.

Moving forward, I am thrilled to share that CNLV has been on an economic development streak and has recently opened several new restaurants, Born & Raised and Salad & Go, officially broke ground on Arvato which conducts data supply for Meta (the company behind Facebook), and opened the warehouses for Boxable and Moen (one of the largest faucet and fixtures brand in North America)! I am so grateful for the economic success in North Las Vegas and am excited for their businesses to serve our residents.

I want to mention that I will be visiting the Del Webb community located on Losee and Centennial to attend the North Las Vegas Fire Department's quarterly fire symposium to speak about kitchen safety, blood pressures and emergency preparedness. These symposiums give the community a chance to connect with our Fire Department and get to know a little more about the ways they protect us each day I am honored to attend this quarterly event with them, and look forward to sharing all that North Las Vegas Fire Department has been up to!

Finally, on January 29 the City of North Las Vegas dedicated a tree and memorial plaque to commemorate the lives lost in the terrible accident that took place one year ago and claimed the lives of a North Las Vegas family as well as two others. At this memorial City leaders, affected family members, crash survivors and the community gathered to honor the space as a place where family and friends can enjoy a peaceful place of remembrance for years to come. I am so sorry to all those affected; you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for another exciting month, and as always, remember: 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 still am encouraging everyone to review the U.S. Postal Service's tips on mail safety and want to remind 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
