The City is booming” claimed Mitch Fox during the opening of the 24th Annual State of the City Address to a capacity filled ballroom at the Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel on January 29th. As the driving force for change, the Mayor expressed his enthusiasm in making North Las Vegas a city in its own right and not just a suburb of Las Vegas. With improvements to Nature Discovery Park, along with new developed properties like the ER@Aliante, the addition of a new school, Somerset Academy, and two new master planned communities, the Aliante community has seen the cities hard work in action.

Our social committee is preparing to put the finishing touches on the BREAKING INTO SPRING event planned for Saturday April 25th. Our spring event will provide an opportunity to talk with various vendors about spring/ summer planting, painting both inside and outside, as might be needed, and more importantly home safety. We will continue to have many fun things to keep the kids occupied, but we will provide an opportunity to meet and talk with local vendors about spring projects. Spring offers us the opportunity to undertake many of those projects we have put off during the previous six or so months.

Community Garage Sale April 18th and 19th from 7am to 3pm. Do you have things around the house collecting dust? Now is the time to get rid of those unwanted items. The Aliante Master Association will do the advertising and put out signs for prospective buyers. All you have to do is price your valuables and wheel them to the driveway and then you can count your cash. The Master has obtained a garage sale permit for the entire community. Please note: Each gated community will be given the opportunity to participate by opening their gates during these times. This information will be faxed to the individual management co. Please check with your management company to find out if your community has opted to participate by having your gates opened.

Aliante Garage Sale Guidelines Did you know that according to the Aliante Master Associations Rules and Regulations, Section 5.2, that Garage Sale signs are prohibited? Garage sales are prohibited other than the community-wide garage sales, which the Master Board shall organize bi-annually, they are currently scheduled for the second Saturday and Sunday of April and the second Saturday and Sunday of October each year. The Master Board not only posts signs throughout the Community but also obtains the necessary permits from the City of North Las Vegas.

Don’t Do It, Yet! According to the conditions, covenants, and restrictions signed by every homeowner, all improvements on a homeowner’s property require prior, written consent of the master architectural review committee and, if in a sub-association, the sub-association’s architectural review committee as well.

ARC WARNING

Improvements include, but are not limited to: 1. Patios 2. Patio covers 3. Pools and spas 4. Trampolines, swing sets, and other playground equipment

Upcoming Board Meetings

Did you know that if you have a garage sale outside of the above outlined dates you are not only in violation of the Rules and Regulations but may be breaking the law? According to the City of North Las Vegas, Nevada, Code of Ordinances, Chapter 5.21, no household may have more than two garage/yard sales at any location during a twelve month period. Did you know that according to these same ordinances that signs advertising garage or yard sales are prohibited on any public property? Did you know that the penalties for violation of the City ordinance, upon conviction thereof a person may be punished by a fine of up to but not more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in the city detention center for a term not to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment? Don’t risk it! If you’re desperate to sell unwanted items look into renting a booth at a local flea market rather than violating your Communities Rules and Regulations and breaking the law.

City Council Corner WHAT A TIME TO LIVE IN NORTH LAS VEGAS!

Every January, I report to our residents and business partners about how our city is doing and where we are heading. 2019 was a banner year, and 2020 is shaping up to be a breakout year! By design, we are building a thriving city that’s diversifying the Southern Nevada economy and bringing new industries and opportunities to drive our state into the new decade and beyond. Our team has been working tirelessly to make this happen, and it is paying off. Here’s the proof: In 2019 alone, we recruited more than 7 million square feet of new industry in logistics, robotics and manufacturing, creating more than 4,000 direct and indirect jobs. Those numbers are incredible, but it gets better. There is another 14 million square feet of development under construction now, and even more on the horizon. In North Las Vegas, we do business at two speeds: fast and faster! This has positioned the City as a place where major companies want to do business, and a place where people want to live. One year into office, I made a seemingly impossible goal: Bring 100 million square feet of development to North Las Vegas. People said it couldn’t be done. I said, hide and watch! Since 2014, 67 million square feet of new development has come to North Las Vegas, with an economic impact of $5 billion — with a “B!” That has brought 5,700 direct and 28,000 indirect new jobs to North Las Vegas! As a result, the value of our city has skyrocketed. When I took office in 2013, the assessed value of all of the assets inside the City of North Las Vegas — from the pipes in the ground to the roads and the parks — was about $18 billion. Less than seven years later, we have increased that value to $22.5 billion — an increase of more than 25 percent! Now that’s a return on investment! We are not stopping there. Construction is underway on a water line to Apex, and the Southern Nevada Water Authority is considering investing more than $250 million to add additional infrastructure in the area, including building 18 miles of water line, three pumping stations and multiple reservoirs. This will support what we expect to be dozens of individual industrial parks within the larger Apex Industrial Park and billions of dollars of industry. This is the solution our region has been seeking for decades! Soon, we’ll be vetting business partners to develop our 150-acre Job Creation Zone next to the VA hospital as a health care city. This intelligence cluster will provide desperately needed medical resources to the valley and will serve as a resource to the adjacent VA hospital and the 10,000+ patients it serves every month. This will make North Las Vegas a major player in fulfilling the health care needs not only of our city’s residents but for all of Southern Nevada and the surrounding region. We’ll have a master developer in place before the end of the year.

So, what does all of this mean to our residents? More employment opportunities. Rising home values. And a higher level of service. All three of our library branches once again are open 6 days a week now. Construction will begin this year on a new library campus and educational park in downtown North Las Vegas. Craig Ranch Regional Park, the crown jewel of our 33-park system, will grow by 20 acres. Our police and fire departments are adding more first responders on the streets, and we’re hiring citywide to increase customer service. One more major service is returning in 2020 as well. When I came into office, our jail services were being contracted with the City of Las Vegas. While the partnership has helped our city save money, it has not benefited our community as a whole. Our officers have to commute across town to book people, our courts are unable to offer alternative sentencing, and our inmates lack access to critical services to help them integrate back into the community when they are released. Our staff is accomplishing the very difficult task of starting up a jail from almost scratch. The North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center will offer services and foster community partnerships to increase public safety for families, business and all who are in our community when it opens this summer. The City of North Las Vegas used to be considered an underdog. Now, we are recognized as a model of innovation, an economic driver, and the city that is leading the diversification of Southern Nevada’s economy. You trusted us, and we delivered! Our promise to bring infrastructure to Apex: Being accomplished as we speak. Our commitment to turning the finances of North Las Vegas around: Achieved. Our vow to increase services and amenities for residents and customers: Delivered. We have kept our promise to transform our city. The vision that we laid out seven years ago has come to be. The prosperity we envisioned and worked so hard for is happening. The future is now. The future is here. The future is North Las Vegas. I’m glad you’re here to see what’s next! John Lee Mayor, North Las Vegas

March-April

Maintenance Report: December/January 2020 Maintenance • Fall Clean up. • Selective pruning on certain plants. • Decomposed Granite maintenance (rake the DG to break up the buildup of minerals) • Pre-emergent was applied to reduce weed growth. • Flowers were installed in monument pots. • Continued cleanup of leaves throughout the Aliante common areas & walking trials. • 9-9-9 fertilizer to be applied to the turf in February. The fertilizer will improve the alkaline soil. It will help the turf overcome Chlorosis ( a mineral condition that causes the turf to turn yellow due to lack of iron) • Raised sidewalks were identified with orange tape throughout the community so that is visible to pedestrians. (a proposal to have those areas grind down or replace will be reviewed) • The culverts in the walking trails were cleaned up.

New Development Construction Gothic Landscape has been in constant communication with the construction companies who have been doing work in the Aliante community installing electrical boxes, telephone boxes and fiber optic cable. Below is an estimate of what each of the companies will be paying for the repairs caused to the Aliante landscape. Gothic will continue to stay on top of any company who comes to do ANY type of work in the Aliante Master community. Gothics commitment is to protect the investment the homeowners put into their community as well as to protect Gothic’s investment in installing the landscape. Team Fishel: Clover Cable: IES Underground:

Irrigation • Due to the cooler weather and the amount of rain we got in the last month the timers have been off. • Gothic continues to probe of the soil constantly to determine if an area needs to be manually watered. • Gothic has replaced about 15 valves between December 2019 & January 2020

A Word from the Vice President AS YOUR BOARD LIAISON to the Social Committee I

wanted to share some exciting details regarding our upcoming Breaking into Spring Fair at Deer Springs Park, on Saturday, April 25, 2020, from 1-4pm. We are expanding our outreach and interest to the Aliante community with this event. Our Breaking into Spring Fair will continue to include many fabulous rides and games for the children such as TWO zip lines, TWO bungie rides plus MANY more exciting rides and activities for all ages. We will be providing FREE popcorn, cotton candy and popsicles for all. There will also be a food truck available to purchase food. In addition, this year’s spring event will include a significant emphasis on Home, Health And Safety. We will be featuring vendors that will address home improvement, healthy lifestyles and safety issues. They will be available for you to ask questions and if you choose, sign up for their services. We are anticipating between 10 - 20 vendors in attendance! We will also have door prizes that will reflect this emphasis.

Aliante Gives Back! As you know our community events are free, but this year we wanted to give our community an opportunity to give back. We are sponsoring a Food Drive! We are requesting that each family attending the Breaking into Spring Fair, donate food items such as can goods and boxed goods. We will be donating all of the food to charities that feed the needy. The Social Committee is devoted to providing the Aliante community memorable events. We are working on developing events that will include Black Canyon River Rafting experience, volunteer opportunities and much more! More details will follow. We still have a few openings on the Social Committee. If you would like to join us please come into FirstService office and fill out an interest form. Meetings are the 1st Monday of every month at 5:00p.m. at the FirstService office. Come and join us! Janice De Rosier Aliante Master Board Vice President

Update from District 3 FELLOW RESIDENTS,

in my previous article, I wrote about my three priorities for the year; Improve Security, Act Responsibly, and Foster Community. I am proud to say we are making inroads on all three fronts. Improve Security: The Safety Committee and I have been working to gather crime statistics for our neighborhood and the City of North Las Vegas. We are in the process of compiling that data and expect to publish our findings in the next Aerial. At first glance, it appears that crime is on the rise, or at least that seems to be the popular opinion. Unfortunately, some of the data indicate this is true. The city of Las Vegas is working on gentrifying the downtown area and have taken aggressive steps to remove or relocate their homeless population. Our information leads us to believe they are heading towards North Las Vegas. You should not fear walking around our community, but, I do suggest you remain cautious when in our parks. I believe this trend reaffirms that Aliante Master Security is more critical now than ever. I asked the Safety Committee to evaluate our current Post Orders and suggest amendments to the

Board to mitigate our security concerns. I expect the Board to vote on the new security contract at the February meeting. We will then relay the new Post Orders to our security company. I have also asked the Safety Committee to consider the security budget moving forward as we prepare the 2021 spend plan. The Safety and Finance Committees will be honest brokers to the board regarding security measures and spending. I appreciate the efforts of both committees and look forward to their input. Act Responsibly: The board resolved to fix the broken slides at the playground as well as many other issues that detract from our property values. We have also worked to collect on the debts owed to the Association. In this effort, I must report we have to replace the large pots that adorn the entryways to our community. Not to worry. We have a plan. Thanks to prudent investing by the previous Board, we have enough money in reserve for the anticipated cost. I am sure we will all be proud of the results. Foster Community: In my last report to you, I mentioned I was excited about the fresh ideas our Social Committee had for 2020, and they did not disappoint. They are working hard on the Spring Festival and it’s going to be a good one. They are put-

ting together a Home, Health and Safety Fair and are soliciting vendors from around the community for support. I also heard they might be giving away a BBQ grill as well. I have volunteered to assist, won’t you join me? This event guarantees to be fun for the whole family, and educational too. I look forward to this opportunity to meet more of my neighbors and foster the spirit of community. See you there. Zach Weiderstein Aliante Master Treasurer

Carson Corner: A Legislative Update HI, I’M DANIELE MONROE-MORENO and I repre-

sent you, the residents of Assembly District 1 in the Nevada State Legislature. I also proudly serve you as the Assistant Majority Leader of the Nevada Assembly. I am so excited to have this column which is the first in a series to keep you informed of legislative issues that are in Carson City. In this first article, I’d like to introduce myself and provide you with a brief orientation of what legislators do. I have lived in Assembly District 1 for twenty-five years and I am in my second term as your Assemblywoman. Prior to running for office, I had the honor to serve our community as a Corrections Officer with the City of North Las Vegas Police Department, retiring in 2016 after 20 plus years of service. In our retirement, my husband Gary and I enjoy spoiling our six grandchildren, much to the dismay of our five adult children. It can be confusing, the various levels of government, elected offices and titles, so here is a very brief summary. We have Local Elected Officials (Mayor, City Council), County Officials (County Commissioners), State Offices (Assembly, Senate, Governor and other Constitutional Officers such as Attorney General, Secretary of State, etc.) and Federal Delegation (House of Representatives, Senators and President). The Nevada Legislature only deals with State laws, regulations and the State Budgets. Our Legislative body meets every other year in Carson

City, Nevada for 120 days. The next session will begin in February 2021, following the November 2020 elections. State Senators are elected to serve four-year terms and State Assembly Members are elected for two-year terms. When not in session, the work does not stop. There are a number of Interim Committees, of which I serve on six, and have the responsibilities of chairing three. You can stay informed and follow the activities of your legislature by logging onto www.leg.state.nv.us. Here you can get a calendar of meetings, track legislation and share your opinions. As your Assemblywoman, I spend a lot of time meeting with constituents, community groups and state agencies to determine the issues important to the residents of Assembly District 1 and the rest of the state. I also organize community events to inform residents about issues and get input from my constituents. I look forward to seeing you at one of my Coffee & Conversation events, a forum for community involvement, or at one of the Pop-Up Sisterhood Happy Hour’s created to foster support of our small business owners, or at my annual Community BBQ held at Craig Ranch Park which will take place on Saturday October 17th. People are often surprised that Legislators do not have local offices or staff. We rely on dedicated volunteers and loving family members to help. However you can contact me by phone (702) 816-7922 or email (daniele@ daniele4nevada.com) and I invite you to follow me on Facebook: Daniele4Nevada or Twitter: @Daniele4NV I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

A Message from the City Of North Las Vegas DEAR ALIANTE HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS. As you are likely aware, the City

of North Las Vegas owns the Aliante Golf Club, and Elite Golf Management manages the course. We have received some questions recently regarding use of the golf course, so we wanted to provide you information. For your protection and safety, use of the golf course is reserved for registered golfers only. Non-golf related activities such as jogging or walking a dog are prohibited. The Aliante Community has several public trails and parks designated for walking, jogging, and other recreational activities. Please feel free to use these trails and parks at your leisure during their hours of operation.

Aliante Aerial

Elite Golf Management will work with the City to enforce the restrictions. Please report any concerns to the golf course’s management. Please do not take action on your own to enforce the rules. Thank you in advance for your valuable cooperation. We hope you will continue to respect and enjoy the Aliante Community and all of its wonderful amenities in the manner they were intended to be used. Cass Palmer Director of Neighborhood and Leisure Services City of North Las Vegas

County Corner EARLIER THIS MONTH, I was honored to host

more than 200 local community leaders and decision makers for the inaugural Thriving Communities for a Better Southern Nevada Forum. It was sponsored by the Office of Family Assistance, a federal department charged with helping move people from poverty to successfully sustainable lifestyles. They (picked) choose only three locations in the nation; and they chose the Clark County Valley as the kick-off city because of the great work that is already underway with all the great community partnerships. At the gathering, we discussed everything from moving food stamp recipients to jobs and to expanding preschool options as part of a plan to rid the cycle of poverty in Southern Nevada. Why is this important to communities like Aliante? A tree cannot grow strong and broad if it does not have a powerful root system. And Clark County and it’s encompassing cities cannot succeed if we do not take care of its most vulnerable members — children and families facing the problems poverty cause — malnutrition, inadequate medical care and no access to quality jobs. “If you are in this community and you have a neighbor, you are part of the system of change we need in order to address certain needs of our children and our families,” said Tim Burch, the Clark County Human Services Administrator. At the Forum, participants focused on three major areas in their efforts to fight poverty — increasing career opportunities for the underemployed, providing employment and mentoring programs for low-income youth and increasing economic mobility for impoverished single parents. It’s important to recognize that people cannot be successful in a job, or even finding a job, if they do not have access to housing and adequate food supplies. It seems basic, but if you are living on the streets or in impoverished conditions, it is impossible to focus on being successful at a job and staying gainfully employed. The forum also brought out the revelation that money is not always the answer to finding solutions to these challenges. In fact, Clarence H. Carter,

2020

A Cautionary Tale

the director of the Office of Family Assistance at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said he believes failures in many public safety-net programs are not the result of budget but organization. “It’s not that we don’t spend enough,” Carter said. “It is that we have a dysfunctional design and we have no overarching intention.” Clark County is making strides, and the Forum showcased a few of these efforts. The facility that hosted the Forum is one such success story. The Harbor is a juvenile assessment center with two current locations in Clark County that provide services to at-risk juveniles and their families, helping them to identify the root cause of issues they face and providing them with the resources they need to resolve those issues. The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) has also introduced several new initiatives, including Project Z, which provides assistance gaining employment for 16-24-year-olds receiving SNAP benefits, and a desire to introduce universal Pre-K to the Clark County School District. At the Forum, my office also announced our Thriving Communities Pledge, which seeks to increase involvement from every resident of Clark County. We are asking everyone in this community to commit themselves, either as individuals or as a part of a program, business, or agency, to help with issues in the realms of underemployment, youth, and early childhood. You can find the pledge at www.nvcareercenter.org. We are going to use the momentum from this forum to continue our goal of wiping out poverty in Southern Nevada. In the planning stages is a large meeting that will showcase all the assets we have for families in this community. We will have breakout sessions based on four topics: Chronic Underemployment; Youth; Early Childhood; and Thriving Communities for a Better Southern Nevada. I encourage everyone to go to www.thrivingcommunites.org for more information. Together, what we do here will build the roots that will make communities like Aliante, North Las Vegas and all of Clark County better and stronger. Marilyn Kirkpatrick Clark County Commissioner

Officer Recognition ALIANTE MASTER PATROL SECURITY OFFICER Anthony Thomas was recognized

at the January 28th Board of Directors meeting for Exceptional Security Service Standards for his assistance with a vehicle accident where the car was accidentally driven into a tree. After making contact with the driver, who declined medical attention, Security Officer Thomas attempted to keep the driver at the scene who was trying to contact an Uber. NLVPD arrived on scene and conducted an investigation taking the driver into custody. Utilizing de-escalation techniques the officer remained calm during a high stress incident which resulted in an arrest by NLVPD. Janice De Rosier, Vice President of the Aliante Master Board, also shared how Officer Thomas handled a trespass issue in the drainage tunnel in-between the Estates and Seasons communities on December 2, 2019 where a resident temporarily “moved into” the tunnel during a domestic issue. Officer Thomas waited 4 hours for the police to issue the trespass. Congratulations Officer Anthony Thomas for your hard work and dedication.

Could Nevada be holding money for you?

What money you may ask, Items specified in Nevada Revised Statutes 120A says Nevada could hold financial assets owed to an individual or a business, including securities, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, gift certificates, and other items. The primary mission of the Nevada Unclaimed Property Division is to reunite original owners with their property. The Treasurer’s Office is charged with safeguarding the value of these assets in perpetuity. The original owner or heir never loses the ability to

Here is how you can check to see if you have unclaimed money. Go to the Nevada State Treasurer website and click the yellow smiley face option that says “search for unclaimed money”. It really is that easy. Not from Nevada? You can state your claim in other states as well. Go to missingmoney.com. There is no fee to file a claim or to search for property.
