From the President Future Challenges and Opportunities HELLO AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As we begin the new decade, there will continue to be challenges with all the new homes being built in and around Aliante. We will be faced with increased traffic. We most likely will have increased speeders and maybe some increased vandalism. This is not to paint a negative picture of what the future holds for Aliante, because with these challenges will come many equally good opportunities for success. The Aliante Board envisions more commercial businesses and hopefully some new restaurants in the area. We will also see further development of the Tule Springs National Monument with the building of the Visitor Center and expanded hiking trails. Since this will be an active “dig” site there will be opportunities for community involvement. All the new home building will not increase the size of the Master Association but should increase the value of our homes. The Aliante Board envisions new ways to get both Aliante itself and Sun City more involved in joint events and activities as we move forward in 2020. The Board will begin looking for opportunities to hold community wide functions (more than the Garage Sale twice a year). The Board will need to get input as to what the Community would like to see. Maybe it’s a Health and Safety Fair, Town Hall meetings, candidate presentations for both local and national elections, or vendor and craft fairs. These are just a few of the ideas that have been tossed around, but they are not the only things we could do. This is our Community, and we need you to be involved beyond just paying assessments.

Getting involved in planning and providing feedback to the Board on what you would like to see; and helping to make our vision a reality. Every homeowner has the right to sit in on any committee meeting and express their thoughts. I know that there are many who find it difficult to attend Board Meetings and maybe you have suggestions as to the time, day or place we meet, so that it would provide you a better opportunity to attend. Yes, Board Meetings are for the Board, but every Board Meeting provides homeowners an opportunity to speak on Agenda items or on any topic at the meeting. If you can attend these meetings, you will get a better understanding of what is happening in our Community. Won’t you help us meet the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead? Help us by finding a niche where you can make yourself a vital link in our Community. Don Schaefer Aliante Master Board President

Who are you going to call . . . For your gate code?

IF YOU LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY within Aliante

Master Association, do you know who to call for entrance gate issues? How about your pedestrian gate code? Did you know that your association may no longer use gate codes? The Aliante Master Association receives several calls and emails asking questions about the gates located within the Sub-Associations. Many homeowners are unaware that the Master Association does not maintain the entrance or pedestrian gates for those communities that have them. The vehicle and pedestrian gates are maintained by the individual Sub-Associations, including the call boxes and gate remotes. If you are unsure of your community’s gate procedures, please contact them directly as noted below: Aliante Cove Nicklin Community Management Manager: Lisa Carrion (702) 851-7660 AlianteCove@Nicklincm.com Autumn Ridge/Springdale FirstService Residential Provisional Manager: Joyce Winward (702) 737-8580 AutumnRidgeatAliante@FSRNevada.com

City Council Corner I HOPE THIS ARTICLE FINDS my friends in our

beautiful Aliante Master-Planned Community doing great! I assume you are all doing what I am doing as I write this, which is wondering where 2019 went! As I reflect on the year that has come to a close, I am very thankful for many wonderful things that have happened in North Las Vegas. This year, the City enjoyed a continuation of sound development and economic diversification. We welcomed several national and global companies into our community, including renewable hydrogen producer Air Liquide. As you travel across our city, you can see a variety of quality development lossom from residential neighborhood, commercial and educational facilities to light industrial, warehousing/logistics and manufacturing facilities. The wonderful economic growth and diversification over recent years has afforded us the opportunity to invest in services and resources that you, our amazing residents, deserve. For example, this year our city saw a significant increase in public safety hiring. We have more law enforcement professionals and first responders in our neighborhoods keeping us safe and helping in times of emergency. We also made significant investments in parks and recreation improvements throughout the city and we expanded hours and services at our libraries and community centers. All of these efforts make our community safer and improve the quality of life for us, the residents.

Although it is important to take a moment to reflect, celebrate successes and evaluate lessons learned, we, as your North Las Vegas City Council, are not slowing down! We are moving into 2020 with high expectations of a successful year ahead, ready to put in the work and effort to keep our wonderful city heading into a positive future! I’m excited to announce the State of the City of North Las Vegas event will take place Jan. 29. Mayor John Lee will highlight our successes and offer a vision for what 2020 will bring. I’d like to give you all a sneak peek! Next year, we will continue to bring diverse development across the city, from lovely new residential communities to state-of-the-art industrial complexes. We will also prioritized providing our residents with much-requested services and amenities, such as new restaurants, retail stores and the building of a new downtown library. The year 2020 will also bring the opening of the City of North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center in our downtown area. This will further our ability to provide more public safety. The goal of the Community Correctional Center is of course to serve inmates but it is really about public safety for the entire community. Not only does it put more officers on the streets, but the objective is to send people back out into the community better folks than when they came in. So, until my next Aerial article, I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Thank you all for choosing to live in the City of North Las Vegas! Scott Black North Las Vegas Mayor Pro Tem

New Board Member / Vice President GREETINGS, it’s hard to believe that we are now into

2020! Time has a way of marching on. I am very encouraged with the direction of the Board for 2020 and beyond. As your new Vice President, one of my duties is to be closely in step with our President, Don Schaefer. This will provide the Association a smooth continuation of the President and Board’s vision if anything were to happen with Mr. Schaefer. As the Board liaison to the Property and Grounds and Social Committees I would like to give you some highlights and updates regarding those committees. Property and Grounds This Committee’s primary focus is to research and make recommendations to the Board for all of the common areas throughout Aliante. This includes all facets of landscaping, lighting, playgrounds areas and more. They work closely with Gothic Landscaping to make sure all of our common grounds are well maintained. Gothic is taking steps to keep the overgrowth down so you should see a more groomed look to our community. This year we are faced with the replacement of all of the elevated concrete planters that you see throughout the community. This is very costly and

we are in the process of acquiring bids to make it as cost effective as possible. We are also looking at replacing some of the playground equipment so we can have an aesthetically pleasing and safe picnic and playground environment for all to enjoy. Social Committee This Committee takes great pride in our community events. You will be seeing some changes in 2020 as we are proposing hosting 2 main events for 2020. One in the April and one in December. Throughout the year we are will be coordinating with Sun City Aliante for some combined events. More information will be released as the new events are put into place. If you would like to be part of this exciting committee please contact FirstService Residential for an interest form. My husband, Dennis Bee and I, have been residents of Aliante for over seven years. I currently serve as President of Estates at Aliante and Vice President of the Master Board. I have a strong commitment to our entire community and look forward to serving all of you! Janice De Rosier Aliante Master Board Vice President

New Board Member / Treasurer HAPPY NEW YEAR and

Welcome 2020! I am humbled and grateful to have been elected Treasurer of the Aliante Master Homeowners Association. I am honored to serve and vow to work diligently on our community’s behalf. I have three priorities for the upcoming year: 1. Improve Security: I am concerned with the recent uptick of crime within Aliante. I requested to be the Board liaison to the Safety Committee to address these concerns. If you have been following Securitas’ monthly reports, then you are aware of the increase in petty crime, particularly in the parks and theft within the residential areas. Please lock your car doors while at the parks and close your garage doors when at home. Some of you may be aware of the graffiti which blighted our community not long ago. This activity is sometimes indicative of gang activity expanding their turf. Aliante Is Our Community, and these actions are intolerable. I have commissioned the Safety Committee to gather crime statistics to gain more in-depth insight into the various criminal acts within and around our

community over the last year. We will be relaying this data to other stakeholders who might want to join with us to harden our posture. 2. Act Responsibly: The Board’s primary responsibility is to maintain our community following the laws you enacted. Things like well lit common areas, bright signs, and abundant foliage adorn our streets because of the dues you pay. We owe it to you to use those funds responsibly. With that, your Homeowner’s Association has over 1.1 million dollars owed to it. I support our President and his quest to bring this number down. This debt creates a burden for the Board, the Finance Committee, and you. Along with fiscal responsibility comes responsible homeownership. The Compliance and Publication Committees are dedicating a lot of time, energy, and resources to get the word out on a multitude of issues that serve to detract from the overall image of our Community. I appreciate their effort. Minor and inexpensive discrepancies like failing to remove weeds and replace address lights have significant impact on property value and detract from the Community’s image. With the abundance of new houses in our area, families have a deep pool of

high-quality housing from which to choose. We want them to choose Aliante. Buying in Aliante increases the value of our homes and invigorates the Community with fresh ideas. 3. Foster Community: Aliante is a top-notch Community which my family and I are proud to call home. All residents should. It is the Board’s job to foster and grow that feeling. I am proud of the steps our Social Committee has undertaken with the Winter Wonderland Carnival on December 7th and am excited to see what they have planned for 2020. I am committed to working with my fellow Board members to continue to improve the quality of life and value of property in Aliante. I appreciate the opportunity to address our Community and to promote security, responsibility, and community. Won’t you join me? Zach Weiderstein Alainate Master Board Treasurer

Solar Panels: Condos for Critters YOU’VE JUST INVESTED MANY THOUSANDS of

dollars on a new solar system for your home, and you’re looking forward to the benefits for both your wallet and the environment. Or, perhaps you’ve seen your neighbors get a new system recently and you’re starting to think about getting one yourself. Either way, there’s one side effect that you may not have yet considered: pigeons. According to Brian Madden of Buddies Exterminating (www. buddiesexterminating.com), “You’ve just built them a condo.” That wonder of modern technology on your roof is a perfect shade structure and hiding place for wild animals, including pigeons. Birds can enter through openings that have never been properly sealed off, including the gap beneath solar panels. It’s an ideal place for them to stay sheltered and safely away from predators. Unfortunately, when pigeons set up homes in these protected areas, building nests and discarding bodily waste, the consequences can be serious. Bird droppings are acidic and can eat away at many substrates, especially tar-based roofing materials. Furthermore, the weight from both accumulated fecal matter and any water that does not properly drain can become so great that it poses a danger to the structural integrity of the

roof. The life expectancy of a roof may be reduced by as much as half from just a light, continuous accumulation of droppings. Since nesting materials are typically composed of straw, twigs, and dried droppings, they can become flammable as they dry. Their proximity to electricity makes them particularly susceptible to catching fire. Of great concern, both to your family and your neighbors, is the significant risk of diseases — bacterial, fungal, viral, protozoal, or Rickettsial — spread by pest birds that are left unchecked. A pigeon nest can be host to numerous parasites and diseases that can easily be passed to humans. Airborne spores from dried droppings containing dormant fungi and/or bacteria can easily enter air ducts and settle on exposed food. Thousands of cases of food poisoning (including Salmonella) are attributed to this transmission mechanism each year. Worse, internal fungal infections (including histoplasmosis) may be untreatable or even fatal. Bird infestations are commonly reported in Aliante and should be taken seriously, but there is no cause for paranoia. The best defense is to seal off the areas at the time you install your solar system, which you should discuss with your installer. Even if you already have an installed system, it’s

not too late to remedy the situation, but procrastinating could result in costs than can escalate into the thousands of dollars. It is not enough to remove the birds; it is equally crucial to eradicate the parasites and thoroughly disinfect. Consult with a reputable pest control company to assess your needs, which may include putting fencing around the area to keep animals out. Professionals wear proper attire and take additional precautions when cleaning a bird site. Under no circumstance should you ever try to remedy the situation yourself. Apart from the dangers of walking on the roof, even the smallest nick or scratch could create an open wound where infectious agents could enter, potentially causing blood-borne septic infection. Because the aforementioned hazards affect not just individual homeowners, but additionally the community as a whole, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) now mandates this enclosure for solar systems. When submitting an ARC application for solar panels, approval letters will contain verbiage stating, “Space beneath panels must be enclosed or screened to avoid pigeon nesting and other health hazards.” Be smart. Be safe.
