Where Innovation and Courage Connect WHEN YOU GET right down to it, the nuts and bolts of any operation – a business, a

bakery or even a city – to make it work successfully, requires open-mindedness, trust, constant problem-solving, fresh thinking, crucial conversations and engaging customer service. When the city identifies areas of influence it requires bold thinking and equitable resilience; and the balancing counterparts of data, process, and transparency. It’s this combined approach that gives North Las Vegas a competitive edge.

Expertise Cosmetology opened its doors on March 12 after securing a $4 million EDA grant to assist in the new cosmetology trade school. Expertise will employ 20 people at full build-out and will help train members of the local community, so they can pursue their own entrepreneurial and small-businesses. The barber school is anticipated to open in May. The City has recruited two innovative charter schools to North Las Vegas’ redevelopment areas, both focused on career readiness and workforce development: Cristo Rey St. Viator, which is actively recruiting students from North Las Vegas’ redevelopment areas for a fall opening, combines traditional classroom learning with ongoing professional job development and placement. Corporate and small-business employers sponsor students’ tuition. In return, students spend one day each week working at the business to gain real-life job training and experience.

$14,000 per year. Important Board Decisions At The February 28, 2019 Meeting • At the November meeting the Board opened sealed bids for the 2018 audit and tax preparations. The bids were referred to the Finance Committee for review and recommendation. Upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the Board approved the bid from Bainbridge, Little & Co., CPAs in the amount of $3,900 for the audit plus $125 for the tax preparation. • The Board opened sealed bids for printing and mailing our newsletter and referred them to the Publications meeting for review and recommendation. The Board approved the committee’s recommendation to accept the bid from Las Vegas Color Graphics in the amount of $3,287 per issue. • During the 2018 holiday season the electrical outlets used to power the holiday decorations and palm tree lights failed. Also, the three Aliante Monument signs located on the corner of the 215 Beltway and Aliante Parkway are flickering or are completely out. The Board approved a proposal from Twilight Electric in the amount of $7,320 to make the needed repairs. • At the January Board meeting the Board approved switching to Green Living Services for our playground inspections and asked management to try to negotiate a lower cost per inspection. Green Living Services reduced their price per inspection, for all five playground areas, from $800 to $750.

the Board approved suspending six transfers at $47,083.33 per month from our Operating account to the Reserve account. We have more than enough cash in our Operating account but approximately $611,00 is in CD’s that do not mature until the second half of 2020. Since Operating Cash can be used to pay Reserve Expenses but Reserve Cash cannot be used to pay Operating expenses, this has little impact on our ability to pay planned Reserve Expenses. Important Board Decisions At The March 28, 2019 Meeting • We approved a proposal from Gothic in the amount of $136,965 to replenish the rock on Aliante Parkway from Centennial to the 215 Beltway. • The Board also approved landscape/irrigation renovations and rock refreshment for the remaining two section of Aliante Parkway: 1. $140,032 for landscape/irrigation renovations and $78,530 for rock refreshment between the 215 Beltway and Broadwing. 2. $32,596 for landscape/irrigation renovations and $32,320 for rock refreshment from Broadwing to Grand Teton. • Upon the recommendation of the Property and Grounds committee we approved Wilson Langford’s appointment to their committee.

More Than Just Robots GOYNES STEM ACADEMY, in Aliante, is

pleased to announce that they were selected as a recipient of a FIRST Nevada grant to start a robotics program at the school. As part of the Tesla k-12 Educational Investment, FIRST Nevada is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that is promoting FIRST® Robotics programs and STEAM education initiatives in Nevada. FIRST Nevada has a mission to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership. “This grant to start a robotics program has allowed Goynes STEM Academy to continue to provide accessible STEM education to students,” said Goynes STEM Academy Principal, Sta-

cie Nelson. “The new robotics program, for our 4th and 5th graders, allows us to introduce robotics to students at a younger age, and is helping them grow along with the ever-changing technology. The students are even learning to write code to program the robots,” she added. Tesla selected FIRST Nevada as a recipient of the company’s K-12 Education Investment Fund in the state of Nevada. K-12 STEAM Non-Profit Teaches Students Problem Solving, Teamwork, Inspired Robot Design and Building. Tesla’s Nevada K-12 Education Investment Fund is a $37.5 million investment focused on initiatives that support K-12 STEM and sustainability education in the state, as part of the Nevada DoE Education Gift Fund. Student participation in FIRST programs has been shown to influence future learning interests. Studies reflect that students who participate in FIRST continues on page 15

Helpful Hints Removing Concrete Stains and other marks on the driveway can lower the value of your home and neighbors. No matter if it was a vehicle you own, contractor you hired, or friend’s vehicle that left the stain or other marks it is a violation of the CC&R’s and must be corrected. Here are some helpful hints on how to remove the stains. New and fresh oil can, at times, be cleaned up with liquid dish soap, water, and a nylon bristle scrub brush. If the stain is older or simple soap and water does not work one could proceed onto chemicals. One product that was recently used by a homeowner with much success was Chomp Pull It Out Oil/Stain Remover for Concrete. This cleaning formula is convenient and easy to use. Simply pour a small amount of the formula onto any oily or petroleum-based stain to cover it and allow it to dry. As it dries, the pull it out formula draws out the contamination causing the stain. Once the cleaning formula is dry, you can easily brush OIL STAINS, WEATHERING

it away like chalk dust, revealing a stain-free, safer surface. Read the directions carefully before buying as the procedures and needed equipment vary. Once the driveway is clean it is recommended that you use a sealer to prevent future incidents from happening. Sealers vary in look and finish and it is always recommended to test a small section before proceeding with the entire job.

Please note, the association does not promote nor endorse any product, we can only pass on suggestions given by other homeowners.

The Aliante Master Community MANAGEMENT IS OFTEN ASKED the difference between a sub-association and a cost center and

where they are in Aliante in relation to their corner of the community. It can be confusing especially if you are new to the community. The Aliante Master community consists of 7 Cost Centers; LaVella, Pavona, Ravenna, Salerno, San Destin, Serenata and Vialetto with 1,677 homes. There are 13 Sub Associations: Autumn Ridge/Springdale, Club Aliante, The Courts at Aliante, Cove at Aliante, Estates at Aliante, the Fields, Manor at Aliante, Prominence at Aliante, Seasons, Seville/Bel Etage, Sun City Aliante, Terrasini and Treviso with 4,939 homes. What is a Cost Center versus a Sub Association? The biggest difference between a Cost Center and Sub Association is that a Cost Center does not have their own Board of Directors or association rules and regulations. They are governed solely by the Aliante Master CC & R’s and Board of Directors. An article from the May/June 2016 issue of the Aliante Aerial explained that a Cost Center is a non-gated Aliante community that does not have a separate sub association and Board of Directors. Homeowners in cost centers pay their HOA assessments solely to the Aliante Master Association, whereas homeowners in sub-associations will pay assessments to both associations. This is because the common areas of the cost center communities are maintained by the Aliante Master Association, rather than by a separate sub-association. We are fortunate that there are 3 large parks in the Aliante community, a city golf course (which are not maintained by the association) and 5 tot lots with gazebos and BBQ grills in the landscaped arroyos (these are maintained by the association).
