During this COVID year, our Las Vegas communities have done good things for their residents. I have opened this column up to share those stories with my readers. We have this one for this week:

Barbara, In the Sunday paper you ask the readers to let you know what good things their communities are doing.

Here at Cottonwood Terrace there are always good things going on.

We have people walking their dogs who pick up poop from other people’s dogs and people who just pick up poop and don’t even have dogs.

The other day a man and his wife were walking, and she fell ill and couldn’t walk any further. A homeowner offered to take them home in his car so the wife would be safe.

We have caregivers helping other families so that everyone stays safe. Even if that means spending hours with them. We have people who report damage to the community so that repairs can be done in a timely manner. We have families sharing meals so that people feel welcome and are not left alone.

Yes, most people have had the two vaccines, thanks to Renee for her involvement with University Medical Center.

We are also working on a fundraiser to support Spirit Therapies Foundation. In addition, on April 24, more than 20 people gathered in Cottonwood Terrace to Walk for Wishes, an annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada. Everyone made a donation to MAW, and for that they received a specialty T-shirt, a MAW star to wear and MAW water to drink. At the halfway point we stopped at The Betty’s House and had popcorn and a raffle. Almost everyone got a prize. At the end of the day, we had collected $1,550.

HOA stalls in removing tree that landed on condo building
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

If this tree is one that belongs to the association and is located in the common area, the association needs to contact its insurance company to not only remove the tree but also to assess the damages caused by the tree onto any of the homeowners’ units.

Bids not needed to renew management company’s contract
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

There is nothing in Nevada Revised Statutes 116 that requires an association to rebid all of its vendor accounts, including the management contract.

Homeowner worried about HOA board member
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

Technically, the remaining board member could appoint directors to fill the vacant positions. The terms for the appointed board members would expire upon the next scheduled election. If the remaining board does not appoint any directors, most governing documents would allow the homeowners to call for any election.

HOA probably should not use homeowner’s electricity
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

Generally, the answer is no. If the association is using the homeowner’s electricity, in any event, the association needs to compensate that homeowner.

NRED could disqualified botched HOA election
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

You do have a viable complaint and should contact NRED asking them to disqualify the election and require the association’s board to hold another election.

Infighting splitting community into two segments
By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas

You will need the assistance of legal counsel to determine if the governing documents have a procedure that would allow a separation of the west-side homes from the east-side homes.
