A recent legal ruling in Sandia Heights addressed covenant enforcement, confirming the validity of Sandia Heights Restrictive Covenants and the authority of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to review and approve building plans. The ruling highlights the importance of upholding covenants to protect the architectural uniqueness of the neighborhood. Additionally, changes to the Bylaws of the Association were proposed for ratification, including updates related to membership, quorum, board meetings, and the establishment of committees.

The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association (SHHA) Board of Directors accomplished significant tasks in 2000/2001, including opening the SHHA office, discontinuing the practice of contracting administrative assistance, improving member interface, establishing an annual budget, redesigning the SHHA website, and winning a legal case regarding enforcement of restrictive covenants. Efforts were made to oppose commercial development, support the establishment of a park, and address traffic safety concerns within the community.
