Animals infected with plague have been found in the Gallegos area, with one case reported in Sandia Heights. Concerns about plague in animals like rock squirrels, chipmunks, and domestic pets were raised due to the risks posed to humans from May to September. The SHHA's 1993 Annual Meeting, known as the Spring Fling, gathered over 250 members with successful outcomes, including the introduction of a new SHHA T-shirt and the election of new and re-elected directors.

Preventive measures against plague were discussed, emphasizing reducing rodent populations, proper food and garbage storage, and avoiding handling sick animals. The newsletter highlighted US WEST's telephone number changes affecting Sandia Heights residents and the Security Patrol's advice on maintaining a secure neighborhood. The upcoming Sandia Heights Annual Holiday Bazaar and the implementation of a new tabloid format for The GRIT were also announced.

The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association (SHHA) newsletter discusses various updates and initiatives undertaken by the association. A task force was appointed to provide recommendations on the association's mission, focusing on architectural review and covenant enforcement. The Government Liaison Committee worked on issues like commercial trucking restrictions along Tramway Boulevard and collaborated with various entities on drainage and transportation plans. Efforts were also made to influence policies related to floodplain maps, development ordinances, and groundwater protection regulations affecting Sandia Heights.

The Covenant Support Committee continued to assist homeowners with covenant enforcement issues to maintain the neighborhood's character. The Architectural Review Committee oversaw property improvements, ensuring compliance with established guidelines. Communication services were expanded, and updates on the Tramway Improvement Project were provided. Other topics included parkland development, recycling efforts, and community involvement in public policy formation.
