A homeowner's board meeting was held on November 13, 1979, with approximately 90-100 attendees, including County Representative Wray Simmons discussing the need for more county services in Sandia Heights. Thanks to efforts by the Homeowners Association, funds were approved to resurface problematic Tramway Blvd. The guard service, essential for security, was emphasized as a necessity for all residents to support financially to maintain its operation seamlessly. Various announcements, want ads, and community concerns were addressed, including the need for responsible pet ownership and solicitation for babysitters and odd job workers in the area. A cautionary note was added about checking sliding glass door mechanisms for proper locking tension.

Sandia Heights' unique development and self-sustainability were highlighted through a retrospective by Ben Abruzzo, outlining the careful planning and master design that set the community apart. The area, with around 650 completed residences and ongoing construction, maintains a unique style and self-sufficiency in services like water and waste disposal. The Tri Venture ownership ensured community improvements, including the Fire District and enhanced Guard Services. A vision for recreational facilities, such as the Four Seasons Club and stables, alongside access to the Sandia Mountains' activities, showcases the range of amenities provided to residents for a distinctive living experience.
