The December 2020 newsletter of the Sandia Heights Homeowners Association covers various updates, including the announcement of the SHHA Annual Meeting scheduled for February 20, 2021, which will be held virtually due to the pandemic. The meeting will involve reports on 2020 activities and accomplishments by the Board's officers and committee chairs, followed by a Q&A session. Additionally, the newsletter features an article on mouse control in Sandia Heights, emphasizing the importance of preventing mice infestations through measures like controlling predators, maintaining good indoor sanitation, using repellents, and setting traps effectively. The issue also includes an intriguing article on the historical TWA 260 crash near Sandia Heights and the subsequent investigation, shedding light on new perspectives regarding the tragic event.

The newsletter discusses the importance of considering the materials and finishes used in roofing to prevent glare issues that may affect neighboring properties. It emphasizes that even materials rated as low reflectivity can still cause reflections in various directions due to surface contours, highlighting the responsibility of residents and contractors to address any glare problems arising from roof installations. The document also underscores that smooth surfaces act as mirrors, reflecting light at low angles, and glossiness rather than color is a significant factor in reflectivity, urging careful monitoring of permitted roofing material choices.

The newsletter further provides a detailed list of approved projects within the Sandia Heights community, including various replacements, installations, repairs, and landscaping tasks undertaken in different residences. It directs readers to the HOA website for information on all projects currently managed by the ACC. Overall, the contents cover issues related to roof reflectivity, glare concerns, and a comprehensive log of recent community projects.
