A public forum in Volume 92 raised questions and concerns about groundwater pollution and protection in Sandia Heights. The meeting highlighted the need for protection measures to address groundwater contamination issues. An annual members' meeting was announced for June 6, 1992, at the Paseo del Norte Fire Station, providing an opportunity for homeowners to engage and discuss community matters. The newsletter also called for nominations for the SHHA Board of Directors, emphasizing the importance of active involvement in shaping the decisions of the homeowners association.

The newsletter contains information about the upcoming swim team season, security measures, a community event hosted by the Sandia Heights Scary Patrol, and a County Commissioner candidate. It also addresses concerns regarding groundwater pollution, the importance of septic system care, responsible pet ownership, a wildflower club garden tour, and an advertisement for a wireless security/fire system. Specific topics include septic tank maintenance, groundwater contamination prevention, and community events.

Residents of Sandia Heights are warned about the proliferation of tumbleweeds in the area, brought in inadvertently by a gas company last year. The newsletter discusses the challenges of dealing with tumbleweeds, their extensive seed production, and offers tips on effective weed control strategies to prevent their spread. Additionally, updates from State Representative Kip Nice cover legislative highlights, including initiatives for family services, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and plans for a Youth Conservation Corps to address youth gang problems. Concerns are also raised about public funds being diverted for pork projects instead of essential school capital projects.

Barbara Seward, a candidate for various governmental positions, is highlighted for her dedication to environmental quality and economic development in Bernalillo County. The newsletter mentions her extensive experience in urban planning, energy conservation, and community involvement to support her campaign. Furthermore, there are updates on road improvement projects in the area, specifically the progress of the Tramway Boulevard Phase I construction, with plans for additional landscaping and reconstruction efforts in the future.
