Good afternoon, Sonoma Verde!

Way to go on the beautiful job that most of you are doing with landscape maintenance. I've definitely seen some improvements over the last month!

I also want to re-iterate some important covenant requirements so that we can continue to maintain a beautiful and cohesive community:
 
  • Lawns must be free of weeds and mowed and edged regularly
  • Landscape beds and tree wells must be free of weeds and grass.
  • Trash cans must be stored out of sight when not out for collection day.
  • Parking recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on-site in Sonoma Verde is a violation of the covenant. If you have a temporary circumstance, please reach out to me to discuss the situation further.
 
Violation Stats
As a result of weekly inspections, we currently have 48 open violations - down from 74.
As always, if there is any way to assist you, please don't hesitate to let me know! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you,
Jamie Patterson

The 2020 Sonoma Verde Annual Meeting theme has come full circle, and I'm mostly excited because it has given me an excuse to quote one of my favorite movies!

As many of you have seen, we have opened up MOST of the fields near the amenity center this week. This means no more ugly orange construction fencing and a vast reduction in the amount of "Field Closed" signs you'll see.

The small soccer field and the baseball backstop and field are officially open for business! Get out and have fun (and remember to bring plenty of water). Just let me know if anyone wants to get schooled in Wiffle ball!

We are still running into some turf issues with the large soccer field, so it has been roped off with a large "Field Closed" sign. Please stay off of this field as we are awaiting the results of a soil test to help us diagnose and address the cause of the problem.

Now that we've got some space to play check out the update to our Back to School Bash below. Hint: you'll want to bring some clothes that can get dirty, it's gonna be messy!

Have a great weekend!

What's the nickname your friends and family call you most often?

Ryno. There were two Ryan's on my first baseball team as a kid, so I got called "Ryno" to avoid confusion. It has stuck ever since.
