Good afternoon, Sonoma Verde!
The last Manager's Minute was an information OVERLOAD, so we will keep it short and sweet this week!
Landscaping:
With the arrival of spring, weeds are popping up, and violation notices are starting to go out to ensure necessary maintenance is being taken care of. If you sustained landscape damage and are in the process of replacing or fixing damaged areas, please email me so that I can make a note on your account and avoid sending you violation notices for issues you are already addressing.
Main Entrance Clock Tower:
We continue to work on fixing the issue with the clock tower. The face is straight, but the clock is not maintaining the accurate time after we implemented a few fixes to correct the issue. We are still working with Americlock to diagnose the issue and have it back in working order as quickly as possible.
Street Sign Repair:
We have been made aware of a misaligned street sign at Abruzzo and Amarone, as well as a damaged stop sign at the intersection of Bertino and Tuscany. We are in the process of managing both of those repairs.
Have a great weekend, everyone! If you need anything, as always, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Thank you,
Jamie Patterson
Community Manager

Happy Friday!
One of the first things Jamie and I talked about when I started working here was ensuring communication with the Sonoma Verde community (Sonoma Verdians? Sonoma Verdites? Sonomians?) was at the top of our priority list.
With that in mind, we were VERY excited to let you choose what the common area landscaping update would look like for the upcoming spring color change! The response has been amazing, and we appreciate you letting us know what you want to see in your community!
On to the part you are most interested in, obviously, which choice won!
In a very close race, taking the vote with 42% of the vote, the winner is angelonias and mixed zinnias!

And, on top of that, D&D Commercial Landscaping Management has donated a free flat of the winning plants to a randomly selected survey participant to provide you with your own personal spring color update at home!
Paula Tate is our winner! Congratulations Paula! Please send me an email to confirm your information , and we will communicate with you once we have a delivery date so D&D can get you your free spring upgrade when they are ready!
Have a great weekend!
