Holidays/Vacation/After Hours Contact Information
There was some confusion this week regarding the hours of staff members and who to contact when we are away from the property. For those of you receiving this blog via email, please see the attached notice with the official office
hours, important numbers and emergency after hour procedures. This notice
will also be posted on boards at both towers and on the notice board in the
clubhouse. There are many issues and procedures that arise which mean we may not be at our desks, but there are
several ways to get in touch with Michelle or me.
If there is an after hour emergency, you can call Sterling
Property Services and speak to the on call manager, or you can call Security
and they will get in touch with me. If it is before 6 PM M-F or before 5 PM on
Saturday or Sunday you can call the Sales Center or go down stairs and they
will call me or Michelle if they are unable to assist you.
Also, when Michelle and/or I are away from our desk a new
notice will be put up at the front desk letting residents and vendors know we
are on the property but away from our desk. When I am on vacation/take a day
off, another notice will be at the front desk letting residents and vendors
know that Michelle will cover for me (but in a limited capacity). After I
have left for the day (office closed), another notice will be placed at the
front desk with emergency numbers.
Back Gate Codes
The back gate codes will be changing Monday June 4th.
The new gate code has been emailed to all residents.
Landscape Report
I meet with the landscape representative from Greenscapes this morning
since owners have expressed concern to John Callahan about some dead plant material and palm
fronds. The last landscape review was done on April 19th.
Here is what they found at that time and what was done to correct it:
Prune the dead fronds off the Medjools. These are the palms
out by the pool. The ones closest to the clubhouse were done but when they got
to the other two by the fountain there were a lot of homeowners at the pool
and they were not able to get to them. They were done this morning when the
pruning crew was here.
The 2nd quarter shrub fertilization was completed
the week of April 23rd, 2012.
The 2nd quarter turf fertilization was completed
the week of May 1st, 2012. There are three spots where we had some
turf brun from the fertilization. Greenscapes will be replacing these spots at
their cost.
There were some hot spots due to the irrigation issues we
had last month. Those have since been corrected and those plants (the awabukis
and Mexican pentunas) and the turf is coming back nicely.
The plumbagos have been treated for chili thrip and the
crotons have been treated for scale and both are recovering nicely.
Greenscapes were keeping their eye on two sabal palms at the
east tower. IPM looked at both of these palms and she was not concerned with
them. We will continue to keep an eye on them though.
There are three small trees over behind the west tower that
are not doing well and will be removed. Greenscapes will be providing a
proposal for a tree that will do well in this area.
There is a dead sabal at the foot of the ramp leading to the
2nd floor garage at the west tower. This was removed today.
The pruning crew hand pulled some of the weeds in the beds
since they seemed to not respond to the round up.
The annuals out by the pool (where we have had the most
problems with annuals doing well) are doing very well. Pictures will be
included in the blog next week of all of the annuals.
While walking around, it was reported by Mr. Swenson that
the irrigation is soaking one of the tennis courts. A work order has been put
in to the irrigation tech to correct this again.
Any questions regarding the landscape please let me know.
