Peregrine Board of Directors2021 Election
We had three excellent candidates standing for the single Director seat on the Peregrine Master Association Board. The term for this position is limited to 3 years and will expire in 2024. We are happy to announce that you have re-elected Michelle McArthur to another 3-year term! Michelle has been an active member of the Peregrine Board of Directors since 2018. In her time on the Board, she has served as a Director at Large, Treasurer and most recently, Vice President. Most importantly, since she started on the board, she has chaired the Community Programs & Special Events Committee, which provides our community with vital social events such as the Peregrine Egg Hunt, Music in the Park, Cinema in the Park and the Turkey Trot. Please help us in congratulating Michelle McArthur and supporting her for another 3-year term!
2021 Peregrine SurveyCommunity Results
The 2021 Peregrine survey was designed to provide the opportunity to gather the opinions and suggestions of residents and property owners within Peregrine. We conduct these surveys every other year and use this valuable information to help guide our decision-making. This year we received 375 responses, which was the highest amount we have received for our community surveys so far. We had a 100% completion rate and the average amount of time spent on the survey was 10 minutes, 40 seconds.Overall, we received a lot of positive feedback on the initiatives set forth by the Board of Directors. We also received a good amount of feedback regarding areas of improvement and will use this information to shape our future plans for the community. Thank you again to all of you that provided this valuable information.You can view a summary of the results | 2021 Peregrine Survey Results.
Safety & Security UpdateFire Mitigation Scheduled
This December, the HOA will perform fire mitigation projects along Orchard Valley Road. We will remove dead vegetation and eliminate ladder fuels in the open space on the north side of Orchard Valley Road. This will also provide some erosion control using the logs in that area. The project is being lead by CSFD Fire Captain Steve Garcia, who also serves as a Peregrine HOA Board Member at Large.These projects represent an increased focus on fire mitigation in the Peregrine community. Based on survey responses of our residents, fire mitigation is a top priority for the Board. The HOA Board has allocated $10,000 for fire mitigation this year and coordinated two free residential chipping opportunities in 2021. If you are interested in learning more about fire mitigation on your property, the CSFD offers a fire mitigation program to meet with you and make suggestions on how to reduce the chance of fire on your property. For more information about this opportunity, contact CSFD Wildfire Mitigation at (719) 385-7493.
