Rather it is the Kirkwood Volunteer Fire Department (KVFD). Second, KVFD exists entirely under the auspices of Kirkwood Meadows PUD, so the statement quoted above is factually inaccurate and should be deleted. The sentence preceding this one, “Kirkwood Meadows PUD identified the need for affordable housing” is sufficient as it covers both KMPUD and KVFD. Thank you. Regards, Erik M. Christeson, P.E.
