Consider and Take Action re:  Resolution Officially naming Kelly Road.  During the past month the Dane County Public Safety Communication Center received a call from a resident of Kelly Road.  A discussion ensued regarding the spelling of the road name.  The Town shows it as KELLY, the County has KELLEY.  The county has asked that the Town adopt a resolution concerning the name and submit the same to the county.  The resolution requests that the county records be changed to match the Town version of the name.  The City of Sun Prairie has a Kelly Street.  Moved by Vernon Pogue, second by Doug Yelk to adopt said resolution.
