Dave Hoerning presented the Commission with orders renaming Miller Road to American Lane; Tekampe Road to Sholes Road; Baker Road to Walton Road; Olson Road to Gerking Market Road; Nottingham Court to Windy Ridge Road; and Nels Anderson to Gillette Road. Dave explained that these road name changes were being done because of duplications and to conform to the new address system implemented in the county. Street numbering is done by direction and when a street makes an extreme direction change number continuity is lost. Dave told the Commissioners all proposed street name changes have the approval of property owners. Commissioner Montgomery moved the street name changes be approved.
