Kelley rejected claims of political pressure and pledged to focus on doing the job. He received the Salvation Army Others Award of 1975.

County building change proposed for energy savings
A design modification for the county city judicial and law enforcement center would allow outside air for cooling to save energy. Architects from Peters Williams and Kubota say automatic switching to outside air when favorable would cut fuel bills by 7 000 to 10 000 dollars yearly, with about 35 000 dollars extra cost for ducts and controls. Written material will be submitted to Douglas County Commissioners for approval.
