Kennon will soon be releasing more information on the changes and how to sign up.
Mike Kennon also spoke to the Board about the American Rescue Plan funds and mentioned that one of the uses of the money that is listed is to provide premium pay for essential workers. Kennon felt he needed to advocate for the dispatchers that were at work every day through the pandemic.
