The City of Mustang will be providing an "Employee Spotlight" each month so that citizens can learn more about the public servants that contribute to our City running smoothly. The Employee Spotlight will feature answers to a series of questions about the selected employee, the department and position they serve in, and unique likes and interests of the employee.
The September Employee Spotlight is Jana Brence, Communications Supervisor.

How have things changed in dispatch, communications, support services since you have been employed with the City of Mustang? What do you like most about it? How things have not changed might be an easier question. The atmosphere, technology, communication between departments. I believe our dispatch center is one of the best as well as I have the best group of employees anyone could ever hope for. I love watching someone who has never done this job grow and build confidence into the role they were hired for. Truly blessed!
