HOA Meeting – Rodeo Palms – 911
I had the honor and privilege to attend the Rodeo Palms meeting last evening to hear the candidates views as to why they chose to run for city council. There were also some concerns expressed and I have asked for a list that the City of Manvel can review to see what the city can do to provide assistance in the areas that come under our jurisdiction. There was also some discussion regarding 911 calls. If I was misunderstood at the meeting, I do apologize. I do support “911″ and they do a remarkable job for emergencies. If it is not an immediate emergency, such as an abandoned car, barking dogs, wandering dogs in the neighborhood, children unsupervised, solicitors, someone strange in the neighborhood, etc, please call the Manvel Police Department at 281 489 1212. We do have 24hour dispatching. The “911″ calls go through Angleton and are routed back to Manvel. How long does this take? I am not sure. I do know it is done as quickly as possisble. I have met with Sheriff Wagner of the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Department and he assured me they are doing the best they possibly can to serve us. Hopefully as Manvel continues to grow, we will have our own “911″ in the future. IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 911. IF IT IS SOMETHING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE, PLEASE CALL 281 489 1212. I believe there was a flyer passed out at the meeting with this telephone number. There were also questions regarding how cell phones and “911″ calls work. I have been told they are forwarded by the nearest tower in range to Angleton. There was never a question brought up regarding the response time of EMS and the Fire Department. They do a great job serving our community.
