Spanish-language noticing gap

Banning has many Spanish-speaking neighbors, but the city has no policy to translate hearing notices or signs — and the two proposals tonight would have spent 20 days and 600 feet of notices without reaching them in their language. The Commission voted to ask the Council to consider requiring Spanish-language notices and signage.

Expanded public hearing notifications — and who still gets left out

A resident complained that agendas aren't posted where meetings actually happen — the chamber entrance — leaving attendees unsure whether meetings are on or cancelled. He asked that agendas be posted on the exterior window as in past years.
