The roadmap.
Some changes begin with a vote. Others need a budget, legal review, outside funding, design, and time. This is the sequence.
Four phases
What moves when.
Low-cost public rules can move first. Budgets and programs need votes. Capital projects need design, funding, partners, and time.

What changes the timing
What could slow the work.
Most policies, budgets, contracts, land actions, and agreements require at least three Council votes.
Ongoing services need money the City can count on each year. Capital projects may use grants, fees, restricted funds, or partnerships.
Rate rules, labor obligations, environmental review, purchasing rules, and legal review shape what can move.
When timing changes, the tracker should show what happened, who needs to act next, and the new date.
Neighbor to neighbor
A better Banning takes more than two people.
Read the plan, ask hard questions, and share it with someone on your block.
