Hardin County schedules Oct. 28 public hearing on proposed ban of game rooms and gaming machines
Summary
The county set a public hearing for 9:30 a.m. Oct. 28 at the courthouse to collect resident comment on a request from the sheriff's office to consider banning game rooms and gaming machines under new state law interpretations.
Hardin County commissioners set a public hearing for 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 28 to receive comments from residents about a request by Sheriff Davis and Captain Custer to consider banning all game rooms and gaming machines within the county.
The judge said the request requires a public hearing and that similar actions have been reported in other counties; he suggested a 30-minute hearing before the regular Oct. 28 meeting. The court unanimously approved setting the hearing and directed staff to publish the required notice to meet statutory public-notice requirements.
No ordinance or final policy was adopted at the Oct. 14 meeting; the Oct. 28 hearing will be the formal venue for public comment and any subsequent court action.
Speakers at the Oct. 14 meeting emphasized scheduling and notice logistics to ensure the public has 30 days to submit nominations and to provide commissioners time to consider comments before making any policy decision.
