Three businesses continued after failing to remove games of skill as ordered
Summary
Kogans, Harbor Inn and Sharks Sports Bar were continued after staff said none removed specified games of skill by the deadline; two operators appeared but Harbor Inn did not respond, and staff recommended continuances to allow compliance work to continue.
Planning staff told the commission that three commercial properties — Kogans, Harbor Inn and Sharks Sports Bar — had been given a date‑certain to remove games of skill devices required to be removed as a condition of continued operations. Staff reported that none of the three had removed the machines by the deadline and that two of the operators asked for a continuance; Harbor Inn had not responded to staff.
Staff said they had asked the applicants to appear at the meeting in case the commission wanted to question them; two respondents were present, but Harbor Inn did not respond. Because the machines remained in place, staff recommended continuing all three items to the next scheduling opportunity to allow the operators to pursue compliance. The commission discussion in the transcript portion was procedural, confirming that the items would be called and continued rather than receiving full presentations.
No vote on the continuances was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided, but staff said they are communicating with the operators and recommended the continuances rather than immediate enforcement action so the businesses have an opportunity to comply.
