Hampton staff: mini-golf funding set aside; carousel likely Phase 1, mini-golf Phase 2
Summary
City Manager told council money has been set aside for a mini-golf facility and staff expects the carousel would be Phase 1 with mini-golf likely a later phase; council asked staff to refine cost estimates for 9- vs 18-hole configurations.
Mary Bunting said the city has set aside funds for a mini-golf amenity and that staff is considering whether it should be paired with the carousel or implemented later. "We did set aside money to do a mini golf," Bunting said, noting the initial thought had been Buckroe but that Bluebird was a secondary option.
Council asked whether the plan was for an 18-hole course and whether the city could split holes between sites (for example, 9 holes at Buckroe and 9 at Bluebird). Staff said mobilization and site costs would raise the total if split and agreed to return with cost estimates. Council also discussed sequencing: staff indicated the carousel would be the first phase and mini-golf most likely the second, depending on budget timing and priorities.
