Mini Golf Course Still Possible At Mingo

An agenda item during the Washington County Commissioners’ Agenda meeting drew some pushback because of the confusion that it caused. A proposal to extend the contract to build a miniature golf course at Mingo Creek Park is to be considered. Commissioner Larry Maggi thought the idea was over when the initial proposal for the mini golf course was pulled last spring when public outcry railed against the idea. The current measure is looking to extend the bid period by 30 days to better evaluate the bid. Commissioner Nick Sherman said that there may have been confusion on what was being proposed. It is not a full scale golf course, it is a venue that takes up “about a quarter of an acre.” Commissioner Larry Maggi is against the proposal siding with the earlier outcry that says a commercial venture like that would ruin the pristine nature of the park. Maggi is hoping to convince his colleagues to have the bid extension pulled from the agenda for Thursday’s voting meeting. Separately, commissioners will look to approve a request for proposal to build an ADA Accessible dog park at Mingo Creek Park.
