Historical activity at one Altus address under two event-facility names

Exactly 32 Jackson County-labeled division records in the September 20, 2026 statewide source comprise nine distinct base tournament IDs and 188 team participations, with event dates spanning 2004–2008. Every row names Altus and the address 601 East Katy Drive. Thirteen rows use “Missile Park Baseball & Softball Fields”; nineteen use “Altus Youth Baseball.” Both labels are retained as independent source grouping categories, but they should not be interpreted as two proven separate real-estate properties. [S1]

The City currently lists Cole Heights Park & Baseball Fields AKA Altus Missile Park, and its reservation system lists Missile Park at 601 Katy Drive. This provides independently documented contemporary name and location corroboration—not archived event permits, historical ownership, or a link between tournament financial flows and municipal accounts. [S2] [S4]

Two source event bases, 15267 and 15270, share the title “Altus Shootout” and start date May 12, 2006 while listing different directors; they remain two distinct IDs, pending independent records to determine whether they were separate activities, split divisions or source duplicates. They must not be merged solely because the names and date match.

Countywide modeled tournament finances, separated by measure

Within the source model, $130,323 of combined event income equals entry fees + gate + concessions, while $96,328 is the model’s remainder after umpire and sanction expense only. This is not an audited organizer profit: field rental, capital, park maintenance, utilities, insurance, inventory, wages, tax and many other costs are missing. The 30% / 50% / 70% concession-net scenarios are sensitivity cases using different illustrative cost structures, not three simultaneous revenue sources.

Municipality totals and original facility labels

For attribution purposes, every Jackson row is placed in Altus, its one displayed municipality, and all source rows trace to the same 601 E. Katy Drive address. City/public park naming corroboration does not prove legal ownership at any date. County government, tribal government, school, trust or private-party ownership, if established in deeds, would supersede any default municipal ownership assumption.

Reconciliation: For every additive financial, operations and visitor-model field, the two historical label rows sum exactly to the county row; the one municipality row equals the county row. Source-label totals must not be summed again with the separate municipality and county presentations. There are no source event bases in this Jackson selection spanning more than one source County label. Any future field-level documentation of multi-location hosting must be maintained as unresolved until individual venues and primary-host information can be corroborated.

$124,644 in modeled visitor-spending assumptions is not $124,644 of verified local impact

The CSV names three columns: DayImpact, OvernightImpact and TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent. Importantly, the purported “PerEvent” field is stored and calculated on each division row. The figures below are sums of 32 separate row models, not a study of nine independently measured tournament impacts.

Mathematical county proof: $15,980 modeled day-trip component + $108,664 modeled overnight component = $124,644 of source-modeled combined visitor spending. Both historical facility-label subtotals sum to precisely the same countywide three component values. At a physical-site level, the two labels point to one address until evidence proves otherwise.

Exact row-level logic: TeamsEntered × DayTripRate × DayStay = DayImpact; TeamsEntered × NightTripRate × OverNightStay = OvernightImpact; DayImpact + OvernightImpact = TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent. The underlying rates are not field-survey observations. More importantly, the model applies both day-trip and overnight calculations to the same team count without establishing mutually exclusive traveling cohorts; adding the components is a source arithmetic convention, not proof both types of actual visitor spending occurred independently.

Actual 2004–08 rate and overnight-stay parameters

No rate or stay-length variation exists among these 32 Jackson rows: each uses $85.00 for the day rate, $289.00 for the overnight rate, DayStay = 1 and OverNightStay = 2. We preserve the actual observed setting without replacing it with a statewide average or contemporary inflation-adjusted figure.

Worked original row example, 2004 event 15373-1: seven teams × $85 day rate × one day = $595 DayImpact. Seven teams × $289 overnight rate × two overnight-stay multipliers = $4,046 OvernightImpact. Source-calculated sum: $4,641 TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent for that one division row. These are assumed dollars per team-multiplier, not independently measured person/day expenditures or audited hotel payments.

County reconciliation using the uniform parameters observed here: 188 teams × $85 × 1 = $15,980 day model; 188 teams × $289 × 2 = $108,664 overnight model. Both source field sums match. This arithmetic demonstrates internal consistency, not the accuracy of the assumptions.

Nine event IDs, with a same-date 2006 identity question

The pair 15267 / 15270 share a May 12, 2006 Altus Shootout name and address, but source names Ted Cox for one and Rick Glasser for the other. Their source group sizes differ, as do their modeled financial totals. Event IDs are preserved as distinct data keys; contemporaneous USSSA event pages, schedules, field assignments, insurance certificates and registration ledgers are necessary to establish whether these were independently sanctioned events or alternate entries for the same activity.

Event-status markers are present on nine rows (one for each event base), while division status appears on every division row. The source model allocates $675 in event sanction fees across those markers, alongside $1,880 in per-team sanction fees, reconciling to $2,555. Neither the event marker nor a fee estimate establishes that an actual fee was paid.

2004–2008 activity by year

The 2004–08 window is a historical record slice. No 2026 Altus tournament revenue is implied by the source counts; current public facilities and governance material must not be retroactively assumed to govern the original events.

Historical source director names, USSSA sanctioning, and city collaboration

Historical records label directors Rick Glasser, Ted Cox, and Marie Gassaway. These source labels do not establish who controlled park property, received entry fees, paid officials, obtained a permit, operated concessions, or represented a legally constituted organization. The City documents a modern Parks & Recreation department that provides baseball and softball programming. That current relationship is a starting point for requests, not proof the same operator served in 2004–08. [S3]

Potential collaboration dimensions include field allocations, maintenance and lighting, sanitation, staffing, charitable scholarships, rules on gate collections, local organization duties, risk management and annual financial reporting. None of these are documented as executed 2004–08 agreements yet; their presence or absence cannot be inferred from a park name in a research database.

“Missile Park” and “Altus Youth Baseball” share a source address; deed evidence still governs

The City describes Cole Heights Park & Baseball Fields AKA Altus Missile Park and its own RecDesk system lists Missile Park, 601 Katy Drive. That supports an alias/location inference, but is not a title search. Until a deed, parcel map and applicable instrument are located, the publication’s use of “Altus” is municipal analytical attribution only, not a verified declaration that the City legally owned every listed field, building or improvement. [S2] [S4]

Documented county, school, tribal, trust, nonprofit, leasehold or private ownership must override the default attribution when authenticated. If a field schedule involves multiple sites, label the event “multi-location unresolved” and exclude arbitrary splitting of event-level financial estimates; retain an auditable chain of source IDs.

What a public-benefit ledger would have to establish

Public value cannot be inferred from a modeled gross gate. The ledger would need actual event permits, park use/maintenance expenditures, reimbursement agreements, field-lighting and utilities invoices, equipment and capital spending, revenue deposits, concessions vendor contracts, user-group annual reports, insurance certificates, scholarship allocation, and a methodology for any tourism claim.

For county-level government, requested payments must be traced to Jackson County rather than assuming municipal and county budgets are interchangeable. The fact that a facility lies within Jackson County does not make the county a field operator, gate collector or beneficiary.

Official audit scopes—and the limits of inferred findings

The City FY2023 independent audit says the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the reported respective financial position under the stated accounting framework. The 2023 Jackson County Treasurer statutory report expressly states it is less than a full financial audit, offers no opinion on county basic financial statements, and notes no exceptions to the listed statutory procedures. Neither report was an audit of these 2004–08 events. [S7] [S8]

Any observations in government financial statements must be evaluated under the specific fiscal period and government entity, and must not be attached to private youth-sports persons, donors or associations absent original transaction evidence.

District Attorney District 3 and a verified Oklahoma Supreme Court disposition

The Oklahoma District Attorneys Council identifies District 3 as serving Jackson County. District Attorney jurisdiction alone is not a complaint, investigation, indictment or adjudication. Prosecutorial authority and limitations must be assessed for any specific allegation with contemporaneous facts and applicable law. [S10]

The cited Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters v. City of Norman disposition is included solely to show an identifiable, officially reported Oklahoma Supreme Court open-records outcome, not to suggest litigation or an adverse judgment involving Altus, a youth-sports director or USSSA. The court outcome was reversal and remand with instructions on December 6, 2016—not a finding about Jackson County sporting activity. [S12]

Every field, formula and source assumption

Source identity: AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026.csv contains 20,305 division rows; this extraction uses the 32 rows where the literal source County cell is “Jackson”. The source-file SHA-256 is c8687be7b0543922e41563a2329cf131339486f5fb4f373bb69af3366f8b0256. Source facility names are kept unmodified in the provenance ledger; physical-site grouping is a separately disclosed analytical crosswalk.

Amounts were parsed using decimal arithmetic and tested against original row fields. The minimum-games column is taken from the source rather than reconstructed as games actually completed. All source dates, event names, directors and source statuses are treated as historical records requiring original event-page corroboration.

Independent validation: 352 row-field comparisons across 11 formulas produced zero arithmetic mismatches; geographic facilities and years also reconcile. These checks verify only relationships embedded in the research model.

Targeted City/County requests: January 1, 2001–November 10, 2026

The Oklahoma Open Records Act covers public-body records with applicable statutory exemptions; it does not automatically make an independent private group’s records public simply because it used public space. Requests should be directed to the custodian of existing government-held records and acknowledge permissible redaction, schedules and reasonable retrieval procedures. The City lists its Clerk as the official public-records function and its Parks & Recreation department as the sport-program contact. [S5] [S11]

1. Ownership and parcel chain: deeds, county assessor record cards, legal descriptions, 2001–2026 municipal capital asset schedules, City/County/school/tribal ownership or easements for 601 E Katy Drive; any Cole Heights/Missile Park naming resolutions and maps.
2. 2004–08 event proof: event booking and registration logs, permits, field diagrams, schedules, USSSA notifications, the 15267 and 15270 May 12, 2006 events, inclement-weather cancellations and official attendance counts.
3. Public/private organization agreements: contracts, park access licenses, insurance binders, board meeting approval, concessions permits, reporting requirements, fee waivers, revenue-sharing provisions, indemnification and governance documents actually held by the City.
4. Cash handling and receipts: city general-ledger accounts, bank deposits, gate receipts, concession operator payments, event rental invoices, tournament expense reimbursements, sponsor funds transferred to any public account, and any City Park Board reports; ask custodians to distinguish non-city records.
5. Operating and capital costs: mowing, lights, electric and irrigation bills, public labor time, construction, renovation, insurance, restrooms, sanitation, equipment and facility rentals by fiscal year for Missile Park/Cole Heights.
6. Economic-benefit claims: City-funded tourism studies, hotel tax records as aggregate nonpersonal totals if releasable, local spending surveys, and any documented analysis distinguishing gross spending from net-new impact.
7. Oversight and historical changes: city commission / parks committee agendas, adopted budgets, audits, correspondence with youth-sports operators and auditor management letters where disclosable; request a records index or itemized denial grounds for withheld material.

Priority search window: the tournament-specific accounting and bookings for January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008; extended source scope for land/title, funding histories and current operators January 1, 2001 through November 10, 2026. Request electronic copies of records as maintained and a written cost estimate before any fee-bearing search. No request was sent in preparing this draft.

Right of response: specific neutral questions, no accusation

The following are proposed questions only for the City of Altus, current/previous youth baseball organizations and the historic source-listed event directors, as applicable. This research has not made contact or received replies.

1. Do historical City records identify “Altus Youth Baseball” as an operator or simply an event-location label at 601 Katy Drive? Can you provide the actual 2004–08 facility permits and legal entity name?
2. How were Missile Park, Cole Heights Park, and Altus Youth Baseball described in dated site maps, leases and field agreements? Who held title and who controlled operations at each point?
3. Were May 12, 2006 source IDs 15267 and 15270 independent events, alternative registration groups, or duplicated data? Can historical bracket/permit records document the correct classification?
4. Did participants pay gate admission or concession prices consistent with any modeled CSV values? If not, what actual rates and amounts were documented?
5. Which costs, reports and deposits were municipal, which were independently operated by youth-sports organizations, and how were reimbursements and youth-program benefits documented?

Responses should be incorporated verbatim where useful, with dates, citations and a clear distinction between disputed claims and independently authenticated documents. Nonresponse is not evidence of agreement, liability or misconduct.

Publication thresholds, corrections ledger and documentary audit trail

Verification standards: Original CSV = model input; current municipal park page = name/location corroboration only; recorded deed = owner/title; executed 2004–08 agreement = operator duties; banking/settlement/receipt = actual income or disbursement; attendance and stay survey = observed visitor metrics; authenticated final court order = judicial outcome. No weaker source is treated as a stronger one.

Corrections log: November 10, 2026 — initial research draft prepared. No field corrections, public-record responses, organization responses or official litigation outcomes concerning the nine events have yet been authenticated. If new evidence changes event de-duplication, ownership, revenue, fields, or economic figures, preserve both versions and state the numeric effect, source URL, custodian, and correction date.

Slug: jackson-county-altus-missile-park-youth-baseball-2006-shootout-public-benefit-ledger

Excerpt: Day 26 reconciles nine Jackson County source event IDs, 32 division records and 188 team participations in Altus (2004–2008). It distinguishes $62,600 modeled gate and $124,644 modeled visitor spending from actual receipts, cross-checks two historical names at the same 601 Katy Drive site against the City’s Cole Heights/Missile Park listing, and preserves two same-date 2006 Altus Shootout IDs pending verification. No misconduct alleged.
