The Military Affairs Committee helps put on the annual Altus Quail Breakfast and longhorn cattle drive. The MAC also uses EDC funds to support attendance at the Air Force Associa- tion and Airlift/Tanker Association conventions and facilitate the annu- al awarding of the Altus Trophy. The report also states tourism expenses for the first quarter are $61,000 which is 80 percent of the $76,500 fiscal year budget because “the larger tour- ism promotion grants awarded by the EDC were paid in this quar- ter, causing the tourism portion of this quarter’s expenses to be a larger percentage.” Tourism promotion grant recipients include: • Flying O Productions, team roping and rodeo, $8,000; • The Skate Place, event center, $5,000; • Western Trail Histor- ical Society, $15,000; • City of Altus Parks and Recreation, Fourth of July activities and Christmas in the Park, $11,500; • Western Oklahoma State College, tourna- ment tourism, $6,500; and • Great Plains Stam- pede Rodeo, $15,000. Expo Center expenses totaled $3,190.49 for util- ities, gas, custodial ser- vices, and supplies. For more information, the report can be found included in the Nov. 6 City Council agenda at www.altusok.gov or you can call Kerr at (580) 482- 0210.
