Farley Reeves presented a recommendation that Friendship ISD enter a new scoreboard sponsorship agreement for the Tiger Pit, describing two 10‑year sponsorships with static banners on the east and west scoreboard ends. "The advertisement agreement totals $50,000 for each of the 2, participants," Reeves said. He added that rights under each license would commence Oct. 1 and terminate Sept. 30, 2035.
Trustee Miller announced a recusal before the vote: "I will recuse myself from this vote, as it concerns my employer, Citibank." The board then heard a motion. The motion to adopt the recommendation was made by Miss Tammy Phillips and seconded by Mister Kyle Rogers. The board chair called the vote and the motion carried; on the record the board said, "All in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, nay." The transcript records no roll‑call tally and Miller is shown as recused from voting.
Reeves described the two sponsors as an existing partner, Citibank, which will continue, and a new partner identified in the presentation as the West Texas Land group. Each sponsor will have a static banner displaying an approved logo at either end of the Tiger Pit scoreboard. The presentation noted Memorial Hospital upgrades to the facility prompted a new sponsorship arrangement to match facility quality.
The board did not attach conditions to the approval during the meeting; trustees approved the measure in a single voice vote after the recusal.
Background: The presentation characterized the agreements as advertising signage licenses; the term and financial amount were specified on the record. The district did not provide a detailed cost‑benefit analysis during the public presentation.
