Hudson County youth football organizers ask commissioners for $23,000 to cover season costs
Summary
Representatives of the Hudson County Youth Football Program requested $23,000 to cover referee fees (~$20,300), trophies (~$1,200) and miscellaneous season costs; commissioners suggested meeting with county staff to review needs and explore supplemental funding sources.
Vincent Johnson and Patricia Rodriguez of the Hudson County Youth Football Program asked the Hudson County Board for a $23,000 appropriation to cover referee costs, championship trophies and other season expenses for the 2025 season.
Rodriguez said referee costs total about $20,300, with roughly $1,200 for trophies and the remainder for miscellaneous expenses; board members and county staff expressed support, advised the group to meet with county administration (including Craig Guy and Dave Drumbler) to review spending, and suggested exploring available grants and assistance through county grant-support staff.
Commissioners pledged support in principle and encouraged the group to meet with the county point people to confirm needs and funding sources before a formal appropriation.
