The Commissioners Court is having to spend more money on the new County Administrator's office.
One item of interest that caught Commissioner Carlos Leon's attention was an expense for a refrigerator.
To which County Judge Veronica Escobar said that the ADA requires the employees have access to refrigerators to store medications. She went on further to say every department gets that.
I am sorry if I am not an ADA expert, but is there a requirement that that there be a refrigerator within certain walking distance or that X amount of refrigerators need to be available on each floor?
This all seems a bit silly.
At least in the private sector, which Veronica Escobar has never been in, generally there is a refrigerator and it is in the break room. There isn't a rule that every department gets one.
Escobar's reasoning borders on bullshit.
She just wants another place to stash her meds...her white zinfadel and chardonnay.
