You do not have to travel to be a council man.
According to informal guidance from the EEOC, the ADA does not require employers to provide personal attendant care on the job because reasonable accommodation does not require employers to provide personal need items or services. However, when an employee travels for work and incurs personal attendant care expenses beyond his/her usual expenses when not traveling for work, there is a good argument that the employer must pay the added costs.

Happened to find the ship I served on, when I was on the internet.
USS Shackle (ARS-9) was an Diver-class rescue and salvage ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy for service in World War II. She was responsible for coming to the aid of stricken vessels.
Shackle (ARS-9) was laid down on 26 October 1942 by the Basalt Rock Company in Napa, California; launched on 1 April 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Walker Cochran; and commissioned on 5 February 1944, Lt. Charles G. Jenkins, Jr., in command.

This is in regards to the aid that travels with Councilman Winters, I have been unable to receive all of the details that I have ask for, by request from the city clerks office.
I have a concern that we might get in legal trouble paying (probably in cash) to an aid that is not a city employee, and am told that the aid is required under the American Disabilities Act. Which I believe is debatable. My suggestion is, if you want the city to pay for Winter’s care when he travels, hire an aid from Personal Assistance Services (PAS). Who are defined as person-to-person services to assist people with disabilities with tasks they would perform if they did not have a disability. Traditionally, these services have focused on health care and activities of daily living.
Being able to travel out of state on your own is not a requirement to become a councilman of the City of Surprise.
