Please see the email train from Warwick Hayes below.  It appears that we need to stay committed to 
our obligations to pay the living wage, so although we will only get a subsidy for 80% of wages, we 
will need to top up to contract level, for both permanent and casual staff. 
 
This is likely to be something that will be checked at audit time. 
 
Please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Stephen 
Thanks, appreciated.   
 
I’ll see what we have in the virtual space for learning Te Reo.   
 
In terms of living wage – Council is not retracing its steps here so this commitment will remain.  It 
would be expected to remain for CCOs too.  Andy might comment further if needed.

Hello Warwick 
 
Please see attached the weekly update from Wellington Cable Car.   
 
You will see that I have a question about our obligations to support casual workers.  We will apply 
for the Government support at 80%, are we obligated to pay casual workers at the living wage, if 
they are on special leave for Covid-19? 
 
Also, does Council have any recommendations for virtual Te Reo language resources that we can 
direct staff to at this time? 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need anything further.

Hi all 
I hope everyone is well and settling into the new normal.   
 
Council is keen to keep abreast of how Covid-19 is affecting (or will affect) CCO activities, staffing 
and finances.  We greatly appreciate the quick daily updates we’re already getting (in some cases) 
but thought it might be helpful to standardise a weekly Situation Report, along the lines of the 
attached.  Don’t feel restricted by the format – but this is what we are interested in.   
 
Please don’t throw hours of your time into the status/issues update.  Quick brief statements will be 
great.   
 
In terms of cash flows, I appreciate the forecasts may take a bit of time.  If you have these already 
that’s great but don’t necessarily expect to see them tomorrow.  Please do supply what you can as 
soon as possible.   
 
Sorry to burden you at this time, but this reporting will help keep Council well informed and 
hopefully minimise the need for additional information to Council.

Hi everyone 
Many thanks to those entities that have already informed me of their operations and business plans 
under the imminent Level 4 lock down.   
 
Going forward, it will be helpful to retain a single point of contact through the CCO team (i.e. myself 
and Danny).  We will involve Barbara and others as needed.   

 
This will be a unique BAU time for us all.  Please do keep in touch as necessary.

Subject: 2020/21 Statements of Intent / Financial Forecasts  
 
Good morning all  
 
In response to the dynamic environment caused by Covid-19, Council intends to accept all draft 
Statements of Intent without further amendment or discussion of the impacts that could result from 
the Covid-19 pandemic on the draft SOIs.   
 
At this stage, it is unlikely that the CCO Subcommittee meeting scheduled on 8th April will proceed in 
its planned format and you will not be expected to attend in person nor make any presentation to 
this meeting.   
 
 
Looking ahead 
 
Council would appreciate you continuing to keep us informed, via the CCO team, of the operational 
responses taken by your business to this event, and of any consequent financial implications for your 
business.   
 
As a guide, it would be helpful for the CCO team to receive a three month rolling cash flow forecast, 
updated monthly or as circumstances for your entity materially change.  It would help to include 
brief operational responses as a covering letter or memo with the monthly forecast, for context.   
Resources permitting, this process could begin for the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020 and 
monthly thereafter.   
 
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Warwick Hayes.   
 
Regards 
 
Barbara
