Subject: Official Information request - Karori trust

Dear Wellington City Council,

I am interested in the decision-making process and communications relating to which employees were included in Council-Controlled Organisations' wage subisdy applications (and that of Council's itself if applicable).

I am requesting the following information under the LGOIMA and OIA:

For Zealandia/Karori Sanctuary Trust:

(1) A copy of all external or internally-generated advice/information on the subject of the eligibility of employees for the wage subsidy scheme, or minutes/recollection of conversation if advice was verbal.

(2) A copy of all internal communications relating to the decision-making process and decisions on applying for the wage subsidy scheme, or not applying, for different staff members. This includes communication between management members and between staff & management. I would like a copy of:
- Meeting, phone calls and conversation minutes (or recollection of these if minutes were not recorded), including dates the communication;
- Emails or messages, including dates of communication; and
- Any other relevant documentation.

(3) A copy of all internal commuications relating to how managers communicate with staff regarding decisions on applying for, or not applying for, the wage subsidy.

For any other Council-Controlled Organisations (and the Council itself) that included some, but not all, staff on a wage subsidy application:

(4) A copy of all external or internally-generated advice/information on the subject of the eligibility of employees for the wage subsidy scheme, or minutes/recollection of conversation if advice was verbal.

The timeframe I am interested in is from 10 March 2020 up to the date the request for information is recieved by each CCO.

Note: I do not require names of junior staff members, but I do require an indication where these names are redacted whether the staff member was included in the wage subsidy application or not.

I would appreciate a timely response; please break this request into parts and/or transfer it, if this will enable a faster reply.

Jeanne Smith
