Hi Alex

The information you have requested below is taking considerably than expected as it is not straightforward due to the number employee agreements. Employee agreements contain extra payments, agreed to over many years, to staff for various reasons. These are not reimbursing payments i.e. non-taxable. The extra payments are not converted into the hourly rates. Council maintains with its staff. This work would normally be charged for and the charges would be significant (around $1,500).

However, I would expect this work will be completed by the end of next week and it will be supplied without cost.

Please confirm receipt of this email and your agreement to this requested extension of time.

Regards,

Fiona Green
