A letter of expectation has gone to the council's investment arm, Christchurch City Holdings, to close the gap between the highest- and lowest-paid employees. The letter was made public after a vote and the matter was discussed in a public council meeting on Thursday. Councillor Mike Davidson said the council needs to indicate what it wants from its companies - without micro-managing them.
