Up to £100,000 will be paid to an interim housing director at Nottingham City Council for just under four months of work.
A delegated decision, made outside a public council meeting, was first detailed back in March last year (2022) to appoint a housing director on a temporary basis.
The role was created in response to the discovery of the wrongly spent Housing Revenue Account (HRA) millions, and at the time up to £140,000 was allocated to fund the role.
