A private Christchurch City Council meeting into the future of embattled chief executive Tony Marryatt has wrapped up this morning, but it could be days before what was discussed is known.
A council spokeswoman said the meeting had come to an end, but Mayor Bob Parker would not be making any comment about it today.
The council's chief executive committee had prepared a report on Mr Marryatt's future which was discussed behind closed doors.
Mr Marryatt's contract expires in December next year.
If city councillors decide he will not return to his desk from his special leave he is likely be paid out for the rest of his contract. He receives $538,529 a year.
