Acting Christchurch City Council boss Jane Parfitt may get a $90,000-plus pay rise today.
The Star can reveal that city councillors will meet behind closed doors to vote on whether Ms Parfitt will get an extra $91,104 added to her current $324,651 annual pay packet.
A confidential report prepared by the city council's general manager human resources Chris Till says the pay hike acknowledges the increased responsibilities Ms Parfitt has as acting chief executive.
She took over the reigns in July after controversial chief executive Tony Marryatt was sent on special leave pending a Crown investigation into the city council's loss of its consent accreditation.
Ms Parfitt was promoted from her role as general manager city environment.
