Who gets to say how £120,000 is spent on small projects across Moray is set to be considered next week.
At Moray Council's budget meeting in March, it was decided there should be one-off allocation of £15,000 to sort out minor issues in each of the region's eight wards – which adds up to £120,000 in total.
The proposal, put forward by the Labour group, aims to address problems raised with councillors by groups and individuals.
It was suggested that before any of this money is released the majority of councillors for a particular ward would have to agree for the project to go forward.
If that cannot be achieved then the proposal would be brought to the council's corporate committee for consideration.
Six of the eight wards in Moray have three elected members each, while the other two are both represented by four councillors.
In a report on the issue, Lorraine Paisley, the council's chief financial officer, says: "Adopting the requirement for a two-thirds agreement from local members on expenditure of the ward budgets would be in line with the process for common good and developer obligation monies."
The local authority's corporate committee will meet to discuss this and other issues on Tuesday.
Moray's eight council wards are as follows: Forres; Elgin North; Elgin South; Heldon and Laich; Buckie; Keith and Cullen; Fochabers/Lhanbyde and Speyside/Glenlivet.
