A former county council leader who misused his chauffeur-driven car is expected to face a final bill of more than £3,500.
David Parsons will be told to pay for 29 journeys he made in the civic limousine during his nine years in charge of Leicestershire County Council.
The council's corporate governance committee considered a report of the findings of an investigation into his behaviour on Friday.
The report concluded 27 of the 94 chauffeur-driven trips made during Mr Parsons's nine years in office were "not sufficiently connected with his role".
The committee agreed no further action could be taken against Mr Parsons now he is no longer a councillor.
He chose not to seek re-election in last month's county council elections.
The committee did, however, authorise further investigation into the total amount owed to the council.
A spokesman said: "Director of corporate resources Brian Roberts told the committee Mr Parsons would be invoiced for the 29 journeys identified by the investigator as inappropriate shortly, adding it looked like the total cost would be just over £3,500, inclusive of VAT.
"Mr Roberts also said Mr Parsons had been invoiced already for a £752 bill for early termination of his council lease car agreement."
Mr Parsons resigned as council leader in July and later quit the Tory group.
Corporate governance committee chairman David Snartt said: "We would have preferred this matter to be put to bed earlier but it has been a complex investigation.
"It's time to draw a line under the whole affair.
"One positive outcome is we've had a look at how members' allowances are regulated and monitored and note the positive work done in this area by all party groups.
"Hopefully, it will ensure this never happens again."
