The Independent Commission Against Corruption is expected to release its third and final report into the scandal, which could recommend Ms Morgan and Mr Vellar be charged with criminal offences.

A number of ex-councillors and developers also will be anxiously awaiting the final report, which will mark the end of ICAC's investigation into corruption allegations in Wollongong.

ICAC's public hearing in February heard evidence that councillors met with developers to discuss controversial proposals such as the North Beach Bathers' Pavilion.

Deputy mayor at the time, Kiril Jonovski, and two of his fellow ALP councillors - Zeki Esen and Frank Gigliotti - stood down from the council on the fourth day of ICAC hearings.

They denied they had met developer Frank Vellar at the Flame Tree Cafe in Wollongong in October 2006, before taped phone conversations were played that suggested they had. Days later councillors Jonovski and Esen recanted their evidence. Cr Gigliotti stood by his testimony.

The hearings also heard that convicted conmen Ray Younan and Gerald Carroll impersonated ICAC officers in order to solicit bribes.

It was revealed Cr Gigliotti had been filmed giving Younan a $500 case of Chivas Regal scotch whisky.

Cr Val Zanotto told the inquiry he paid Younan $120,000 because Younan had threatened his family.

Former Wollongong City Council sustainability manager Joe Scimone admitted he paid a $30,000 bribe to have a file on him "cleaned up".

During the hearings former council chief executive Rod Oxley was questioned about his relationship with developers and was accused of interfering in development applications.

Developer Glenn Tabak was questioned over his relationship with Ms Morgan and with Mr Scimone.

In March the commission released its first report which led to the council's sacking. Its next report, in May, found that Mr Vellar and Ms Morgan engaged in corrupt conduct, but did not recommend criminal charges.
