Councillors have been told to review plans to underwrite a £100,000 unveiling ceremony for a statue of Margaret Thatcher in her home town.
South Kesteven District Council's cabinet previously agreed to set aside funding for the event due to be held in Grantham this year.
The Conservative-led authority said the money would be recouped in donations.
The matter was put before a scrutiny committee on Tuesday after council leaders were criticised over the move.
Independent councillor Ashley Baxter requested the decision be called-in, saying it had been taken without a proper opportunity for discussion.
