The disgraced former Tory councillor Dominic Peacock is attending a council meeting for the first time since the end of June.
He was thrown out of the East Riding's ruling Tory group then after posting offensive comments online about the late MP Jo Cox - and later cautioned by the police.
If Mr Peacock had not attended a council meeting by the end of next month he would have been automatically removed from the council leading to a bye-election.

Campaigners furious over minor injury unit proposals
Amanda White
BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
It's looking likely that many of East Yorkshire's minor injuries (MIU) units will close.
The Clinical Commissioning Group has released a draft consultation document in which they want to replace the area's five current units with two or three Urgent Care Centres.
Withernsea, Hornsea and Driffield could loose their MIU all together.
I met up with June Barton of Hornsea Cottage Hospital League of Friends and Barbara Jefferson who is a local campaigner.
