The committee agreed to advance a proposal that would create a separate Department of Water and Wastewater in the city charter and move some responsibilities out of the Department of Public Works; if the charter change is placed on the ballot and approved by voters, the new department would be established by the city charter. The separate proposal to set up a parking benefits district fund (to return some parking meter revenue to a defined area) was discussed but not voted on and remains undecided.
