The committee also saw its first runoff for the position of chairman against Coun. Denis Carr and Coun. Bernadette Clement.
In a secret ballot, Carr was chosen to lead the committee through 2017 budget talks.
Clement was subsequently chosen as vice chairman of the budget steering committee.
A special meeting for the 2017 water and sewer budget will be held Nov. 7, 2016 at 6 p.m.
This was also the first budget for newly appointed CFO Tracey Bailey.
