STOCKTON - A city panel Thursday endorsed a plan for the transfer of Stockton's water and sewer utilities from private to municipal control, promising in the transition's oversight to involve activists who sued the city to undo its privatization deal.

If approved next month by the City Council, the plan would establish an oversight group including labor groups, activists and the council's water panel, the body that recommended the plan Thursday.
