The Järva City District Council reviewed an office statement responding to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding the government's proposal for a national activity requirement for welfare recipients, obliging municipalities to provide activities.

The Järva City District Council was set to consider approving the design of a new six-apartment group home for individuals with disabilities in the Mariehamn 1 block.

The Järva District Council decided to take over the staffing of the reception at the Tensta administrative building starting in Q1 2027, ending their contract with security company Avarn.

The Moderates dissented, arguing the decision is unnecessary and will lead to higher taxpayer costs.

The Järva District Council dealt with a matter concerning the closure of a paternity investigation under the Parental Code. The decision in the case, with diary number JÄRVA 2026/380, was removed due to confidentiality, so it is not clear what the decision meant for the individual concerned.
