All agenda items

This matter concerns the notification of several decisions made by the Real Estate Department and its chairman. These include the decision to sell an apartment at Svartviksslingan 73 and another at Svartviksslingan 112, as well as the by-election of Lennart Björk to the joint disability council of the Real Estate Committee and the Environment and Health Protection Committee.

This is a notification for information about a decision that has already been made. The City Council has approved the city's Chemical Plan for 2025-2031, which means all committees and city-owned companies must work in accordance with this plan to reduce the spread of harmful chemicals. The previous plan for 2020-2023 and the action plan for reduced microplastic dissemination are thereby no longer valid.

The heads of the labor market administration discussed several matters, including ongoing renovations at Komvux Södermalm disrupting operations and plans to move offices from Palmfelt Center to Tensta by late 2028 at the earliest. They also approved "Lärkedjan," a new 20.3 million SEK project aiming to help individuals with mild intellectual disabilities secure jobs as care or kitchen assistants, with a target employment rate of 55%.

The Labour Market Committee's Council for Disability Issues has reported on its work, including a 2026 activity plan. This plan focuses on Stockholm being an inclusive employer and improving the transition from education to employment for people with disabilities. The Council advocates for removing discriminatory requirements in job advertisements, increasing individualized support, and is exploring digital meetings to enhance member accessibility.

The Disability Council for Labor Market Issues worked in 2025 to make the City of Stockholm a more inclusive employer, easing the transition from study to work for people with disabilities. The council advised the labor market administration and influenced the budget to ensure accessibility and equal conditions. While progress in knowledge and competence regarding participation is noted, the council emphasizes the need for continued strong focus on resources and collaboration for full integration.

This matter provides an ongoing report to the City Council on decisions made by officials under delegated authority, along with an overview of incoming and initiated cases within the Labour Market Administration. The report covers numerous internal administrative decisions, such as recruitments and procurements, and also informs about activities related to adult education (Komvux), job centers (Jobbtorg Stockholm), summer jobs for youth, and integration matters.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new action plan to become an age-friendly city, aiming to ensure older people have equal rights, can actively participate in society, access relevant services, and counteract ageism. The Labour Market Administration specifically emphasizes including older individuals in the workforce and requests a clearer definition of "older" within the plan.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm replace 1,000 summer jobs with "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation) for youth by 2026, aiming to provide more meaningful, long-term labor market integration through business collaboration. The Labour Market Administration finds SAO jobs interesting but believes they fall under the Education Administration's purview and that the proposed 2026 timeline for converting summer jobs is unfeasible.

The City of Stockholm is developing a new food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to ensure meals in municipal operations like schools and elderly care are healthy, climate-friendly, and environmentally sound. This program will also help residents make sustainable and healthy food choices and strengthen the city's food supply during crises.

A pilot project offering summer jobs in 2025 to 31 14-15 year olds with social needs, selected by social services in Järva and Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, has been evaluated and deemed successful. The project strengthened the youths and complemented social service efforts, with 25 of 31 completing their jobs. It is recommended that this initiative be implemented on a small scale going forward, with improvements to ensure high quality and suitable workplaces.

The City of Stockholm reported on its 2025 efforts to support over 8,300 young people under 20 who are not in or have not completed high school. The municipality successfully reached over 3,000 of them with support and interventions. Of those assisted, 58 percent resumed their studies, marking the highest number since 2011.

The City of Stockholm has appointed a jury for the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize, which awards 100,000 SEK to initiatives that promote integration and create meeting places between new and established Stockholmers. The proposed jury includes the chair and vice-chair of the labor market committee, along with representatives from IBM, Familjebostäder, Föreningen Midsommargården, Miljöverkstaden Flaten, and Rädda Barnen. Residents can nominate candidates for the prize via the city's website between March 1st and 22nd.

The Labour Market Committee has submitted its 2025 activity report, detailing efforts to help more Stockholmers find jobs and education. Despite high unemployment, over 9,200 individuals, many on social assistance or with disabilities, received support via Jobbtorg Stockholm, and a record 11,700 young people secured summer jobs. The report also highlights expanded adult education and preparations for new laws aimed at increasing self-sufficiency.

This agenda covers several referrals from Stockholm City Hall AB and its subsidiaries concerning waste management, property formation, and building permit matters. Notably, the new sorting and food waste facility in Högdalen, utilizing NIR technology for automated sorting, has been completed. This facility is expected to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 32,800 tons of CO2 equivalents annually and facilitate food waste collection for households. Additionally, a positive response has been given to a national classification structure for building cases under the Planning and Building Act, while emphasizing the need for controlled and gradual implementation.

The City Council has decided on several new guidelines for Stockholm's municipal companies. These include a chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, a business policy to improve the business climate, guidelines for designing better preschool and schoolyards, an action plan for housing supply, and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new construction to promote sustainable travel and reduce private car use in the city.

Stockholms Stadshus AB is updating its internal rules for who can approve purchases and payments, and the amounts they can handle. This is being done to ensure invoices and salaries are managed correctly and securely, especially following changes in the company's management. The changes aim to improve internal control and reduce the risk of incorrect payments.

The Municipal Executive Board proposes changes to Stockholmsmässan's articles of association. These are mainly administrative, clarifying the company's purpose to adhere to municipal principles, allowing for the engagement of an audit firm instead of a named auditor, and modernizing the language. These updates, similar to those made to other municipal companies in 2024, are not expected to affect Stockholmsmässan's current operations.

Stockholm Vatten AB intends to reduce its ownership in Syvab AB, which operates the Himmerfjärdsverket wastewater treatment plant, from approximately 33 percent to about 14 percent. This is because Stockholm Vatten will be directing some of its wastewater to the Henriksdals treatment plant instead, leading to reduced use of Himmerfjärdsverket. Simultaneously, the municipalities of Ekerö and Trosa will become owners of Syvab, and Stockholm Vatten's guarantee commitment in Syvab will decrease from approximately 860 million SEK to about 225 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm is planning a major renovation and expansion of Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, which includes a new sports hall. The project, estimated to cost SEK 461.7 million, will provide the school with permanent, long-term capacity and modern facilities for adapted compulsory school. The sports hall will be accessible to the school during daytime hours and to local sports clubs in the evenings and on weekends.

The Stockholm City Executive Board has approved the renovation and expansion of the Tensta Reservoir in Järva, which is vital for the drinking water supply in Västerort. The existing reservoir, serving approximately 220,000 people, dates back to 1969 and requires modernization. The plan is to first build a new reservoir next to the old one, and then renovate the existing one, a project expected to take eight years in total, from 2026 to 2034, to secure water quality, supply reliability, and improve pressure conditions in the water network for residents.
