All agenda items
The Board is proposed to adopt several citywide action plans through 2030: for an age-friendly city, the rights of national minorities and the Sami people, the rights of LGBTQI people, Roma inclusion, children’s rights, and gender equality. The plans aim, among other things, to strengthen equal rights, participation, security, and equal living conditions, while the previous children’s rights and gender equality programs from 2018–2022 are proposed to be discontinued.
Stockholm Avfall AB proposes that the project for a new recycling centre in Lövsta be cancelled, as Stockholm Exergi has not received an environmental permit for the combined heat and power plant that would have required the current recycling centre to be relocated. The SEK 8.6 million already spent on planning and investigations is proposed to be recorded as an expense, while the existing recycling centre will receive only minor maintenance and improvements for the time being.
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to adopt a policy on competitive neutrality, effective October 1, 2026. The policy will ensure that the company’s sales comply with the law on public-sector sales activities and are conducted commercially, transparently, and on equal terms, including through market-based pricing and regular competition assessments.
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to adopt Stockholm Stadshus AB’s updated financial policy for the corporate group. The policy regulates how the companies manage loans, investments, financial risks and reporting; this year’s changes are editorial only and do not affect the content.
The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve the financial monthly report for July 2026. The company’s loans total SEK 36.877 billion, which is SEK 540 million more than the previous month and corresponds to 85.8 percent of the borrowing limit; the interest rate was 2.83 percent and the city’s guarantee commitment was SEK 4 million.
The City Council will receive the minutes from Stockholm Avfall AB’s meeting on 11 June 2026. The minutes cover, among other things, waste charges, food-waste collection, major investments, the company’s finances, and measures following the City Audit Office’s review, but contain no new decisions affecting residents in this matter.
The Waste Management Administration proposes that the Waste Committee approve a report on decisions made by officials under delegated authority during May–July 2026. The decisions concern, among other things, temporary suspensions of waste collection, shared waste containers, and changed emptying intervals for grease separators at addresses across Stockholm; several applications were approved in full, approved in part, or rejected.
The Waste Management Board proposes a waste fee schedule for 2027, with an average increase of 3 percent, to be forwarded to the City Council for approval. This would mean approximately SEK 105 more per year for detached homes and SEK 55 more per year for an apartment; separately sorted food waste is proposed to remain free, while fees for apartment buildings and businesses vary depending on the collection system.
The Waste Management Board is proposed to approve updated delegation rules, specifying which decisions may be made by the department director and experts instead of the Board. The proposal updates references to Stockholm’s waste regulations and adds delegated authority for matters including exemptions from property-near collection and the municipality’s secondary responsibility for retail waste, which should speed up processing.
The Waste Management Board will consider the minutes from its meeting on June 11, 2026. They include, among other things, a proposal in principle to increase the waste fee by 4 percent in 2027 and proposed changes to Stockholm’s waste management regulations; the fee will be developed in greater detail later, and the regulations are proposed for submission to the City Council.
Stockholm Housing Agency presented board statistics for September 2026. The board decided to note the statistics, with no further decision about the housing agency.
The Housing Agency’s consultation response on the city’s cultural programme highlighted how stable housing affects people’s ability to participate in cultural and community life. In its response on the city’s housing targets, the company noted that demand for rental housing remains high and that any changes to construction should be preceded by a comprehensive analysis; the minutes did not say how the consultation responses were handled.
The board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB adopted the financial policy for the Stockholms Stadshus AB group on 24 September 2026. The policy sets out how the group’s finances and financial risks are to be managed.
The Board adopted several new citywide plans and guidelines that Bostadsförmedlingen must follow, including measures against racism and policies on the rights of older people, national minorities, LGBTQI people and Roma. The company must also follow the city’s new procurement programme and waste plan, draw up its own rules on representation, bribery and conflicts of interest, and use a new programme for municipal service providers; several older plans and guidelines have been discontinued.
The Board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB adopted the revised rules of procedure and instructions on the division of responsibilities between the board and the managing director. The decision concerned the company’s internal operations and did not directly change how Stockholm residents apply for housing.
The Board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB approved the second interim report for 2026, including a forecast for the year’s results. The report also included a review of the company’s internal controls.
The Guardianship Board noted the Disability Council’s minutes from 20 August 2026. No other decisions or discussions are reported.
The Hässelby-Vällingby district committee approved the administration’s response to the Centre Party’s proposal on allotment gardens and urban farming. The administration agreed that urban farming is beneficial, but noted that allocating new land for allotment gardens must be weighed against other needs and would likely be considered as part of the comprehensive planning process; other efforts to promote urban farming are under way, including work with the Traffic Administration.
The committee noted the minutes of the Hässelby-Vällingby Pensioners’ Council meeting held on 14 September 2026. It decided in line with the administration’s proposal; no other decisions or voting results were reported.
