All agenda items

Stockholm Water AB's board has approved the company's budget and operational plan for 2026. A specific point was raised concerning the importance of innovation and development in the water and wastewater sector to reduce climate impact and enhance Stockholm's attractiveness. The board will receive an overview of research and development projects in the water and wastewater area, including those Stockholm Water AB is involved in, with an assessment of opportunities for further participation.

This agenda item concerns the approval of several consultation responses by the board of Stockholm Avfall AB. These responses relate to proposals for a national nature restoration plan, a new environmental assessment authority, and an action program for water in the Northern Baltic Sea water district. The board also reviewed an audit report on combating work-related crime.

Stockholm City Hall AB is updating its guidelines for how subsidiaries should plan and manage major investments exceeding 300 million SEK or those deemed strategically important. These changes, effective January 1, 2026, include clearer rules for calculating and reporting expected cost increases (inflation and index) in investment calculations. This aims to provide better control and clarity over project finances for Stockholm's residents.

This report provides an update on major investment projects managed by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB, all exceeding a 200 million SEK budget. It details the status of 43 projects, with 29 currently in their implementation phase. Several projects, including new water mains in Flemingsbergsdalen, wastewater treatment upgrades in Henriksdal, and new reservoirs in Tensta and Uggleviken, have experienced delays or budget revisions due to factors like increased costs and complex geological conditions. Two climate adaptation projects in Bromstensstaden are being terminated due to cost-benefit concerns, and the project for a new recycling center in Lövsta is on hold pending a court decision.

Stockholm Avfall AB reports on procurements exceeding 10 million Swedish kronor that were decided by the CEO from July to December 2025. This includes, among other things, the treatment of wood and branches from recycling centers, operation and maintenance of vacuum waste systems in Hagastaden and Kista Norra, as well as maintenance of water reservoirs and water and sewer lines in various parts of the city.

Stockholm Avfall AB, responsible for the city's waste management, will send participants to the Avfall Sverige annual meeting and conference in Västerås in 2026. Four board members, two from the majority and two from the opposition, will attend the conference. Additionally, a representative will be appointed to represent the company at the formal annual meeting.

The board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to make a revised decision for the vacuum waste collection facility in Bromma Riksby. This means the planned vacuum waste facility for new housing and businesses in Bromma Riksby will be reduced in scope, leading to the termination of several sub-projects and a decrease in the budget for the planning phase by SEK 4.4 million to SEK 5.6 million. The total budget for the project is estimated at SEK 67.3 million, a reduction of SEK 129 million compared to previous plans. The vacuum waste facility will handle residual waste, food waste, and plastic packaging for approximately 1450 new homes and commercial premises.

Stockholm Avfall AB proposes a new service guarantee for waste collection, named "Närsorterat" (Nearby Sorted). This guarantee is expanded to cover households with detached houses or terraced houses that sort residual waste, food waste, and packaging waste, instead of just residual waste as before. If waste is not collected on three separate occasions within the same quarter, the household will receive a 20 SEK deduction on their next invoice per missed collection.

The November 2025 monthly report shows Stockholm Water and Waste Ltd.'s debt reached SEK 33,918 million, an increase of SEK 231 million from the previous month. The company has utilized 91.7% of its credit limit, which has now been extended to SEK 43,000 million for 2026. The monthly interest rate for November was 2.65 percent, with a forecast indicating it could rise to 3.27 percent by November 2028.

Stockholm Waste AB's board has approved the company's budget and operational plan for 2026. This budget includes a plan for waste and water management, with a focus on ensuring good health, quality of life, and environmental protection for residents. The board emphasizes cost control, transparency, and leveraging new innovations to reduce climate impact and keep fees down for households.

The City Executive Board has circulated a proposed action plan for an age-friendly city to various committees and administrations for feedback. The Culture Administration and City Archives approve of the changes, especially those promoting increased participation and social inclusion for seniors. They also highlight the crucial role of city libraries in supporting non-digital seniors to avoid exclusion. The Culture Administration has no further comments beyond those already submitted.

The Culture Committee is set to approve the City Archives' activity report for 2025. The City Archives preserve Stockholm's history and make it accessible to the public, handling approximately 21,000 archive requests during the year, an increase of nearly nine percent. They also digitalize materials and offer programs and viewings that attracted nearly 7,000 visitors, with a focus on women's history and other underrepresented groups.

This matter concerns the City Archives reporting various delegated decisions. These decisions involve revisions to rules for the preservation and culling of documents from EU projects, as well as for Stockholm Business Region and the Cemeteries Administration. Essentially, these decisions govern how the city's documents are managed and stored.

Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB presented its 2025 annual report, revealing a record-breaking 20,861 apartments allocated, including thousands for youth and students, and contributing to housing for vulnerable groups. The company also reported a healthy financial position with a surplus of SEK 13.8 million and ongoing work to protect personal data.

The Stockholm Housing Agency's board has approved its budget and operational plan for 2026, and established new rules for housing queues and allocations, directly impacting housing applicants. The board also discussed obtaining more detailed statistics on allocated apartments, the potential to influence the construction of larger apartments, and the digitalization of the allocation process.

AB Familjebostäder's board approved a report detailing the CEO's decisions on major investments for 2025, ranging from 7 to 50 million SEK per project. These include new housing investigations in Solberga, Tensta, Fruängen, and Fagersjö, as well as facade and window renovations in Stureby and Högdalen, water pipe replacement in Farsta Centrum, LED lighting installation, safety upgrades in Svedmyra, Högdalen, and Årsta, and converting a property in Farsta strand to LSS housing.

AB Familjebostäder reported strong results for 2025, investing approximately 450 million SEK in renovating existing homes with new installations, maintenance, and safety measures. Additionally, the company is constructing new rental units, with 166 apartments in production and 79 new projects initiated this year, while also improving customer satisfaction, enhancing safety in areas like Tensta and Rinkeby, and reducing its climate impact through efforts in energy use and recycling.

This matter concerns the board receiving various documents and information, rather than making new decisions directly affecting residents. They will be informed of minutes from the Council for Disability Issues, new guidelines for the companies' investments, and several consultations regarding housing in Midsommarkransen, the detailed development plan for Bällsta Hamn, and a roadmap for the city center Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik.

This matter concerns the adoption of an updated working procedure and instructions for Stockholm City Parking AB. The most significant change is that it will no longer be possible to receive documents by mail; instead, all communication will be conducted digitally via an e-service. The aim is to streamline the board's work and adapt the procedures for how meetings are held and decisions are made, including rules for remote participation and handling sensitive information.

This decision mandates that Stockholm City's companies must adhere to several new municipal guidelines. These include working against racism, complying with new procurement rules, following a waste management plan for 2025-2030, and establishing clear policies against bribery and conflicts of interest. These directives will be integrated into the companies' internal procedures.
