The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's proposal responding to the City Executive Board's referral on the "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030." This plan aims to strengthen the city's gender equality efforts by focusing on knowledge, welfare, service, participation, and influence, ensuring all Stockholm residents have equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. However, several committee members, including the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, and Liberals, dissented, raising concerns about the action plan's clarity, measurability, and perceived emphasis on theoretical principles over concrete measures.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved the administration's proposal to introduce digital personnel files in the City of Stockholm, which means all existing paper files will be scanned to create a unified digital record. This aims to streamline document handling, enhance information security, and reduce storage costs. However, Moderate party members issued a separate statement emphasizing the need for robust security and thorough preparation, citing previous data theft incidents and other digitalization project experiences.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the basis for its 2027 budget, with a focus on 2028 and 2029.

The Sweden Democrats also issued a special statement criticizing the budget basis for uncertain funding in key areas.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee noted a protocol from the Council for Disability Issues, dated March 18, 2026. The Council's meeting covered topics including the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's new building regulations, the Planning and Building Act, and Stockholm's bomb shelters. It was highlighted that the City of Stockholm manages approximately 2,000 shelters, mostly in residential buildings, and that current regulations prioritize protection over accessibility for people with disabilities, which the Council identified as a major concern.

The Real Estate Committee approved a status report for the Hagsätra ice and sports hall project at Hagsätra IP. Despite a positive construction start, the project faces budget and procurement challenges, a reduced area of approximately 2,000 square meters, and a delay of about one year. The committee requests a more detailed follow-up on remaining risks, rental consequences, timeline, and the effects of the project's changed scope in the next report.

The Real Estate Committee approved a project directive and tasked the Real Estate Department with investigating the conditions for new premises for the Norra innerstaden district administration in the properties Spelbomskan 3 and 17. This investigation, estimated to cost up to 8 million SEK, will form the basis for a future strategic decision. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, advocating for a broader investigation that included comparisons with other locations and a detailed account of costs and impact on existing operations.

The Real Estate Committee approved a status report on the renovation and development of Älvsjöbadet. The renovation is extensive, as original plans to renovate existing pools were changed to demolition and new construction of stainless steel pools. Vice Chairman Henrik Virro (M) and others emphasized the importance of clear cost transparency, risk management, and future operating costs, and requested the office investigate how external actors can contribute to the bath's services and revenue.

The Real Estate Committee approved an implementation decision for a new administration office for the Järva City District Administration at Kämpinge 2, meaning the City Council is now proposed to approve the project and the Real Estate Committee can carry it out. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, proposing instead that Kämpinge 2 be sold, or that existing premises be adapted and parts of the administration decentralized to be closer to citizens.

The Real Estate Committee approved a proposal to construct a temporary hall at Dalhagens Sports Ground in Akalla. This decision means the committee now recommends the City Council also approve the project and authorize the Real Estate Committee to implement it at the cost detailed in Appendix 1 of the report. This is an implementation decision for a project that will affect Dalhagens sports facility.

The Property Committee approved the renovation of Kämpinge school's gymnasium building. The Moderates reserved their position, demanding that costs for using the gymnasium as a construction site for the main school building's renovation be itemized and not charged to sports activities. The Liberals also issued a special statement on the importance of coordinating with the Sports Department to ensure year-round training opportunities for cricket clubs, including through the provision of safety nets for cricket balls.

The Real Estate Committee decided to withdraw the matter concerning urgent measures for pump pits and drainage pipes in Hötorgsgaraget, Beridarebanan 10. This means the planned actions were neither processed nor decided upon at the meeting.

The Real Estate Committee decided to approve the general direction for a new swimming and sports facility in Västertorp, at the Isprinsessan 5 property, and proposes that the City Council also approve this. The committee can now continue planning for a future implementation decision. Hansi Karppinen (L) reserved himself against the decision, arguing that the project has an excessively drawn-out timeline and that dialogue about replacement premises is necessary.

The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's statement responding to a letter about security-enhancing measures in the city's properties. The Moderates reserved themselves against the decision, arguing that the department should provide a more detailed account of insecure environments and planned actions, as they found the approved response too general and lacking sufficient guidance for follow-up on security work in Stockholm's properties.

The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's statement in response to a letter concerning climate adaptation of the city's properties. The Moderates reserved against the decision, advocating for the committee to request a detailed, risk-classified action plan for properties threatened by cloudbursts and floods, including a review of the need for backflow valves.

The Real Estate Committee decided to approve and submit the Real Estate Administration's referral response regarding the program for events in the City of Stockholm. Hansi Karppinen (L) reserved against the decision, proposing a re-remittal due to the program's lack of sufficient anchoring within the event industry. Lovisa Hedin (KD) also submitted an opinion, partially approving the proposal but criticizing shortcomings in the overall event policy, including financing, safety, and permit processes.

On April 21, 2026, the Real Estate Committee decided to reject the Real Estate Department's proposal, meaning a full-size football pitch in Bellevue Park will not be investigated due to the park's location within the National City Park, its cultural heritage values, and technical difficulties. Hansi Karppinen (L) dissented, proposing that the motion be approved and a broader investigation of alternative sites in the local area, including Haga BP, be conducted to address the need for sports facilities for children and youth in Vasastan and Norrmalm.

The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's proposed response to the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030" referral.

The Property Committee approved the Property Department's proposal for the 2027 budget, including a focus for 2028-2029, and forwarded it to the City Executive Board.

The Labour Market Committee has adopted a budget proposal for 2027, with a focus for 2028 and 2029, analyzing operational development and proposing strategic investments to achieve City Council goals.

The City Council reviewed the Labour Market Administration's 2025 report on Stockholm's labour market situation and development, including an analysis of the administration's and district councils' work. The Council unanimously approved the administration's proposal.
