All agenda items

Moderates Andréa Hedin and Per Rosencrantz proposed that the the City of Stockholm regularly map honor-related violence and oppression, at least once per term, to monitor developments and improve the city's efforts. However, several committees, including the City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Education Committee, rejected the proposal, stating that current knowledge is sufficient and that such mappings are resource-intensive. They argued that the city's efforts should instead focus on strengthening ongoing preventative work and collaboration with other actors.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm Globe Arena Properties AB install new security solutions, in collaboration with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, to prevent disturbances and interrupted matches for the 2025 football season, following several incidents in 2024. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that work for safer football is ongoing and sustainable changes require a cultural shift, not just technical solutions. However, the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party filed reservations, wanting the motion approved for the city to do more to counter disturbances and preserve a vibrant fan culture.

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that the City of Stockholm sell non-strategic land it owns outside the municipal boundaries, as the city has owned over 2,000 hectares in neighboring municipalities since the early 20th century. The City Executive Board suggests that this motion be answered by stating that such work is already underway and no further action is required.

The Liberals propose a pilot project for installing solar panels on the facades of municipal buildings and an inquiry to enable more such installations in the future, aiming to boost renewable energy and meet climate goals. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing previous projects that show facade-mounted solar panels are less effective and profitable than roof-mounted ones, and that the city already prioritizes rooftop solar where suitable.

Liberal Party members propose Stockholm establish an environmental controller for the Bromma Project urban development, to minimize climate and environmental impact, ensure safe decontamination, and preserve biodiversity. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion for now, citing existing relevant functions and the possibility of an environmental controller later, but not at present.

The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm establish a contract controller at the Traffic Administration to review, negotiate, and follow up agreements with external parties, aiming to prevent cost overruns in large infrastructure projects, protect taxpayer money, and increase transparency. However, the Traffic Committee has already hired a contract controller and believes that current work on contract follow-up and improved risk models addresses the proposal's intent.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (Liberals) propose that Stockholm develop a strategy to increase allotments and urban farming areas, streamlining the process for establishing new lots and identifying suitable land. While several committees and administrations acknowledge the growing interest in urban farming and note that a program is already underway, the Liberals argue that progress is too slow and more innovative solutions are needed to meet the high demand.

Moderates proposed the immediate establishment of a new recycling center in western Söderort, following the closure of the Sätra facility, urging increased capacity at existing centers and an urgent replacement for the closed plant. The Executive Board and relevant City Commissioner recommend dismissing the motion, as Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is already addressing the issue: a temporary mini-recycling center will open in Skärholmen in September 2025, Vantör's capacity has increased, and work on a permanent full-scale center in western Söderort is ongoing.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed establishing a waste ombudsman in Stockholm to review the city's finances and spending over two years, aiming to streamline expenditures outside core tasks. However, the red-green majority and the City Executive Board believe existing control systems, like the City Audit and the city's governance model, are sufficient and suggest dismissing the motion by referring to these functions.

A motion by Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (both L) proposes that Stockholm actively support new, innovative housing models, like the Kymmendö model, focusing on social and economic sustainability. They also suggest investigating and removing regulatory obstacles and adapting land policy to prioritize projects that foster a more inclusive housing market. The City Executive Board proposes the motion be answered by noting that the city already undertakes similar initiatives and that current governance provides for this type of development.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that Stockholm investigate using lighter colors for asphalt and sidewalks to make the city more attractive, combat high temperatures during heatwaves, and save energy on lighting. However, several city departments, including the City Management Office and the Traffic Committee, are hesitant about colored asphalt as a general solution for the entire city, citing costs, traffic safety concerns for the visually impaired, and the belief that increased greenery is a more effective climate adaptation measure. The City Executive Board therefore proposes rejecting the motion, referring to existing climate adaptation work and the prioritization of more green spaces.

Council members Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro (both M) propose that the City Executive Board investigate and develop a city-wide Facility Management (FM) strategy to streamline building and premises administration, aiming to reduce costs, improve working environments, and enhance service quality. While the City Management Office and Property Committee acknowledge the need for efficiency, they argue that work is already underway within existing purchasing categories and fear an overly standardized strategy could reduce flexibility.

Councilors Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson (M) proposed making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by developing a plan to transform underutilized spaces like flat roofs, areas under bridges, new quays, and facades into green oases and mini-parks. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing similar work within city administrations and companies, though several committees and even the Moderates have filed reservations, wishing to approve the motion and develop a specific action plan.

Moderates Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson proposed a plan for Stockholm to build more townhouses and similar residences, citing a need for larger homes, especially for families, and greater housing diversity. However, the City Executive Board, led by Mayor Karin Wanngård, recommended rejecting the proposal, stating the city already addresses these issues within existing plans and budgets, though they agree on the need for structured efforts to enable more townhouses.

Tom Hedrup (M) has submitted a motion proposing that all high school students in Stockholm should visit a university at least once before graduation, aiming to boost interest in higher education, especially among students from families with no prior university experience. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that city high schools already collaborate with institutions like KTH and Stockholm University, including through Vetenskapens Hus, to offer visits and foster interest.

The Traffic Committee and Stockholm Hamn AB propose lifting the swimming ban at nine inner-city locations, including Norra Djurgården, Södra Djurgården, Årstaviken, Marievikskajen, Reimersholme, Lilla Essingen, Luxviken, Gröndal, and southern Skeppsholmen, providing more swimming opportunities for residents. Additionally, they aim to permit swimming in structures built by private actors, provided these are city-approved.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council decide to terminate Maria Mustonen (V)'s remuneration as an elected official from August 1, 2026. This is based on an agreement between Stockholm's political parties that regulates elected officials' remuneration, where a full remuneration for special assignments corresponds to 65 percent of a City Commissioner's salary.

The City Council will decide whether to approve changes to the statutes of the Elektronikcentrum Foundation. These changes allow the board to expand from seven to eight members, increasing flexibility, and simplify the process for appointing auditors while removing outdated organizations from the statutes. The City Council is also proposed to nominate Karin Wanngård as a board member for the foundation.

The City Executive Board proposes that Stockholm's committees introduce digital personnel files and replace existing paper documents through scanning, aiming to streamline and quality-assure the handling of employee records. This 70-million-kronor proposal, spanning 2026-2031, is largely welcomed, but committees and parties emphasize the need for precision and high security, especially given past digitalization projects and the growing threat of data theft.

The City Council will consider a proposal to amend Stockholm's general local ordinances. This change involves removing an existing dog exercise area at Nytorps gärde in Skarpnäck and establishing a new, smaller dog park on part of the site, a modification necessary for the construction of the new dog park, which has been funded by safety investment grants.
