The Bromma District Council has updated its internal delegation rules to align with a new management structure in elderly care, allowing lower-level managers and officers to make certain decisions. This means that assistant unit managers or officers can now decide on matters such as rent payment deferrals for users, and interventions like housing support and nursing home placements.

The Bromma District Council is set to approve its activity report and financial statement for 2025, detailing the district's work towards Stockholm's goals in welfare, preschools, elderly care, environment, and safety. The council is also requesting reallocations totaling 1 million SEK for post-power line collapse measures, park improvements near a preschool, and upgrades to the pedestrian bridge and promenade in Johannesfred.

The Stockholm Election Committee plans to offer early voting at 45 locations for the 2026 election, primarily at elderly care homes, detention centers, and other institutions. This initiative aims to assist individuals who have difficulty reaching standard polling stations. The administration has contacted all relevant facilities to confirm a minimum of 10-15 eligible voters at each site. Voting hours will be published on val.se.

Stockholm is planning to have 54 early voting locations for the 2026 election, one more than for the 2024 EU election. While many of these will be libraries, temporary barracks will also be set up in popular squares like Odenplan and Liljeholmstorget, building on their success from the previous election. The goal is to make voting more accessible for Stockholm residents through good geographical distribution and extended opening hours from August 26 to September 13, 2026.

The Stockholm Election Board has presented its operational report for 2025. The main focus was preparing for the 2026 election, including decisions on electoral districts and polling districts, ballot handling, and staff recruitment. The board reported a small deficit of 0.1 million SEK for the year and also implemented measures to improve accessibility, environmental responsibility, and data protection related to the election.

Stockholm's Cemetery Administration reports that the environmental remediation of hazardous substances at the Woodland Crematorium in the Woodland Cemetery is almost complete, with construction ongoing both indoors and outdoors despite the snow. It was discovered that the facade stone on the Monument Hall's pillars needs replacing, which will impact the timeline for that specific part of the project. The total project budget remains at 292 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm has developed an action plan for 2030 to strengthen children's rights and influence, aiming to counteract discrimination and promote equal living conditions for all children. The plan focuses on increasing knowledge of children's rights among city employees, improving welfare and services for vulnerable children, and ensuring children's participation in issues affecting them. The Cemeteries Department has issued a positive statement, supporting the action plan.

The Cemeteries Committee has been tasked with commenting on the City of Stockholm's action plan for an age-friendly city. The plan aims to ensure older people have the same human rights as others and that the city becomes more inclusive, accessible, and safe for them. The Cemeteries Administration supports the plan, which covers areas such as participation, social inclusion, housing and urban environment, and communication.

The City Audit has reviewed how the Cemeteries Committee and other municipal companies and committees manage property maintenance. The audit found that the Cemeteries Committee lacks a clear plan and consolidated information for prioritizing and carrying out maintenance work, which risks important decisions being made on insufficient grounds. The Cemeteries Administration agrees with the criticism and has begun implementing a new IT system, Planima, to better plan and document property maintenance and ensure the properties' function is maintained.

The Cemeteries Committee will revise its delegation of authority, an internal guide outlining who can make decisions within the administration. These changes adapt the order to a new organizational structure taking effect in 2025 and 2026, updating the types of decisions officials can make, particularly concerning burial rights and monuments, and making linguistic adjustments for readability.

The City of Stockholm is revising its cemetery regulations, clarifying the distinction between full, limited, and no burial rights. Key changes include the elimination of "pre-purchasing" grave sites and restricting burial in Sandsborg Cemetery's ash grove to Stockholm residents only (with an exception for spouses). These rules will be reviewed annually to ensure they remain current.

The Cemeteries Committee presented its 2025 activity report, showing they largely met their goals, including creating youth employment and reducing their climate impact by using more electric vehicles. They also decided against constructing a new ceremony hall at Strandkyrkogården due to a decrease in funeral services.

The Cemeteries Committee has received a list of decisions made by the administration since the last meeting. These decisions, which are purchases over 100,000 SEK, must be reported to the committee according to the delegation order. The list includes purchases from suppliers such as Restaurang Josefina, Fonus, Ignis Begravningsbyråer, the Culture Committee, and Maskinparken Sverige AB.

This is an administrative item where the Cemeteries Committee notes various received decisions, judgments, and letters since the last meeting. These include disputes concerning burial, a decision to move a grave, permission to fell trees in Brännkyrka cemetery, and a decision on an hourly fee for supervision at Järva burial ground.

The Disability Council reviewed and approved Stockholm’s Cemetery Board's 2026 operational plan, which aims to make cemeteries safe, well-maintained, and accessible, including improving accessibility and biodiversity. The Council also highlighted the need for crutch holders at service points and clearer signage for individuals with invisible disabilities. Additionally, meeting times for 2026 and the action list, which includes completed or ongoing accessibility measures like nearly finished bus stop adaptations, were approved.

This is a meeting protocol from the Cemetery Administration's management group meeting on February 9, 2026. The meeting primarily focused on establishing the agenda and adjusting the minutes from the previous meeting. The group also received updates on ongoing training for safety inspections and a revision to the administrative local agreement on the work environment.

The City Executive Board has approved 77.1 million SEK for safety-enhancing measures in Stockholm in 2026.

Special priority has been given to areas identified by the police as vulnerable or having open drug scenes.

The City Executive Board has approved Bromma District Council's application to lease premises at Bergslagsvägen 49 for in-house park maintenance. This entails demolishing the current office building and replacing it with a new pavilion for offices, vehicles, and equipment. The annual rent for the land and pavilion will be approximately SEK 646,000 the first year, for a ten-year lease, plus one-off establishment and adaptation costs of about SEK 3.9 million.
