All agenda items

The Culture Administration proposes that the Culture Committee commission them to procure a new framework agreement for the transport of art and museum objects, as the current agreement expires on December 31, 2026. This agreement is crucial for Liljevalchs and the Museums and Art departments, enabling them to transport items within Stockholm, Sweden, and abroad for exhibitions, loans, and managing the city's collections. The procurement will include sustainability requirements, and the estimated value of the framework agreement is approximately 7.2 million SEK over a maximum contract period.

The Culture Committee is set to review an application for 2 million SEK in support for concert promoter Selam to establish two new music venues in Marievik, Liljeholmen. These venues, slated to open in March 2027, will host a diverse program of global music including concerts, clubs, festivals, literary evenings, art exhibitions, and stand-up, targeting a broad urban audience. The Culture Administration recommends approving the funding, deeming that the establishment will enrich Stockholm's cultural offerings and strengthen the city as a cultural destination.

The Culture Administration proposes that the Culture Committee grant an additional SEK 656,000 to Mittiprickteatern economic association and Teatergruppen Pero economic association. These funds are for cultural programs in preschools and schools during 2026, as part of the Kulanpremien initiative, and are crucial due to high demand. The total amount exceeds what the administration can approve independently.

The Municipal Executive Board's Senior Citizens' Council noted incoming documents, including minutes from previous meetings, and discussed an action plan for an age-friendly city focusing on participation, collaboration, and accessibility for Stockholm's elderly. The Council was also informed about an invitation from Region Stockholm to participate in a survey on digital prescription renewal, aimed at improving residents' digital interaction with healthcare.

At the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council meeting on April 23, 2026, new alternate members were appointed to the city district administration's pensioner council. Wivian Lindberg was appointed as an alternate for the National Organization of Pensioners (PRO) and Barbro Erlandsson as an alternate for the Swedish Pensioners' Association (SPF).

Divisional Manager Marie Lissäng reported no new complaints since the last Pensioners' Council, though the Security Service reported six incidents concerning key issues and personal alarms. The ordering unit for elderly care is now also available at Vällingby Health Centre, and upcoming events like the district competition and politician interrogations were announced, where citizens can ask questions about home care, nursing homes, and other elderly care matters.

The council addressed the potential abolition of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV) but noted the matter had not yet reached the district. The district also reported that summer staffing plans look good, and they now have fewer intermittent employees than the city's benchmark.

The City Planning Administration proposes a new detailed plan for Skarpnäck sports field in the Skarpnäcks Gård district. This proposal includes building a new combined sports facility with a sports hall, ice rink, and swimming pool, while the existing Skarpnäckshallen will be demolished and one artificial turf field removed. The plan also features new outdoor areas, service buildings, improved pedestrian and bicycle paths for enhanced safety, and the preservation of protected oak trees.

The City of Stockholm is to respond to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency's (MCF) proposed regulations on planning for evacuation and accommodation during heightened alert. The City believes the responsibilities placed on municipalities are too extensive without sufficient resources, calling for state funding and civil conscription to staff evacuation efforts. Stockholm also wants the option for partial evacuation in areas lacking bomb shelters.

The City of Stockholm will comment on the Swedish Competition Authority's report "New Gatekeeper Functions in LOV," which proposes measures to combat criminal and disreputable suppliers in freedom of choice systems, such as health and social care. The city generally supports the proposals, which aim to simplify municipalities' ability to vet providers both upon application and throughout the contract period, though the Social Services Department is concerned about increased administration and the City Executive Office requests extending post-contract control from three to at least five years.

The City of Stockholm is to comment on an interim report proposing the removal of the County Administrative Board as an appeal body for municipal decisions under the Environmental Code and the Planning and Building Act. While generally positive about shortening processing times, the City, along with several authorities and City Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen, expresses concern that removing the Board could lead to a loss of expertise, particularly regarding water protection, and that proposed fees for certain appeals could undermine legal certainty.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm conduct a "crime proofing" analysis of its grant procedures to reduce the risk of grants to civil society being exploited by criminals. The City Executive Office notes that the city already actively works to combat welfare crime and that crime proofing is one of several methods that can be used. The city has also introduced a specialized team, training, and a tip function to strengthen its efforts against crime.

The municipality proposes digitizing maps showing where local public order regulations apply, making them clearer and more accessible. Additionally, an amendment to the dog waste regulation is proposed, requiring dog owners to pick up after their dogs throughout the entire city, not just the inner city. The ban on using nitrous oxide in public places is also proposed to be visualized via a digital map.

This report covers new matters received between April 16th and 22nd, 2026, including an update on Stockholm Vatten och Avfall's major projects, a proposal from the National Agency for Education regarding national tests in adult education, and a consultation invitation for a power line between Hagby and Järva. Other items for consideration include temporary serving hours during the 2026 World Cup, a new administrative office for Järva city district, new swimming and sports facilities in Västertorp and a renovation of Kampementsbadet, a temporary sports hall at Dalhagens BP, a revised cultural strategy program, and guidance for the city's particularly valuable buildings and areas.

The Traffic Committee proposes revising Stockholm's market trading rules to enhance the vitality and safety of public squares. The proposals aim to increase flexibility for square usage, including events, and introduce background checks for traders to combat crime. Additionally, eight currently vacant market squares will be removed to allow for other activities, while seven new temporary market locations will be established.

The City Council will consider an implementation decision regarding major measures on the western Liljeholmen Bridge. Further details will be made public after the matter has been processed by the Executive Office on May 13, 2026.

Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (both L) proposed a motion for the city to develop a digital map function to help businesses and transporters with real-time information on loading zones, roadworks, and closures, aiming to streamline deliveries and strengthen Stockholm as a trade city. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that the city is already working on similar issues, but Jan Jönsson (L) dissents, arguing the motion should be approved because current information is scattered and not user-friendly enough.

Sara Svanström (L) proposed a motion for the City of Stockholm to map dangerous pedestrian crossings and prioritize measures to make them safer, especially for people with disabilities, through better lighting, clearer markings, audible signals, and raised crossings. The City Executive Board recommended dismissing the motion, citing ongoing traffic safety work for vulnerable road users, but the Liberals lodged a reservation, arguing the work needs to be intensified and more clearly prioritized.

The City Council is expected to decide that the Real Estate Committee may carry out an extensive renovation of the former Kämpingeskolan in Tensta, to create a new administrative office for the Järva city district administration. This office will consolidate approximately 640 employees, with the project slated for completion by the end of 2028. The proposal is anticipated to reduce the city district committee's rental costs compared to their current divided premises, and the refurbishment of an existing property is considered both ecologically and economically sustainable.

The City of Stockholm is set to address a new child health program. Details regarding the program will be made public after the City Executive Board has processed the matter on May 13, 2026.
