The City Council will consider a proposal from the Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council to close a dog exercise area in Trekanten. This is because the area is to be converted into a biotope protection area to safeguard biodiversity and high natural values, particularly for bats and other red-listed species. The proposal means that dogs will no longer be allowed to run free in the area and must be kept on a leash.

The City Council will decide on a revised plan to redevelop Vårbergsvägen in Skärholmen into an urban street with nearly 1,500 homes, schools, preschools, and commercial spaces. Due to low developer interest and the city's finances, the project is proposed to be split into two phases, with the second phase paused until market conditions improve. The Real Estate and Urban Development Committee suggests the City Council approve proceeding with Phase 1 at a cost of approximately 123.7 million SEK.

The Municipal Council is to consider a revised plan for the development of Blackeberg Square, aiming to create over 120 new homes, a health center, and commercial spaces by relocating Vinjegatan. The project's cost has increased from SEK 42.6 million to approximately SEK 79 million, with a four-year delay in the timeline. If 30 of the new homes become rental apartments instead of condominiums, they will be allocated as senior housing for those over 55, while larger rental units will be prioritized for families with children through Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB.

Trafikverket proposes adjusting Stockholm's municipal road maintenance area, transferring responsibility for parts of Uppsalavägen (E4.26) to the City due to the updated municipal boundary with Solna in Hagastaden. This aims to streamline road management with the new urban development, while major state roads like Norra Länken remain state-managed. Stockholm City supports the proposal, pending the new boundary's legal enforcement.

The City Council is set to decide on a letter of intent between theploitation Committee and Stockholm Harbour Ltd. regarding the development of southern Norra Djurgårdsstaden. The agreement outlines how port operations and residential construction will coexist on Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren. It proposes transferring land on Frihamnspiren to Stockholm Harbour Ltd. for the development of port activities, including enhanced electrification for ships, while simultaneously allowing for new housing in the area.

The City Council is to consider a proposal to transfer the property Magasin 5 in Frihamnen from Stockholms Hamn AB to S:t Erik Markutveckling AB. This will be done by S:t Erik Markutveckling purchasing shares in a newly formed subsidiary of Stockholms Hamn that will own Magasin 5. The transfer, with a preliminary market value of approximately 400 million SEK, aims to streamline the port's operations and prepare for future urban development in Frihamnen.

The City of Stockholm will respond to the government's proposal for a "tax brake" and "tax cut premium," which aims to incentivize municipalities to lower municipal taxes or prevent increases. The City Executive Office advises against the proposal, arguing it infringes on municipal self-governance and the right to set tax rates, and that the long-term funding of welfare has not been sufficiently investigated.

The City Council is proposed to decide that Stockholm's city committees should transition to digital personnel records and replace current paper documents with scanned versions. This aims to streamline personnel document management, enhance information security, and reduce administration for managers and HR staff, with a projected cost of 70 million SEK from 2026-2031.

The Cemeteries Board presented its first quarterly report for 2026, indicating an expectation to achieve all three of the City Council's overarching goals, as well as its own operational goals for the year. This report specifically detailed how deviations are managed and the actions being taken to ensure goal attainment.

The Cemeteries Committee decided to build a new chimney at the New Crematorium in Skogskyrkogården, aiming to improve operations, reduce energy consumption, and prevent corrosion. This decision means the Cemeteries Administration will now develop detailed project documentation, with an estimated cost of three million SEK.

The Cemeteries Administration presented the results of its 2026 employee survey, showing that the well-being index (AMI index) dropped from 82% last year to 79% this year. Employee participation in the survey also saw a slight decrease, from 90% to 89%.

The Cemeteries Committee received an opinion on the City Auditors' 2025 annual report, which found the committee's financial and operational results satisfactory, meeting goals and budget. However, the internal governance and control were deemed only partly sufficient, with improvements needed in investments, procurement, and contract management.

The Cemeteries Committee was informed about the status of the Skogskrematoriet restoration, which is proceeding on schedule. The committee received an update on the current situation, budget, and identified risks.

Hans Strandberg (Social Democrats) questioned how the administration manages irrigation in city cemeteries given climate change, and if there's a water usage plan. Henrik Baudou Fjelkman from the administration responded that they are restrictive with water, irrigating only new plantings as needed, and can limit or cease irrigation entirely during water shortages.

The City Council is set to discuss new fees for preschool, after-school care, and out-of-hours childcare. This could mean changes to how much parents need to pay for these services starting in 2026.

The Traffic Committee and Stockholm Hamn AB propose lifting the bathing ban at nine locations in central Stockholm. This would allow swimming in more inner-city areas, including in structures approved by the city.

The City Executive Board will review its first trimester report for 2026, which projects a net surplus of 40 million SEK and is expected to contribute to the City Council's goals. However, the Liberals filed a reservation, criticizing the report for failing to highlight critical areas such as vulnerable children, hate crimes against minorities, shortcomings in food preparedness, and challenges for businesses in the city.

The Moderate, Liberal, Christian Democrat, and Centre Parties submitted a letter requesting Familjebostäder to align its procurements with the government's new national procurement strategy. The parties seek information on how the company can enable greater participation from small and medium-sized enterprises in procurements, including associated risks and their management.

The Board of AB Familjebostäder approved a report on submitted consultation responses, including views on Boverket's proposals for new energy classes for buildings, solar energy requirements, and charging infrastructure regulations where they advocate shared solutions. They also highlighted the lack of financial impact assessments in the functional program for preschool premises, which could lead to project delays or cancellations.

CEO Chris informed the Municipal Council that the company had held a joint conference with the large negotiating delegation of the Tenants' Association. Additionally, the CEO presented information regarding the company's fire protection efforts.
