All agenda items

The Municipal Council will decide on a detailed plan to extend the new yellow subway line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. This extension will include six new stations and is intended to strengthen public transport and facilitate urban development in a growing Stockholm.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a comprehensive renovation and rebuilding of the culturally significant property Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm. The building, which is green-classified, is in urgent need of upgrades to its roof, facade, electrical system, and plumbing, with the project expected to finish in the second quarter of 2028. The Culture Committee will be the primary tenant, subletting to the Södergården community association to ensure their continued operation.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a revised agreement for Upper Secondary Admissions in Stockholm County. This updated agreement, which affects upper secondary admissions for the municipalities in Greater Stockholm, Håbo, and Gnesta, clarifies responsibilities and adapts to current working methods. It also specifies that Greater Stockholm will continue to administer admissions and finances, even after the Indra system support transfers to Inera AB ownership on July 1, 2026.

The City Council is set to consider a proposal to lower and simplify fees for Kulturskolan Stockholm. This plan would reduce costs for most courses and make them subject-neutral, while also allowing more low-income households to apply for fee exemptions. The goal is to increase equality and make Kulturskolan more accessible to all children and young people in the city starting August 1, 2026.

The City of Stockholm is set to approve an action plan for Roma inclusion until 2030, aiming to counteract anti-Roma sentiment and enhance the Roma community's access to human rights such as education, employment, and healthcare. All committees and company boards are urged to promote Roma inclusion, notably by educating staff on Roma conditions, creating safe spaces, and improving opportunities for Roma participation and influence in city decisions.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for the rights and opportunities of LGBTQI+ individuals (homosexual, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people) until 2030. This plan aims to strengthen the city's efforts to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all Stockholmers, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics, with a particular focus on improving living conditions for transgender and bisexual individuals who experience higher vulnerability.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for the rights of national minorities and the Indigenous Sami people, extending until 2030. This plan aims to strengthen the city's efforts to ensure that the five national minorities (Jews, Roma, Sami, Swedish Finns, and Tornedalians) and the Indigenous Sami people have full access to their rights concerning language, culture, participation, and influence, among other things. All committees and company boards are urged to work according to the plan, which replaces the city's previous guidelines from 2018.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for an age-friendly city. This plan aims to ensure older people enjoy the same human rights as other groups, following the WHO model and focusing on five development areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication. All committees and company boards will be responsible for systematically combating ageism.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the 2025 annual reports for the Stockholm City Coordination Association (FINSAM) and Greater Stockholm Fire Department, as well as grant their respective boards discharge from liability. This means the City Council would endorse the administration of FINSAM, which coordinates financial rehabilitation efforts for Stockholmers, and the Greater Stockholm Fire Department, responsible for accident protection in eleven member municipalities, including Stockholm.

The City Council is set to decide on granting discharge from liability to the City Executive Board and all committees for the 2025 financial year. Auditors recommend approval, as operations largely meet the City Council's goals and laws, and financial statements are deemed accurate. However, they note areas for improvement, including unmet housing, climate, and environmental goals, and shortcomings in social services' processing times and contract follow-up.

The City Council will review the annual report for the City of Stockholm and its municipal group for 2025, which includes an account of goal fulfillment, financial results, and investment information. The City Executive Board proposes that the Council approve the annual report and decide on budget adjustments and equity reservations, including an additional SEK 100 million for skills development and SEK 150 million for social investments.

The City of Stockholm will respond to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's proposal on implementing a new EU directive for cleaner air into Swedish law. This directive, effective December 2024, aims to reduce air pollution and protect health and the environment, partly through stricter limit values for pollutants. The City Management Office, Environment Department, and Traffic Department reject proposals to place liability for damages and penalty payments on municipalities for inadequate action programs, arguing that the division of responsibility between municipalities and the state must be clarified and that municipalities need more tools to act effectively.

The Swedish Transport Administration proposes discontinuing maintenance of a railway switch at Värtan East rail yard, as it's unused and costs SEK 140,000 annually. This switch previously led to an industrial track in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, an area where Stockholm plans new housing and offices. The City of Stockholm supports ceasing maintenance and decommissioning the switch, as there are no plans to resume traffic on the old industrial track.

Region Stockholm proposes building the first stage of the Southern Tram Line between Flemingsberg and Skärholmen, and the City of Stockholm is invited to comment. The City Executive Board proposes that the City respond positively to the tram line, but emphasizes the importance of extending the entire route to Älvsjö in the future, adhering to the project budget, and ensuring the interchange point in Skärholmen is attractive and efficient for travelers.

The City of Stockholm will issue a statement regarding Ellevio's application for a new underground 245 kV power line between Örby and Högdalen. This new line, replacing an existing overhead one, is crucial for securing Stockholm's electricity supply and facilitates the city's plans to build 1200 new homes, offices, and preschools along Örbyleden without disrupting future construction. The County Administrative Board has already determined that the new line will not cause significant environmental impact.

The City Audit has reviewed how the Exploitation Committee and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB work to counter work-related crime in construction projects. The audit believes a stronger and more systematic approach to follow-ups and controls is needed, especially regarding labor law contract terms, and that controls should be adapted to project-specific risks. The City Executive Board will comment on the report, and the City Management Office shares the audit's assessment, proposing that all committees and company boards generally strengthen their efforts against welfare crime in contracted activities.

A motion from Andrea Hedin (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm LGBTQ+ certify home care services and collaborate with interest organizations to improve thement of LGBTQ+ individuals in elder care, citing reports of inadequate treatment and concerns among LGBTQ+ seniors. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing work, which includes training and a forthcoming action plan for the equal rights of HBTQI individuals.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the possibility of constructing floating football pitches. While creative solutions for sports facility shortages are welcomed, concerns were raised regarding placement, cost, environmental impact, and practical issues like utilities. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered, meaning no specific investigation will be launched, but the idea will be considered within existing sports facility planning.

Liberal politicians proposed an inquiry into improving and simplifying conditions for Stockholm's associations, aiming to make the city the best in Sweden for them by mapping existing obstacles. The City Executive Board recommended the motion be dismissed, stating that ongoing work, including a 2026 association policy, already addresses its intent. However, the Liberals argue a broader investigation is necessary to tackle complex issues, such as hard-to-find grant information and complicated application processes, raised by several referral bodies.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) has proposed a pilot project for a citizen budget, allowing residents to decide on the use of a portion of municipal funds, to be evaluated after two years. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that citizen budgeting is already an established working method in Stockholm, with the city continuously using it, including 17 citizen budgets implemented between 2023–2025.
