The Labor Market Committee approved its first tertial report for 2026, indicating progress in getting more Stockholm residents into work and studies, with increased enrollment at Jobbtorg Stockholm and improved adult education results. The committee also requested budget adjustments totaling 196.4 million SEK for increased state grants for refugee reception and the National Agency for Education, and decided to change a target value for labor law conditions in procurements. Members from the Center Party, Moderates, and Liberals acknowledged the administration but highlighted persistent high unemployment, the need for more focus on theoretical subjects in adult education, and a deeper analysis of the increase in in-house adult education.

The Labor Market Committee reviewed the City Auditors' Annual Report for 2025 and concluded that the committee's operations have largely been conducted in an appropriate and economically satisfactory manner. However, the auditors noted some areas for development, particularly regarding contract follow-up, systematic work environment efforts, and payroll management. The committee decided to refer to the administration's statement as its opinion and agreed to take action according to the auditors' recommendations.

The Labor Market Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize to FoC Farsta Football Club. The prize, established in 1998, recognizes the best contribution to integration in Stockholm, aiming to highlight good initiatives that foster connections between new and established Stockholm residents.

Mikael Peterson (C), Hanna Wistrand (L), and Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M) have inquired about the city's plans to ensure access to football pitches in Norra innerstaden once the temporary Haga BP is no longer available. The Sports Department is actively seeking new sports areas, including investigating artificial turf at Gärdet sports field to increase booking hours and exploring a temporary artificial turf pitch in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, while also engaging in dialogue with affected clubs.

The Sports Committee will review a proposal to approve a service statement responding to a letter from Moderate, Centre, and Liberal politicians. The politicians requested a full account of how swimming times are allocated between municipal swimming schools and swimming clubs in all of Stockholm's swimming pools. The Sports Administration has produced statistics showing that time for clubs in instruction pools increased by 44% between 2020 and 2025, while the city's swimming school increased by 6%; for exercise pools, club time increased by 5.4% and the city's swimming school by 2% during the same period.

The City Council is set to review a proposal concerning the renovation and adaptation of Sandsborgsbadet in Dalen 20. Detailed documents outlining the investigation decision are expected to be circulated later, with this matter being proposed by the Sports Department.

The Sports Committee is proposed to grant Mossen Hockey AB 572,000 SEK for 2026. This support will compensate Mossen Hockey AB for lost revenue during the off-season, stemming from the City Council's decision to implement a year-round zero-fee policy for children's and youth activities in municipal sports facilities. This ensures that children and young people in IK Göta Bromma can continue to train at no cost in the HCL Hall, mirroring other ice rinks in Stockholm.

The Sports Committee is to approve its first quarterly report for 2026, including an annual forecast, before submitting it to the City Executive Board. The report indicates that the committee expects to meet the City of Stockholm's strategic goals for 2026, partly through efforts to increase physical activity among children and young people, promote swimming proficiency, and improve accessibility to sports facilities for people with disabilities. It also highlights the underrepresentation of girls and women in sports and exercise, particularly among teenagers, and emphasizes the need for more targeted initiatives in socioeconomically vulnerable areas like Skärholmen, Järva, and Hässelby-Vällingby.

The Sports Committee is to address a letter from Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M), Mikael Peterson (C), and Hanna Wistrand (L) regarding the Swedish Sports Confederation's facility support, which claims Stockholm's sports clubs risk losing SEK 22 million due to bureaucratic processes. The Sports Administration, however, states the primary obstacle is clubs' difficulty meeting the Confederation's ownership or long-term usage requirements, as city facilities are often booked short-term. The Administration is working to support clubs and has developed a contract template to facilitate applications.

The Sports Committee will be informed of decisions made by delegation regarding ice rink opening and closing times for 2026, temporary appointments during the department head's vacation, and special economic initiatives during the first four months of 2026. These initiatives include support for associations such as Fryshuset Basket, RFSL Stockholm, and several riding clubs for child and youth activities, recreation leaders, and various programs.

The Real Estate Department and the Sports Administration have submitted a consultation statement regarding a new detailed plan for Högdalstopparna. While they are positive about the area being designated for outdoor recreation and allotments, they request larger areas for sports to develop the popular BMX activities. The departments believe the current proposal limits the facility's function and future development, especially given its status as a national resource.

The City Council is poised to approve plans to convert Building C at Fruängsgården 1 in Fruängen into a larger care home with 97 apartments, replacing the existing 41-unit service house which will be phased out due to decreased demand. This renovation, expected to run from 2030 to 2031, aims to address the city's growing need for care facilities, with current residents being relocated during construction.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the renovation and conversion of Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, currently Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, into a nursing and care home with 92 apartments. This will take place between 2027 and 2030, as the service house is being phased out due to extensive renovation needs and an increased demand for nursing and care places. Current residents will be offered priority for other housing options.

The City Executive Board is set to review a proposal from Micasa Fastigheter and the Skarpnäck District Council to construct a new care home in Bergholmsbacken, Bagarmossen. This extensive project, with an estimated investment exceeding 300 million SEK, will feature 80 apartments for the elderly, along with facilities for day activities and a senior meeting point, and will also require approval from the City Council.

The City Council is set to consider approving Familjebostäder AB's renovation of 178 homes and twelve commercial premises in the Draget 1 property on Södermalm. This 434-million-kronor project is necessary as the building's plumbing, electricity, and elevators, dating back to 1924, have reached the end of their technical lifespan. Existing tenants will be temporarily relocated during construction and will then have the option to choose from three different kitchen renovation levels, with some components potentially being reused.

The City Council is set to decide on the direction for the New Husbybadet project. The current Husbybadet will be demolished due to construction defects and replaced with a new, modern facility on the Bislet 1 property, next to the existing bath. The new complex, featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure bath, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2031, with the existing bath remaining operational for most of the construction period.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council authorizes the Traffic Committee to undertake a major renovation of the western Liljeholmsbron, the older of the Liljeholm bridges. This project aims to extend the bridge's lifespan by 60 years and increase its load-bearing capacity from BK2 to BK4. Following renovation, scheduled from 2029 to 2032, the bridge will feature two southbound lanes, a two-way cycle path, and a two-way pedestrian path, all designed to accommodate heavy traffic flows and buses, though construction will cause traffic diversions and longer travel times.

The City Council is set to decide on renovating and adapting the former Kämpingeskolan in Tensta into a new administrative office for the Järva city district administration, aiming to consolidate approximately 640 employees by late 2028. However, critics from the Moderates and Liberals argue this is an expensive and ill-conceived plan that risks displacing resources, proposing instead to sell the property or utilize existing premises.

The City Council will consider Stockholm's child health program, intended to reduce inequalities in children's living conditions and promote the physical, mental, and social well-being of 1-6 year olds. The matter was previously referred back on April 13, 2026, with criticism that it overemphasized preschools and needed to clarify expectations for other administrations, include scientific research, and address environmental aspects. The City Executive Board now proposes approval of the program as is, deeming it sufficiently meets the purpose of providing a comprehensive direction for the health of the youngest children.

The board of Stockholm City Hall AB has decided to propose that the Municipal Council lift the swimming ban at nine locations in central Stockholm and in approved swimming structures. This means it will be permitted to swim at places like Norra and Södra Djurgården (except Ålkistan), parts of Årstaviken, Marievikskajen, northern Reimersholme, southern Lilla Essingen and Luxviken, Gröndal, and southern Skeppsholmen. The decision aims to make more places accessible for swimming for Stockholmers, although the Centre Party, through Jonas Naddebo, issued a reservation and proposed a general swimming permit with exceptions instead of gradually abolishing the ban at specific locations.
