The first year's rent for this home was 1.9 million SEK. This will provide more group homes for Bromma residents needing LSS support.

The City Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee approved a consultation notification for a revised policy decision concerning the redevelopment of Stigbergsparken. This project, which involves the Sofia subway station being built within the park as part of the subway expansion to Nacka and Söderort, has raised concerns from Jonas Nilsson (M) and Governing Mayor Avci (L) regarding significant cost increases and potential risks to the subway expansion's timeline, which could further drive up investment expenses, despite the positive ambition to create new green spaces and play areas.

The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved a consultation notification regarding a preliminary decision to technically upgrade Hägerstensåsen Community Centre, estimated to cost between 50 and 300 million SEK. The matter was not referred back despite a reservation from Jonas Nilsson (M) and City Commissioner Avci (L) who wanted a more thorough investigation into rental consequences, alternative leasing models, and cost distribution.

The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved a consultation notification ahead of a strategic decision. The matter concerned a land allocation for housing on the property Västberga 1:1 in Liseberg, which will be developed by Klövern Julklappen AB as part of "Project Julklappen Södra."

The Municipal Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved a consultation report regarding the strategic decision for the "Önskehemsplan" project in Högdalen center. This means the consultation phase is complete, and the committee has reviewed the information in preparation for the upcoming strategic decision on urban development in the area.

The City Executive Board reviewed a request for a legality review of the City Council's decision for Stockholm City Hall AB to purchase negative emissions from Stockholm Exergi AB's BECCS plant. The Board decided to submit a statement to the Administrative Court in Stockholm, as proposed by the City Management Office. Gabriel Kroon (SD) dissented and proposed an alternative.

The City Council will review the 2025 audit reports for seven independent foundations and institutions, including SHIS Bostäder and the Strindberg Museum, with the City Executive Board proposing that their boards be granted discharge from liability for the previous year's management. However, the Liberals (L) are reserving their position and propose that, in addition to approving the motion, the City Management Office be tasked with investigating significant write-downs (losses) of over 18 million SEK in certain investments by the Stockholm Maritime Hotel Foundation, such as a student housing project in Bredäng. L also wants the City Management Office to work towards establishing a placement policy with better risk diversification for the foundation.

The City Executive Board responded to a referral from Ellevio AB regarding new cable connections between Värtan Station and Ropsten. The city submitted its statement in response to the consultation on Ellevio's planned infrastructure project.

The City Executive Board issued a statement on the Audit Office's 2025 annual report for the City of Stockholm and the City Executive Board. The majority supported the report, which described the city's economy as largely satisfactory. Councilwoman Gulan Avci (Liberalerna) dissented, arguing the report presented a less positive view of the city than the majority suggested, particularly regarding school results, disparities in safety, and housing construction.

The Election Committee decided to appoint 470 polling station officers to work with advance voting. The Head of the Office was also tasked with appointing more officers or revoking assignments if needed. These officers have been trained for their role and will ensure that the voting process adheres to the Election Act.

The City Executive Board of Stockholm has responded to a referral from the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise regarding proposed new legislative changes following the EU's revised wastewater directive. While largely welcoming proposals for stricter treatment requirements, including quaternary treatment for micropollutants and extended producer responsibility, Stockholm points out the need for clearer definitions, a tight implementation timeline for quaternary treatment, and an impact assessment for municipal supervisory authorities.

The Moderates have raised concerns about the new "property-proximate collection" (FNI) law in Stockholm's dense urban environment, arguing it will be administratively difficult and costly. They demand the city utilize legal exceptions, find flexible solutions, and engage in dialogue with the state. The City Executive Office and rapporteur Åsa Lindhagen (MP) respond that relevant agencies are already adapting collection to Stockholm's conditions, and will continue using existing recycling stations where FNI is not feasible, despite losing producer compensation.

Moderaterna's Andréa Hedin proposed a motion for the City of Stockholm to develop a strategy for AI use in primary and secondary schools, including a training plan for staff. While the City Executive Office and Education Committee acknowledge both opportunities and challenges, they point to ongoing work with guidelines, professional development, and approved AI tools. The City Council recommends responding to the motion by referring to this existing work, meaning a new, separate AI strategy will not be developed.

The City Council is proposed to adopt a detailed plan for Beckholmen on Djurgården. This plan aims to protect the island's cultural values by preserving existing historically significant buildings while also allowing new construction to support the development of shipyard operations, which is crucial for Stockholm's maritime activities and its role in national defense.

The City Council will consider a revised decision for Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's project in Central Bromma, Riksby. The project, which aims to enable the development of housing and commercial areas, now encompasses 16 blocks instead of 24 and has been adjusted to reduce the need for stormwater diversion. The new investment cost is estimated at SEK 636 million and will facilitate the development of approximately 1,450 homes and 1,500-2,000 workplaces.

The City Council will consider a revised implementation decision for the Herbariet project in Liljeholmen, which includes a new primary school, three sports halls, a local street, and a public square. Project costs have significantly increased from SEK 49 million to SEK 71.1 million due to phasing, contaminated land, and general construction cost increases. The City Executive Board proposes that the Exploitation Committee be authorized to proceed with the project at the new, higher budget.

Jan Jönsson (L) inquired about Stockholm's cooperation with other capitals to protect democratic principles, prompted by Budapest's mayor being indicted for encouraging Pride parade participation. The City Executive Office responded that Stockholm is an active member of international organizations and networks promoting democratic freedoms and rights, and has already expressed support for the mayor's work during a meeting. The City Executive Board is proposed to close the matter by referring to this memo.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Rasmus Jonlund (L) proposed that Stockholm join the Pact of Free Cities network to strengthen its role in promoting freedom, humanism, and global solidarity. However, Governing Mayor Karin Wanngård (S) suggested declining the motion, citing the city's existing involvement in approximately 100 international organizations and networks as sufficient for advocating for these values.
