All agenda items

The Real Estate Committee will address a letter from Hansi Karppinen (L) regarding the renovation of Eggeby stable. The letter highlights the stable's importance as a meeting place and recreational facility in Järva and inquires if the Real Estate Office can support ventilation renovations, despite it being the tenant's responsibility, to ensure the activity's continuation. The Real Estate Office responds that expanding horse activities is unsuitable due to the building and land in Igelbäcken cultural reserve not being adapted for it, and contractual responsibility for ventilation rests with the tenant, who cannot afford it.

The Real Estate Committee will review the first quarterly report for 2026. This report, presented by the Real Estate Department, will provide an update on the committee's financial results and activities during the first four months of the year. The case documents will be distributed at a later date.

The Disability Advisory Boards for the Property and Environment & Health Protection Committees reviewed meeting minutes, discussing accessibility issues in bomb shelters, particularly high thresholds posing problems for those with mobility or visual impairments. The Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) is responsible for shelter information. They also reviewed budget proposals for 2027-2029 for the Property Management Office and the Environment Department, addressing projects like renovations of Eriksdalsbadet and the City Library, and potential ground remediation at Bromma Airport if it closes.

The Real Estate Department reported on delegated decisions made by the Head of Administration, including the sale of two cooperative apartments on Svartviksslingan in Minneberg. These decisions concern transactions valued under ten million SEK and not considered to be of significant principal importance.

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 Labour Market Administration proposes that the Labour Market Committee approves an evaluation report for the "Neighborhood Sisters" pilot project. This project employed six young women aged 20–29 with migrant backgrounds in Järva and Skärholmen during 2024-2025 to strengthen other young women through outreach, increasing their opportunities for work or study. The report indicates success in boosting the sisters' confidence and language skills and reaching the target group, but highlights areas for improvement in structure and collaboration for future implementation.

The Labour Market Administration proposes approving a report on the pilot project for two-year employment contracts for "city district mothers." The evaluation shows that longer employment better enables the city district mothers' linguistic, social, and professional development, leading to greater independence and stronger labor market integration. This also contributes to increased security and continuity for residents in the local areas where they work.

The Liberals propose that the Labour Market Administration investigate current and future shortage occupations in Stockholm to improve the matching of labour to employer needs. The Labour Market Administration responds that they do not see a need for a separate investigation, as they already have access to extensive data and collaborate with relevant stakeholders. However, they believe that the work of disseminating external and labour market analyses internally between Adult Education Stockholm and JobbTorget Stockholm can be developed through more knowledge-enhancing initiatives.

The Labour Market Committee is set to address the Centre Party's letter concerning the consequences of skill expulsions for the City of Stockholm. The Centre Party seeks to understand the impact of skill expulsions on the city's own operations and businesses, and how the city can secure its competence supply. The Labour Market Administration responds that they lack sufficient data to analyze the broader consequences for the business community and Stockholm's role as a growth engine, as readily available statistics are missing.

The Liberals propose establishing a new industry council to improve collaboration between Stockholm's labor market administration, businesses, trade unions, and education providers. This council would address competence needs and labor market issues. However, the labor market administration believes existing councils, such as Kompetensarena Stockholm, already fulfill these needs and sees no reason to create another.

The Liberals propose a pilot program for civil society to offer guidance, mentorship, and internships to young people, especially those far from the labor market. The Labor Market Administration reports existing similar initiatives and collaborations with civil society, but lacks a specific mandate to investigate such a pilot program.

The Labor Market Committee is to decide whether the Guidance Unit within Adult Education Stockholm may participate in the 2026 Quality Award. The Quality Award aims to stimulate systematic quality work and highlight good examples within the city.

The Labour Market Administration proposes to rent a new premise for Jobbtorg sydväst at Bodholmsgången 7 in Skärholmen center. This move aims to provide the service with more suitable facilities and better reach its target groups: individuals receiving social assistance and women in a vulnerable position on the labor market. The new, smaller premises, approximately 400 square meters less than the current one, is expected to reduce annual rental costs by about 400,000 SEK.

The Labour Market Committee is to approve its triennial report for the first part of the year, including a full-year forecast, and forward it to the City Executive Board. The committee also proposes adjusting the budget to increase revenues from government grants by SEK 89 million for refugee reception and by SEK 107.4 million from the Swedish National Agency for Education. Furthermore, a change to the target value for procurements with labour law conditions is proposed, increasing it from the current 75 percent to 80 percent.

The Labour Market Committee is to respond to the City Audit's 2025 annual report. The report finds that the committee has generally conducted its operations in an appropriate and financially satisfactory manner, but highlights areas for improvement. These include ensuring better routines for contract follow-up, systematic work environment management with risk assessments, and internal controls for payroll processing.

The City Council will address the matter of the Nelson Mandela Prize for 2026. This is a confidential matter, and the minutes will be adjusted immediately after the decision.

Liberal councillors Jan Jönsson and André Nilsson propose that the city investigate opening up the Stockholmshusen model to more actors, including private property developers, to increase construction speed, cost-efficiency, and diversity in the housing market. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered, stating that increased competition has already been introduced through a dynamic purchasing system, which has expanded the number of qualified contractors from three to twelve.

Councillor Sara Svanström (L) proposed mapping dangerous pedestrian crossings in Stockholm, establishing a priority order, and implementing measures to ensure safe crossings, especially for pedestrians and people with disabilities. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the Traffic Committee is already addressing similar issues, a response criticized by the Liberals who argue the work needs to be more systematic and expedited.

The Liberals propose the city create a digital map function to facilitate trade in Stockholm by streamlining deliveries, providing businesses and transporters real-time overview of loading zones, roadworks, and traffic disruptions. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already addresses these issues broadly and offers similar information through existing platforms like trafiken.nu and open data.

A motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposed equipping all Stockholm schools with shower stalls, citing concerns that many students avoid showering after sports due to feeling unsafe and lacking privacy in changing rooms, impacting their well-being and participation. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that the Education Committee is already reviewing how to make showers and changing rooms safer, with shower stalls being one potential solution.
