The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB approved a status report from April 2026 on Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's program "Stockholm's Future Water Supply."

The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB approved a 2026 forecast showing improved financial results but also sharply increasing investment volumes and debt. The opposition (M, L, C) expressed concern over the rapidly growing debt, which leads to higher interest costs and risks lowering the city's credit rating. They argued that increased debt crowds out welfare investments and called for measures to reduce debt, such as selling assets and prioritizing investments.

The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB held a meeting on June 15, 2026, where they approved the parent company's first quarterly report for 2026. This formally accepted the company's financial report for the first third of the year.

The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB decided to establish a new financial policy for the group and approved new investment guidelines for S:t Erik Försäkrings AB.

The Group Board proposes that the City Council lift the swimming ban at nine specific locations in central Stockholm, including parts of Norra and Södra Djurgården, Årstaviken, Marievikskajen, northern Reimersholme, southern Lilla Essingen, Luxviken, Gröndal, and southern Skeppsholmen. They also suggest allowing swimming in city-approved, purpose-built structures. Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, arguing the city should instead introduce a general swimming permit rather than lifting bans piecemeal.

The City Executive Board will consider a motion by Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposing that the Sports and Real Estate Committee be tasked with expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities to increase physical activity among children and youth, citing a lack of facilities. The presenting City Commissioner, Jan Valeskog, suggests the City Council reject the motion, arguing that existing collaborations are in place and the city is already actively building new facilities and engaging with neighboring municipalities, especially for niche sports. Opposing members from the Moderate Party, Liberal Party, and Centre Party propose approving the motion and conducting an inquiry to address challenges arising from differing regulations and fees between municipalities.

A motion from Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the long-term need for and funding of leisure activities for children and young people with disabilities, arguing that their opportunities are limited and unevenly distributed. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that similar collaborations already exist through networks like "Fritid för alla" and the Association for Greater Stockholm's Culture and Leisure Managers (FSKF).

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed in a motion that Stockholm City should ensure all football pitches have toilet access, and larger facilities also have changing rooms, to promote equality and increase girls' participation in football. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work to build toilets and investigate making changing rooms available, alongside expanding cooperation with schools to utilize their facilities.

A motion suggests Stockholm City should investigate using the work tunnels in the New Östberga Tunnel as shelters or protected spaces for residents. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by stating that the national government, through the Agency for Civil Protection, is responsible for identifying shelter needs and funding. The city awaits a national process and requirements before it can inventory and potentially adapt such spaces.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities through the Sports Committee and Real Estate Committee, aiming to increase physical activity among children and youth by addressing facility shortages that limit organized sports. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing sufficient existing cooperation and stating that providing facilities for amateur sports is each municipality's own responsibility.
