Agenda items
The Real Estate Committee reviewed a referral response regarding the program for urban farming, which is part of a City Council directive. The committee approved and submitted the Real Estate Administration's proposed response, thereby supporting the program to promote cultivation in urban environments.
The Real Estate Committee approved and submitted the Real Estate Administration's statement in response to the revised cultural strategic program for the City of Stockholm. Lovisa Hedin (KD) submitted an alternative statement, partially approving the proposal but criticizing the majority's cultural policy for shortcomings in security, accessibility for the elderly, opportunities for children and youth, and hindering local cultural life.
The Real Estate Committee decided to approve and forward the Real Estate Administration's report responding to a motion. The motion sought to revitalize the City of Stockholm's art collection by increasing its accessibility for residents. This means the committee provided its opinion on how the city's art collection can be made more available to its inhabitants.
The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's proposed maintenance strategy. However, Vice Chair Henrik Virro (M) and others issued a special statement welcoming the strategy but emphasizing its overly general nature, stating it needs to be supplemented with concrete maintenance plans per property, an accounting of maintenance backlog, and a clearer follow-up model to avoid becoming another ineffective steering document.
The Real Estate Committee approved and forwarded the office's proposed statement on the auditors' 2025 annual report to the auditors. In a separate statement, the opposition parties (Moderaterna, Liberalerna, and Kristdemokraterna) acknowledged improvements but highlighted significant deficiencies in the committee's governance and control, particularly regarding property care and maintenance, noting large deviations in investment activities and considerable costs for abortive planning, including for Eriksdalsbadet.
The Real Estate Committee reviewed the financial monthly report for May 2026, which details the committee's finances. This report was filed at the meeting on June 16, 2026, meaning the committee was informed about their current budget and financial development.
The City Council decided to lift the swimming ban at nine locations in central Stockholm, including areas like Norra Djurgården, Södra Djurgården, and Årstaviken. Swimming in approved private constructions is also now permitted, aiming to increase access to the city's waterways. However, this doesn't designate these spots as official swimming areas with controlled water quality, and the Centre Party dissented, advocating for a city-wide general swimming allowance.
The City Council decided to discontinue Maria Mustonen's (V) 45% remuneration as of August 1, 2026. This decision aligns with an agreement between the parties on how elected officials' remunerations are to be regulated and funded within each party's budget.
The City Council approved amendments to the statutes of the Elektronikcentrum Foundation. The number of board members will increase to a maximum of eight and the rules for appointing auditors will be simplified, allowing for greater flexibility. Additionally, Karin Wanngård was nominated to the board as a member for the period until the first meeting in 2028.
The City Council has approved new guidelines for processing financial assistance applications in Stockholm, replacing the previous 2017 guidelines. These new rules aim to ensure legal certainty and equitable processing, while also adapting to updated legislation and practices.
The City Council approved new guidelines for allocating places in special housing facilities under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), including social psychiatric supported housing. These guidelines aim to create a clearer and more legally secure process for all involved. The City Council also decided that the Social Welfare Committee should develop more detailed instructions on how these new rules are to be applied.
The City Council decided that the Labor Market Committee will be responsible for providing activities to individuals receiving financial assistance, should the Riksdag establish a national activity requirement. The aim is to enhance these individuals' chances of finding employment and becoming self-sufficient. This decision takes effect contingent upon the Riksdag's resolution.
The City Council adopted an action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm by 2030, aiming to provide all Stockholm residents with equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. The plan focuses on knowledge and information, welfare and service, and participation and influence. Several parties entered reservations against the decision, citing reasons such as the plan being too general and lacking clear, measurable goals.
The City Council approved the Action Plan for Children's Rights 2030, which aims to strengthen the city's efforts regarding the rights and influence of all children. The plan, extending to 2030, focuses on children's knowledge, welfare, services, participation, and influence. The Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party formally dissented from the decision.
The City Council decided to lower fees for preschools, after-school care, and irregular hours care starting July 1, 2026. This adjustment aligns with new national rules introducing an income disregard, meaning the first SEK 10,000 of income will no longer be included when calculating fees. This decision is contingent upon the government and the Swedish National Agency for Education approving the new national levels.
The City Council approved new guidelines for child safety in the city's municipal preschools, replacing the old ones. Several parties dissented, offering their own proposals regarding issues such as extended background checks and handling honor-related violence.
The Stockholm City Hall Group Board adopted several new action plans to guide how the group's subsidiaries will operate. These include plans for an age-friendly city, for national minorities and Sámi rights until 2030, for LGBTQI+ rights until 2030, and for Roma inclusion until 2030. These new plans replace older guidelines and programs.
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." This report, detailing efforts to secure the city's future water supply, will now be forwarded to the City Executive Board for their information.
The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB approved a status report from Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB regarding the "Stockholm's Future Wastewater Treatment" project. This report, detailing the progress on improving the city's sewage system, was forwarded to the City Executive Board for their information, indicating the project is continuing as planned.
