The Board of Ports of Stockholm has decided that the current CEO, Magdalena Bosson, will leave her position on April 30, 2026. Alexandra Ribenyi Lindström has been appointed as acting CEO from May 1, 2026, until a new permanent CEO has been appointed.

This report from the Data Protection Officer (DPO) for Stockholm Ports concerns their handling of personal data under GDPR. It scrutinizes compliance, highlighting areas for improvement such as increasing staff training participation and reviewing the use of new technologies like AI. The board approves the report and will work further with the recommendations to enhance personal data management.

The Board of Stockholm Port Company Ltd. approved the follow-up of its internal control plan for 2025. This routine review, which ensures efficient, reliable, and compliant operations, found internal controls to be sufficient with no significant deficiencies or deviations, as confirmed by audits from both EY and the Audit Office.

Kapellskärs Hamn AB presented its 2025 annual report, showing a slight decrease in turnover to SEK 123 million, mainly due to fewer passengers after Tallink Silja's Baltic Princess relocated to Stockholm. Despite this, the profit after financial items improved to SEK 6 million, an increase from the previous year, primarily due to reduced interest expenses.

Micasa Fastigheter has responded to a revised action plan for an "age-friendly city" in Stockholm, aiming to ensure older people have equal rights and opportunities to participate in society. While Micasa supports the plan, they find the new version too detailed with specific assignments, which they believe could hinder flexibility for the city's administrations and companies.

Micasa Fastigheter, which manages care homes and senior housing in Stockholm, will hold its annual general meeting in 2026. The board has appointed Anette Silfver Danielsson as proxy and Catherine Mäkinen as substitute, tasked with voting on financial matters like the income statement, balance sheet, profit allocation, and discharge of liability for the board, all in accordance with the board's directives.

This annual report from the auditors reviews Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB's operations during 2025. The report concludes that the company has largely conducted its operations efficiently and in an economically satisfactory manner, and that internal controls are sufficient. However, the report notes that the company is not meeting all targets for new housing production, may struggle to ensure cool indoor climates during heatwaves, and needs to review its routines for managing inventory.

Micasa Fastigheter, owner and manager of Stockholm city's care and senior housing, has approved its 2025 annual report, which includes a sustainability report. The report highlights efforts in environmental, economic, and social sustainability, such as reducing energy consumption, installing solar panels on properties like Edö 1, Dalen 20, and Vasen 3, and promoting circular construction and material reuse in projects like Ånn 7. Micasa is also working to climate-adapt properties against heatwaves and cloudbursts, aiming to halve its climate impact by 2030 compared to 2021.

Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB, which owns and manages nursing homes, presented its financial monthly reports for December 2025 and January 2026. The reports detail the company's loans and their interest rate impact, as well as the municipal group's overall financial health. In December, Micasa's loans decreased by SEK 136 million with an interest rate of 2.72%, while in January, loans increased by SEK 101 million to SEK 5.6 billion at an interest rate of 2.65%.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB needs to update its signatory authorization for payments due to staff changes since the last plan was established. The board will now decide to approve the new plan, ensuring the company's funds are managed securely and efficiently.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB needs to expand its signatory rights. The board proposes that Infrastructure Manager Andreas Eriksson be granted the right to sign for the company.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern has submitted its annual report for 2025, revealing it was their strongest year yet with 2.5 million visitors and ticket revenues of 124.8 million SEK. The institution contributes to a vibrant cultural life in Stockholm and actively works with sustainability, diversity, and accessibility throughout the city.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB's 2025 annual report, reviewed by both the city audit and authorized auditors, shows the company generally operates efficiently and financially soundly, meeting most targets. However, improvements are needed in internal control, contract management, fire risk follow-up, short-term inventory handling, and establishing a system for climate compensation for air travel.

This matter concerns the formal reporting of the previous minutes from meeting 7/2025 for Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB. This is a routine administrative item confirming the board's acknowledgement of previously made decisions and discussions.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed automating simpler permit processes, such as building permits and outdoor seating permits, to reduce long processing times for residents and businesses, citing Nacka and Huddinge as examples. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already addressing these issues through digitalization, new case management systems, and reorganizations, thus deeming the motion's purpose already fulfilled.

Liberal members proposed a new model for spreading detailed development plan fees over time to ease costs for construction companies, especially smaller ones, and stimulate building during downturns. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that the current continuous invoicing model is transparent and that significant project costs are mainly due to broader economic factors, not planning fees.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm establish Viva Lyceum healthcare and nursing, a dedicated education center combining upper secondary and adult education in healthcare, to attract more people to the sector and reduce staff shortages, partly by subsidizing driving licenses for graduates. However, the City Executive Board advises against merging the educational programs due to organizational and pedagogical challenges and a lack of evidence that it would be more effective than existing initiatives. The city has, however, already decided to offer paid driving licenses to students in healthcare programs starting in autumn 2025, which addresses that part of the proposal.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that SISAB, owner of Stockholm's school properties, should cover the costs of replacing outdated entry systems in schools, rather than the schools themselves. This aims to enhance safety and working conditions in schools, addressing the increased threat of school shootings. The majority of the City Executive Board agrees that entry system costs should be a property owner's responsibility and notes this is already being investigated as part of an ongoing review of the cooperation agreement.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm inventory and renovate all schoolyards to make them accessible to everyone, including children with disabilities, citing a report from Funktionsrätt Stockholm highlighting exclusion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing work, as the city is already enhancing accessibility in preschool and schoolyards through various programs and renovations, with a specific focus on children with disabilities.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that Stockholm should offer vocational programs at popular inner-city schools currently dominated by theoretical studies, aiming to boost their appeal and attract more students, particularly in high-demand fields like healthcare, construction, and automotive. The city responded that it is already actively strengthening vocational programs, citing a successful relocation to Bromma Gymnasium and ongoing training for study and career counselors. However, the majority expressed concerns about the cost and potential lack of student interest in placing new vocational programs in the inner city.
