Agenda items
The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for the rights and opportunities of LGBTQI+ individuals (homosexual, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people) until 2030. This plan aims to strengthen the city's efforts to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all Stockholmers, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics, with a particular focus on improving living conditions for transgender and bisexual individuals who experience higher vulnerability.
The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for the rights of national minorities and the Indigenous Sami people, extending until 2030. This plan aims to strengthen the city's efforts to ensure that the five national minorities (Jews, Roma, Sami, Swedish Finns, and Tornedalians) and the Indigenous Sami people have full access to their rights concerning language, culture, participation, and influence, among other things. All committees and company boards are urged to work according to the plan, which replaces the city's previous guidelines from 2018.
The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approves an action plan for an age-friendly city. This plan aims to ensure older people enjoy the same human rights as other groups, following the WHO model and focusing on five development areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication. All committees and company boards will be responsible for systematically combating ageism.
The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the 2025 annual reports for the Stockholm City Coordination Association (FINSAM) and Greater Stockholm Fire Department, as well as grant their respective boards discharge from liability. This means the City Council would endorse the administration of FINSAM, which coordinates financial rehabilitation efforts for Stockholmers, and the Greater Stockholm Fire Department, responsible for accident protection in eleven member municipalities, including Stockholm.
The City Council is set to decide on granting discharge from liability to the City Executive Board and all committees for the 2025 financial year. Auditors recommend approval, as operations largely meet the City Council's goals and laws, and financial statements are deemed accurate. However, they note areas for improvement, including unmet housing, climate, and environmental goals, and shortcomings in social services' processing times and contract follow-up.
The City Council will review the annual report for the City of Stockholm and its municipal group for 2025, which includes an account of goal fulfillment, financial results, and investment information. The City Executive Board proposes that the Council approve the annual report and decide on budget adjustments and equity reservations, including an additional SEK 100 million for skills development and SEK 150 million for social investments.
The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved the Service Board's rental of a warehouse at Frihamnsgatan 56 for Stockholm's new reuse center. The rent for the first year will be 5.2 million SEK, and this decision will make it easier for residents to reuse items in the city.
The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved the Sports Committee's application to rent a clubhouse in Högdalen, located in the Putsbruket 4 property. This new facility for recreational activities will have an annual rent of SEK 1.4 million and a 20-year lease agreement. Jonas Nilsson (M) and Governing Mayor Jönsson (L) expressed concern about the tight schedule and requested a plan to ensure operations in case of delays.
The Municipal Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee approved the Stockholm City Group's financial monthly report as of March 31, 2026. However, Jonas Nilsson (M) and City Commissioner Jönsson (L) expressed concern about increased debt under the current majority, with the group's external borrowing rising by over 20 billion SEK to more than 88 billion SEK, which they believe leads to high interest costs.
The City Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee approved the financial monthly report for March 2026. The report showed a 2.7 percent increase in net costs for January-March compared to last year, while funding grew by 4.8 percent due to higher tax revenues and government grants. Investment expenditures reached SEK 918.6 million, and depreciation increased by 9.4 percent, prompting Jonas Nilsson (M) and City Commissioner Jönsson (L) to emphasize continued long-term cost control, prioritization, and efficiency.
The City Executive Board of Stockholm City issued a statement regarding the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's final report on a revised EU directive concerning air quality and cleaner air in Europe. This directive aims to reduce air pollution to improve human health and the environment. Stockholm City adopted a statement in response to the referral from the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, with the Moderates and Christian Democrats entering a reservation with a special declaration.
The City Executive Board was informed about six consultation responses submitted by the City of Stockholm. These responses concerned, among other things, the review of a road plan for E18 between Jakobsberg and Hjulsta, as well as the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's various proposals for regulations on energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and sustainable mobility in buildings, and the certification of energy experts.
The City Executive Board considered a motion from Andréa Hedin (M) regarding LGBTQ+ certification for home care services. The Board decided to address the motion by referring to a statement. The Moderates and Centre Party reserved themselves against this decision and presented their own proposal.
The Stockholm City Executive Board addressed Region Stockholm's invitation to consult on "Spårväg Syd," the tram line from Flemingsberg to Skärholmen. The Board decided to respond to the referral with the City of Stockholm's attached opinion, while the Moderate and Liberal members entered a reservation with a separate statement.
The City Executive Board reviewed an audit report on how the Exploitation Committee and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB worked to counter work-related crime in construction projects. The audit found that efforts needed strengthening, particularly regarding systematic follow-up and documentation of employment contract terms. The City Executive Board decided to approve the report's content as its statement and referred to the special statement by the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party as presented in the memo.
The City Executive Board proposed that the City Council reject a motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) to investigate floating football pitches in Stockholm's waters. While several committees and associations were positive about creative solutions for sports facility shortages, the Board found no need for a new assignment as this work already aligns with existing strategies. Jonas Naddebo (C) dissented, wishing for the motion to be approved.
The City Executive Board rejected a motion from the Liberal Party to investigate how the City of Stockholm could improve and simplify things for the city's associations. The motion, which proposed mapping problems and obstacles for associations, was dismissed because the city is already working on an association policy for 2026 and other ongoing initiatives deemed to cover the motion's purpose. City Commissioner Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, arguing that a more comprehensive and structured investigation is needed.
Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a motion for a pilot project on citizen-led budgeting, using the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR) model. However, the City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that citizen-led budgeting has been an established practice in Stockholm since 2018. The City Management Administration has already developed a methodology based on the SKR model, with 17 citizen-led budgets implemented between 2023 and 2025.
The City Council rejected a motion by Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) to introduce "safety kiosks" staffed by security guards and field assistants to increase safety in Stockholm. The decision cited that the city's current mobile safety initiatives are effective and offer better flexibility. The Moderates dissented, advocating for the motion's approval to establish a permanent physical presence in unsafe areas.
