The City Executive Board proposes that all committees within the City of Stockholm implement digital personnel records, with existing paper records to be scanned in. This aims to streamline document handling, enhance security, and improve searchability for both managers and employees. The Sports Administration supports the proposal but emphasizes the need for a thorough evaluation of system choices to ensure user-friendliness.

Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the city establish clear guidelines for sponsorship and naming rights at municipal sports facilities, enabling sports clubs to generate revenue from sponsors. However, the Sports Administration advises against the proposal, citing legal complexities in allowing clubs to sell naming rights for multi-user municipal facilities and noting that the city already has an ongoing initiative addressing advertising and sponsorship on sports grounds.

The Sports Committee is to review the Sports Administration's proposed response to the City Executive Board's "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030."

This action plan, extending to 2030, aims to strengthen the city's gender equality efforts, ensuring Stockholmers have equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender.

The Sports Committee will consider a proposal to distribute a SEK 1 million budget increase as association support for environmental and climate work.

The Sports Committee will review a proposal for two new forms of financial support for sports clubs in Stockholm. This includes an addition to the membership activity grant for clubs that keep their fees low, and support for clubs with their own financial aid programs (social funds) to help members with limited means. The aim is to enable more children and young people to participate in club activities, regardless of their family's economic situation.

The Sports Administration proposes a new program to increase swimming proficiency in Stockholm, which will be approved by the Sports Committee and then submitted to the City Council for final adoption.

The Sports Committee proposes its budget for 2027, with a focus on 2028 and 2029, outlining how it will increase Stockholmers' physical activity by supporting sports clubs and developing sports opportunities linked to the school day.

The Sports Department will announce that officials are traveling to Helsinki. This is a notification of a delegation decision already made within the administration.

The Real Estate Committee will consider a report from the Real Estate Department responding to a letter from Henrik Virro et al. (M) regarding safety measures in city properties. The department identified a property with particularly high insecurity and detailed its work with lighting, access systems, and perimeter protection, as well as collaboration with police and other stakeholders to enhance safety. They emphasized that approaches and solutions must be tailored to specific locations and conditions.

The Real Estate Committee will review the Real Estate Department's response concerning climate adaptation of city properties, prompted by questions about flood-vulnerable buildings and planned measures.

The Real Estate Committee is to review a consultation response regarding the City of Stockholm's new program for events.

The new program proposes using events as a tool to strengthen the city's appeal, drive sustainable growth, and foster pride and cohesion among Stockholmers.

The Real Estate Committee is to respond to a referral from the City Executive Board concerning the introduction of digital personnel files across all city committees. This entails scanning existing paper files and investing 70 million SEK between 2026 and 2031 to develop and implement the system. The Real Estate Department is positive about the proposal, citing benefits such as more efficient management and improved information security, but wants to ensure sufficient resources are allocated for the scanning process.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City of Stockholm approve a new action plan for gender equality, extending to 2030.

Key focus areas include knowledge and information, welfare and services, and participation and influence.

The Real Estate Committee is set to review the proposed budget for 2027–2029, which outlines strategic directions for developing and maintaining the city's sports facilities, park playgrounds, and cultural venues. It also covers efforts to reduce climate impact and improve energy efficiency within the property portfolio. The proposal further emphasizes the importance of a sustainable economy, strategic competence supply, and efficient working methods for managing the city's properties.

The Service Committee responded to a referral concerning the City of Stockholm's action plan for an age-friendly city, expressing a positive view on the plan's aim to ensure older people have equal rights and participate in community life. The Moderates, however, reserved themselves against the decision, arguing the plan has a low level of ambition, lacks clear responsibilities and measurable goals, and risks limiting freedom of choice for the elderly, partly due to a stricter food policy and insufficient support for LGBTQI+ individuals.

The City of Stockholm plans to digitalize approximately 88,000 employee personnel files to streamline handling, improve information security, and reduce manual work. This five-year project (2026-2031) is estimated to cost SEK 70 million, funded through reserved IT development funds.

The City of Stockholm has developed a program for events aiming to establish it as one of Europe's leading event cities.

The Service Department has responded positively to the City Executive Board's referral regarding the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030," which aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all residents regardless of sex. They suggest complementing the plan with methodological support, guidance, and tools to strengthen its implementation, and linking it more clearly to budgets for easier follow-up and collaboration. The plan emphasizes gender equality analyses and integrating a gender perspective across all city operations, focusing on knowledge, welfare/service, and participation/influence.

The Service Committee will decide on new and amended prices for the Service Department's services in 2026. This includes a new mandatory service to register lease agreements in the LOIS system, with departments managing over 10 agreements being charged 180 SEK per agreement.
