Agenda for the College Meeting on November 10, 2026
1 | Adoption of the Agenda for the Executive Board Meeting on November 10, 2026 For approval. |
2 | Policy Memorandum: ODZOB Work Program 2027 Each year, we establish specific working agreements with the ODZOB in the form of a work program. The work program prepared for 2027 is now before you. |
3 | Policy Memorandum on the Hulst Groundwater Study In early 2026, we received reports indicating that there might be a structurally high groundwater level in the Hulst neighborhood of Geldrop. This came to light following the presentation of the “Dommeldal uit de Verf” plan. We commissioned a study on this matter. Before this report is published, it will be submitted to the municipal executive for approval. |
4 | Policy Memorandum on the Further Development of the “Slim Wonen 2027” Energy Center Since 2021, the energy help desk services for the municipalities of Asten, Deurne, Geldrop-Mierlo, Gemert-Bakel, Helmond, Nuenen, and Someren have been provided by the Energiehuis Slim Wonen (EHSW) Foundation. The current agreements with EHSW run through 2026. At the same time, the European EPBD IV Directive calls for a broader “Energy House” that supports all residents in making their homes more sustainable. This includes not only homeowners but also renters and residents of homeowners’ associations (VvE’s). We are currently in discussions with the other municipalities and the EHSW about what a future energy help desk that complies with EPBD IV should look like. Because this plan still needs to be further developed, we have decided to extend the existing agreements by one year. Clarity regarding the period after 2028 will emerge during 2027, at which point new agreements will be made. |
5 | Memorandum on the Signing of the Deed of Transfer of Copyrights for the Corporate Identity On March 10, 2026, the municipal executive decided to utilize Het Stadteland in promoting Geldrop-Mierlo and to adopt the marketing brand as a municipal organization. Part of this involves the use of the Stadteland logo within the municipal organization. In doing so, the municipality is developing its own corporate identity, in line with its public and informational role. To ensure the sustainable use and legal protection of the logo, it is necessary for the copyrights to the logos in question to be formally transferred to the Municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo. A deed of transfer and assignment of copyrights has been drawn up for this purpose. |
6 | Cover Page for the Board Proposal: TF SD Quarterly Report Q3 2026 The quarterly report is used to keep the council informed of the progress made by the social services task force. |
7 | Advisory Memorandum on the Zonnebloempot Lease Agreement The 2026–2029 strategy states that the municipality aims to have a public restroom facility accessible to everyone completed in 2027 in the city center, in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant square. The city council passed a motion calling on the municipal executive to ensure there are sufficient public restroom facilities in the municipality by 2026. The proposal concerns a lease agreement for a public restroom facility near the restaurant square in Geldrop. |
8 | Policy Memorandum on the Administrative Approach to (Illegal) Fireworks The municipal executive has the authority to take action using administrative enforcement measures against fireworks found in a residence, a building, or on a property and/or grounds. The manner in which this authority is exercised in such cases is specified in the policy rule titled “Administrative Approach to (Illegal) Fireworks in the Municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo 2026.” This proposal is intended to adopt this policy rule. |
9 | Amendment to the Bleekvelden 1-26 Zoning Plan and the Mierloseweg 28-38 Zoning Plan On June 10, 2024, the zoning plans “Bleekvelden 1-26 Geldrop” and “Mierloseweg 28-38 Geldrop” were adopted. The plans provide for the construction of a total of 132 new apartments and outline the transformation of the Bleekvelden area. Harry Cox Beleggingsmaatschappij Boxmeer B.V., the owner of the land at Bleekvelden 30 (the “Gamma” site), filed an appeal against the decisions to adopt the zoning plans. On April 15, 2026, the Administrative Law Division of the Council of State issued an (interim) ruling in both cases (see 202404807/1/R2 and 202404891/1/R2). The Division found the appeals to be well-founded due to a lack of reasoning and instructed the municipality to remedy the deficiencies and issue new decisions on the matter. The attached remedial decisions (see council proposal) implement the interim rulings of the Council of State. |
10 | Guidance Memorandum on the Mandate for Objections and Appeals Against UWV Decisions The proposal is to authorize the general director to conduct appeals proceedings with the UWV on behalf of the municipal executive. This will make the handling of UWV cases more efficient and prevent the municipal executive from having to make a separate decision for each individual proceeding. The municipal executive will remain politically and administratively responsible, but the actual execution of these duties will shift to the municipal clerk. |
