Cover page of college proposal Implementation Agenda Budget GR Cure 2027

The Framework for Household Soil and Waste Materials 2026-2029 stipulates that the municipal executive must adopt an annual Household Waste Implementation Agenda containing specific measures. These measures are incorporated into the Draft Budget for Soil and Waste Management and the municipality's Multi-Year Budget. This advisory note proposes six measures that contribute to reducing the amount of residual waste per resident and to participation in the circular economy. The measures require a one-time investment of €173,000 (of the total expected budget increase of €387,000), which will result in cost savings in subsequent years.

The council decides:
1. To adopt the Implementation Agenda for Household Soil and Waste Materials for 2027.
2. To include measures from the Implementation Agenda as costs in the Draft Budget of the Cure 2027 Joint Arrangement. 
3. To include measures from the Implementation Agenda that are implemented from the Sustainability budget as income in the Draft Budget of the Cure 2027 Joint Arrangement.

Advisory memorandum - Letter of intent regarding the installation of a transport distribution station in Luchen East

Enexis has indicated that adding a transmission distribution station is necessary to guarantee the security of electricity supply in Mierlo. The station will be used to distribute medium voltage and is needed to make Mierlo future-proof and enable expansion through new homes and businesses. The transmission distribution station will replace the current function of several smaller electricity stations in Mierlo. These existing stations will be modified by Enexis and will remain in use as distribution stations. These are small-scale facilities for the local distribution of electricity. These modifications will take place within the existing footprint and will have no additional spatial or planning consequences for the municipality. 

Enexis has conducted a location study. This study shows that there are possibilities within the Luchen Oost area. Because the municipality is currently working on the planning for this area, the space required for the transport distribution station can be found at the front end of the planning process. 

The parties aim to find an exact and suitable location within six months of entering into the letter of intent.

The council decides to approve the 'Letter of Intent regarding the installation of a transport distribution station in Luchen East' and to authorize the mayor to sign it;

Advisory note on strategy and budget process

This proposal asks the council to agree that the organization will not draw up a new strategy or new strategic goals in 2026. The course for 2027 and beyond will initially be determined by the coalition agreement that is yet to be concluded. Until then, work will continue within the existing frameworks of Vision 2044 and Strategy 2026–2029. 

In addition, it is proposed that roundtable discussions be organized by theme in the spring of 2026 (March–April). The aim is to assess where we stand in terms of content in relation to the current goals and to gather specific input that can be used for the coalition negotiations. The outcomes of these roundtable discussions can then be incorporated into the coalition agreement and, where necessary, lead to adjusted targets in the 2027–2030 budget. This choice of process and course of action requires the explicit agreement of the municipal executive.

The council decides:
1. To establish that the organization will not draw up a new strategy or strategic reassessment in 2026, which means that:
1a. Until the coalition/council agreement is established, work will continue within the existing frameworks of Vision 2044 and Strategy 2026–2029; 
1b. the organization will not formulate new strategic goals for the coalition agreement, but will limit itself to elaboration, refinement, or temporization/acceleration within the existing administrative framework. 
2. To decide that the outcomes of the discussion tables in the period March-April will be compiled into an official memorandum/position paper with strategic points of attention and choices that can be submitted by the council as substantive input for the coalition agreement.
