Advisory memorandum on Blauwe Ader Adelaartlaan

We are going to construct a rainwater sewer in Coevering, known as a Blue Vein. This is a large central drainage sewer to which existing and new rainwater sewers in the neighborhood can be connected. The route starts near Heidezoom and runs via Grote Bos and Adelaartlaan to the Kleine Dommel. The work will be carried out in phases and will take several years to complete. The project involves a multidisciplinary and integrated approach. Next spring, we will go through the participation process for phase 1 (Adelaartlaan).

The council decides:
1. To proceed with the elaboration of the preliminary design.
2. To release the preliminary design for the participation process.

College proposal RIB tax write-down Groot Luchen

The council recently approved six of the seven decision points in the advisory memorandum on the mandatory tax write-down of the Groot Luchen land development project in response to the 2019 tax assessment imposed by the Tax and Customs Administration. The council did not agree with the manner in which the municipal council would be informed. It had been proposed to inform the General Affairs Committee orally on November 24 during the discussion of the interim report. Further accountability would then take place via the land policy section of the 2025 annual accounts. The municipal executive has decided to inform the municipal council via a council information letter. The attached council information letter has been agreed with the portfolio holders for land management and finance. As they do not (have not been given) a mandate for this, it must be resubmitted to the municipal executive for a decision.

The council decides:
1. to approve the attached council information letter;
2. to forward the council information letter to the council.

Advisory note on updating regional cooperation, ROZE foundation

This proposal updates regional cooperation on the care of stray animals. The municipality of Deurne formally joins the covenant and service agreement with Stichting ROZE. In addition, mandate and supervision agreements are amended to continue to comply with the legal requirements for quasi-insourcing and to strengthen the governance of the foundation. This ensures the continuity and legitimacy of regional animal shelter services.

The council has decided to approve the update of the regional cooperation with Stichting ROZE by allowing the municipality of Deurne to join the covenant and the service agreement, and by adjusting the mandate and supervision agreements. This will prevent legal risks, comply with tendering rules, and ensure that the regional shelter for stray animals remains sustainably and efficiently organized.

College proposal to put the presentation 'Brainport for Each Other' on the agenda.

The municipal council has made structural funds available to become a member of the Brainport voor Elkaar association. The group management team has decided to become a member of the association as a municipal organization (the legal entity under public law). 

During the council meeting on June 30, 2025, Alderman promised to invite Brainport voor Elkaar to provide an explanation to the committee. The amendment in which the council decided to become a member of the association also stipulates that the council must be informed. This planned presentation will meet the need for information.

The council decides to approve the agenda request for the Social Affairs Committee for a presentation by (the program office of) "Brainport for Each Other."

Advisory memorandum Opinion on the draft Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 VRBZO

Under the Safety Regions Act, every safety region is required to draw up a regional policy plan. The plan sets out the policy with regard to the tasks of the safety region. Prior to the adoption of the policy plan, the mayor consults with the municipal council on the draft policy plan. The Joint Regulation for the Brabant-Zuidoost Safety Region 2024 includes an opinion procedure for the Regional Policy Plan to be adopted. The General Board of VRBZO has sent the draft Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 to the councils of the participating municipalities with the request to submit their opinions on it before March 23, 2026. The board will take the opinions expressed into account when preparing the decision-making process on the adoption of the Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 in the General Board. Decision-making in the General Board is scheduled for April 3, 2026.

The council decides to approve the council proposal for an opinion on the draft Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 for the Brabant-Zuidoost Safety Region, in which the following decision points are submitted to the council: 
1. To present an opinion on the draft Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 for the Brabant-Zuidoost Safety Region and to inform VRBZO of this in the attached letter.
