Memorandum on the Council Proposal: Opinion on the Draft Budget for 2027 and the Multi-Year Forecast for 2028–2030 (ODZOB)

Every day, we work toward a connected, green, and vibrant Geldrop-Mierlo where inclusive prosperity is central. To effectively address these challenges at the regional level, the municipality participates in various joint arrangements (GRs). Each year, the executive board of a joint arrangement submits a draft budget to the participating municipalities. Under the Joint Arrangements Act, the municipal council is given the opportunity to submit its opinion on this draft budget. The municipal executive prepares the decision-making process by presenting the council proposal and the draft opinion letter to the council. The council can thus formally respond to the substantive direction, the financial implications, and any points of concern before the General Board of the GR definitively adopts the budget. The GR then informs the council in writing, providing a rationale, regarding how the opinion has been incorporated into the final budget.

The Executive Board has decided to submit the council proposal “Opinion on the 2027 Draft Budget and 2028–2030 Multi-Year Forecast for ODZOB” to the council for a decision:
1. To propose that the council respond to the draft budget for 2027 and the multi-year forecast for 2028–2030 (ODZOB) and the accompanying documents using the attached opinion letter. 
2. To decide to incorporate the financial implications, in anticipation of the adoption by the General Assembly, into the 2027 program budget and the 2028–2030 multi-year estimate.

Advice Memorandum on Bizob’s 2025 Annual Report

This advisory memorandum is submitted to the Municipal Executive for information regarding Bizob’s annual financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year. Bizob is a foundation that oversees procurement processes in the region. As a participating organization, we have had a contract with Bizob for several years. Bizob operates on a cost-sharing basis, whereby the organization’s costs are allocated to the participating organizations. This is not done in equal shares but is linked to the level of services they receive from Bizob. 

The financial result for the 2025 fiscal year, minus the withdrawal from equity for the purpose of building resilience, results in a positive outcome; the surplus will be returned to the participating organizations. Bizob will provide more information on this at a later date.

The council has decided to take note of the letter regarding Bizob’s annual report for the year 2025, as well as the annual report itself.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between MRE Municipalities and Enexis

New developments such as housing construction, the establishment of new businesses and the expansion of existing ones, and sustainability initiatives (often) lead to increased energy demand. At the same time, there is already a major challenge in making existing homes and businesses more sustainable. This requires expanding the electricity grid, which in turn necessitates thousands of additional substations and kilometers of cable. The pace of this expansion is currently too slow to realize regional ambitions. Enexis and the MRE municipalities therefore jointly launched the Brainport Future-Proof Electricity Grid Implementation Program (UTEB) in 2024. The goal of this program is to reduce the lead time for expansions by at least 50%. This is only possible if municipalities make agreements with Enexis on how we will carry out these projects together. Only by working closely together, making joint decisions, and understanding each other’s perspectives can we achieve our shared goals. With this Supplementary Agreement (NOK), we are taking the first step toward this.

The council decides to approve:
1. Entering into the Supplementary Agreement (NOK) between the MRE municipalities and Enexis.
2. Requesting the mayor to authorize Councilor Stravers to sign the NOK on behalf of the council.

Memorandum on the Contract for Services in Connection with the Continuation of the Storm Application for 2026–2028

Depression and suicidal tendencies are common among young people. That is why the STORM prevention program has been implemented in the Helmond-de Peel and Geldrop-Mierlo regions since 2016. The participating municipalities intend to continue the program during the 2026–2027 and 2027–2028 school years. Funds have already been set aside for this purpose within the preventive youth policy budget.

Memorandum on the Council Proposal for the Zesgehuchten Core Area Vision

Several major urban development projects are underway in Zesgehuchten. The Jozef School (currently spread across two locations on Papenvoort and Gildestraat) is in need of a new building; the former Josephinehof retirement home is outdated; and the church council has indicated that it is open to selling the parsonage garden.

To coordinate all these developments, the municipality, together with Woonbedrijf, has taken the initiative to draw up an area vision for the center of Zesgehuchten. An important condition for both parties was to allow the residents of Zesgehuchten to actively provide input on the vision and the choices made within it.

Memorandum on the Adoption of the Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) MRE

The population of the Southeast Brabant region is projected to grow by approximately 20–25% by 2040. Growth without adequate infrastructure places pressure on schools, Health, sports, culture, and green spaces. Uncoordinated growth undermines quality of life and social cohesion, partly because this growth also results in changing demographics. That is why “Balanced Growth” and “Broad Prosperity” are key concepts here. The Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) is part of the 21 municipalities’ response to this challenge. The strategy outlines how we will collectively take responsibility to transform this scale expansion into a leap in quality.

The Municipal Executive decides:
1. To approve the Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) with regard to the regional vision, guiding principles, and broad outlines of action, with Geldrop-Mierlo committing to further regional elaboration and coordination, and taking into account the Geldrop-Mierlo response mentioned in point 3. 
2. To approve the three regional priorities within the RUS-V:
- Educational facilities
- Primary care and mental health care
- Sports and physical activity, including village/neighborhood centers. 
3. To adopt the attached municipality-specific response from Geldrop-Mierlo and to send it as the official response of the municipal executive to the Executive Committee of the MRE, so that Geldrop-Mierlo’s points of concern are taken into account in further regional development. 
4. To lift the confidentiality as of May 19, 2026, and subsequently inform the municipal council via a Council Information Letter regarding the approval of the regional strategy and its implications for Geldrop-Mierlo.
