Information Note on Volunteer Awards for March 20, the Day Against Discrimination & Racism

March 21, 2026, is the International Day for the Elimination of Discrimination and Racism. This is an important day because, in Geldrop-Mierlo, we want everyone to be able to participate, regardless of age, background, religion, preferences, or disabilities. The Discrimination Hotline and the Inclusive Weaving Table have taken the initiative to use this day to highlight volunteers who are committed to an inclusive society. The goal is to make this an annual event: a moment when a day dedicated to addressing discrimination and racism is instead used to share a positive story about how volunteers make society more inclusive and stronger. Through this, we aim to highlight inclusion in a positive light while emphasizing the importance of volunteer work. In addition, the human rights flag will be raised at City Hall around this day.

Memorandum on the Urgent Request for an Exemption from the Right of First Refusal for Luchen West

On November 4, 2025, the municipal executive decided to establish a right of first refusal on the land in Luchen West. This right of first refusal was confirmed (extended) by the city council on February 2, 2026. The right of first refusal now applies, in principle, for a period of 3 years, after which it will be extended several times—provided that an environmental vision, program, and/or environmental plan is adopted in a timely manner—up to a total period of 16 years. The effect of the right of first refusal is that the land in question may not be transferred without first being offered to the municipality. The Omgevingswet an exception under which the municipal executive may decide to grant an exemption from this obligation to offer the land to the municipality. On December 30, 2025, one of the owners submitted a written request for an exemption from the obligation to offer one of the parcels subject to the right of first refusal. This concerns a cadastral parcel, half of which is owned by the woman in her private capacity and the other half by her husband’s private limited company. The woman requests cooperation to transfer the land into a private limited company to be established by her. The request states as justification that, due to legal and tax considerations, this will make the agricultural business of the applicant and her partner more future-proof. Since the present request is not listed as a ground for exemption in the Omgevingswet, it is up to the council to decide whether or not to grant the request. To this end, an assessment must be made as to whether there are compelling reasons to grant Omgevingswet from the obligation to submit a proposal, pursuant to Article 9.10 of the Omgevingswet , for the contribution of the parcel to the BV. Because the present request is very specific, an official inquiry was made to our in-house counsel. Our in-house counsel’s advice indicated, among other things, that it was advisable to request further justification from the petitioner. After all, the submitted request was not substantiated in concrete terms. Consequently, an official meeting took place with the petitioner on February 5 to obtain more concrete information regarding the request. During the meeting with the petitioner, no specific further justification was provided. It was agreed that a written further justification would be provided. A meeting report was prepared and sent to the petitioner on February 5. This meeting report specifically requested a further justification, as agreed between the petitioner and the officials. On March 2, a detailed justification regarding the previously submitted request was received. This justification states that an exemption is necessary to make the applicant’s and his spouse’s agricultural business more future-proof. Specifically, it is explained that transferring the parcel to the B.V. is more tax-efficient and creates a separation between the applicant’s business assets and private assets, meaning they are no longer jointly and severally liable as a partner in the VOF but rather the B.V. The applicant has expressly requested that a decision on their request be made by March 20. The incorporation of the B.V., along with all related matters, must be formalized by the notary before April 1. This is why a decision must be in place before March 20.

The Municipal Executive resolves:
1. Not to grant the applicant an exemption from the obligation to offer the right of first refusal.
2. To approve the transmission of the attached draft decision to the applicant.
