Policy Memorandum on Extending Advance Payments to Youth Assistance Provider CJ

The youth care regions “A 10 for Youth” (10vdJ) and “Together for Youth” (SvJ) deal with a number of cross-regional youth care providers within the healthcare landscape. One of these is the Combinatie Jeugdzorg Foundation (CJ). The two youth care regions work together when significant issues arise in the care landscape that affect both regions. CJ is one of the largest youth care providers in our region, performing a number of crucial care functions in the areas of parenting and child development. To ensure continuity of care, the municipal executive agreed in April 2023 to provide an advance payment totaling 3.1 million euros to CJ for the 21 municipalities in Southeast Brabant, of which 1.4 million euros has already been paid. CJ has requested that the advance be extended until December 31, 2027, as the recovery of its financial situation will take more time.

The Municipal Executive resolves:
1. To approve the conclusion of the addendum to the Agreement on Advance Payments to Stichting Combinatie Jeugdzorg by the municipalities of Eindhoven and Helmond, in which the final repayment date for the advance payment is extended by one year to December 31, 2027. 
2. In line with decision point 1, to request the mayor of the municipality of Eindhoven and the mayor of the municipality of Helmond to sign the attached addendum (Appendix 1) on behalf of the subregion “Een 10 voor de Jeugd/Samen voor Jeugd.”

Policy Paper on the Renovation of Cafe Schonmoeder

The municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo and the sole proprietorship Café-biljart Schônmoeder have entered into a lease agreement regarding the premises at Linze 13 in Geldrop (near the De Kievit sports hall). The lease agreement is for a term of 5 years and runs from July 14, 2022, through July 13, 2027. The operator has indicated a desire to terminate this lease agreement effective July 1, 2026. To ensure this termination proceeds smoothly, we wish to make a few arrangements with the operator. Afterward, we can begin searching for a new way to reopen the sports canteen for athletes starting with the new season.

The council has decided to approve the transfer of the equipment by the operator in exchange for a payment of €10,000.00 from the maintenance budget for De Kievit Sports Hall (FCL 6520053 / ECL 38009 U).

To Map whether an EIA is required for this, consulting firm TAUW conducted an EIA assessment of the environmental impacts of ground-source heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps, and PVT heat pumps.

The Municipal Executive resolves:
1. To take note of the EIA assessment for the Geldrop-Mierlo heating program.

Memorandum on Adjusting the BAG Registration Process for Electricity Connection Applications Submitted Before July 1

To prevent (new construction) projects at an advanced stage from facing delays when applying for an electricity connection with Enexis, it is essential that these applications be submitted by July 1, 2026. A prerequisite for this is BAG registration (the “house number decision”), which in turn depends on the issuance of an environmental permit. Our analysis shows that a number of projects will just miss this deadline. To prevent this delay, we propose adjusting the procedure for BAG registration effective immediately.

The council resolves:
1. To approve the temporary adjustment to the BAG registration procedure for applications for electricity connections submitted before July 1, 2026.
2. To approve the attached council information letter and forward it to the Municipal Clerk’s Office.

Board Proposal: First Interim Report 2026

Voor u ligt de 1e tussentijdse rapportage (turap) 2026. In deze rapportage leest u hoe het ervoor staat met de uitvoering van de begroting 2026. Wij laten daarbij de voortgang van de doelen en activiteiten zien en de financiële stand van zaken.

De doelen in deze rapportage komen uit de begroting 2026 en meerjarenraming 2027–2029 en zijn gebaseerd op de Strategie 2026–2029. Die strategie is een uitwerking van de Visie Geldrop-Mierlo 2044. In die visie staat het woongeluk van onze inwoners centraal, in een verbonden, levendige en groene gemeente. Met deze tussentijdse rapportage maken wij zichtbaar hoe wij daar in 2026 aan werken.

Om de voortgang goed inzichtelijk te maken, gebruiken wij een verkeerslichtenmodel. Daarmee is in één oogopslag te zien welke onderdelen volgens planning verlopen, waar extra aandacht nodig is en op welke punten bijsturing wenselijk is. Zo helpt deze rapportage de raad, het college en de organisatie om goed geïnformeerd te blijven en waar nodig op tijd bij te sturen.

Naast het inhoudelijke deel, geeft de turap het verloop van de budgetten weer in de eerste 3 maanden van 2026. Overschrijdingen en onderbestedingen waarvan wordt verwacht dat ze aan het einde van het jaar afwijken van de begroting, worden voorgelegd. Na akkoord en daarmee vaststelling van de begrotingswijziging bij deze tussentijdse rapportage, worden de wijzigingen in de budgetten doorgevoerd. Op deze wijze wordt verder uitvoering gegeven aan uw oproep, om afwijkingen in budgetten eerder te constateren en te verwerken in tussentijdse rapportages of begrotingswijzigingen, waarmede het jaarrekeningresultaat meer voorspelbaar wordt.

Met de raad is afgesproken dat alleen afwijkingen ≥ € 50.000,- of gerelateerd aan reserves worden toegelicht (onderdeel A). Afwijkingen < € 50.000,- en budget neutrale wijzigingen worden niet toegelicht en als één totaalbedrag opgenomen in de turap (onderdeel B). In onderdeel C is het verloop van de stelposten indexatie weergeven, om inzicht te bieden in het verloop van de stelposten als gevolg van noodzakelijke indexatie van budgetten (loon- en prijsbijstellingen).

In de bijlage van deze tussentijdse rapportage staat het kredietoverzicht, waarbij alleen de kredieten staan waarbij er afwijkingen zijn geconstateerd in bedrag of doorlooptijd.

The college decides to agree to the attached council proposal.

Policy Memorandum: Evaluation of the Key Plan for Sports Halls and Continuation of Digital Sports Hall Management

Since May 1, 2025, the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo has been using a digital key system for its municipal sports facilities. Under this system, regular users have been granted independent access to the facilities via digital keys, and regular evening and weekend staffing has been largely phased out. 

During the budget deliberations in November 2025, the municipal council submitted an amendment calling for attention to safety, supervision, accessibility, and ease of use within the sports halls. In response, the municipal executive conducted an evaluation among regular users of the sports halls. 

This evaluation shows that there are few complaints about the digital key system and that many comments related to practical areas for improvement regarding access, cleaning, communication, and emergency response. A large portion of these improvements has since been implemented. It is therefore proposed to continue managing the sports hall in this manner.

The Municipal Executive decides:
1. To take note of the evaluation of the digital key plan for municipal sports halls.
2. To approve the continuation of the digital key plan and the current method of sports hall management. 
3. The additional measures taken regarding safety, accessibility, cleaning, and communication are part of this.
a. To approve the introduction of an emergency number/on-call service for users of the sports halls. 
b. To approve the structural deployment of cleaning robots within municipal sports halls.
c. To adopt revised general Requirements the use of municipal sports halls, including provisions regarding digital access and user responsibilities.
4. To inform the council via a council information letter about the evaluation and continuation of the key plan.
