Policy Memorandum on the First Amendment to the Local Insulation Initiative Grant Program

On February 3, 2026, your council adopted the 2026 Geldrop-Mierlo Local Insulation Initiative Grant Program. The Requirements the Specific Grant that we are using for this grant program stipulate that we may only use the grant for measures implemented after December 31, 2022. The council proposal of February 3 therefore also indicated that we would incorporate this condition into the subsidy scheme. However, this condition was inadvertently omitted from the subsidy scheme itself. This first amendment decision rectifies this. In addition, an incorrect reference is corrected.

The council has decided to adopt the First Amendment to the 2026 Subsidy Scheme for the Local Insulation Initiative in Geldrop-Mierlo.

Policy Paper on the Further Development of the "Slim Wonen" Energy Center

The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD IV) stipulates that member states must provide a one-stop shop where residents and small business owners can seek support in making their properties more sustainable. This European directive still needs to be further incorporated into national legislation. However, it is already clear that compliance with the directive will require the expansion and further professionalization of the Energy House. In addition, the existing agreements with the Energiehuis expire on December 31, 2026. This therefore calls for the continued development of the Energiehuis and for new agreements for the period after 2026. For this reason, participating municipalities and the Energiehuis Slim Wonen have jointly drawn up a framework of agreements and a project plan.

The Municipal Executive resolves:
1. To approve the attached framework of agreements.
2. To approve the exploration of the further development of the energy help desk based on the attached project plan.
3. To cover the additional costs for 2026 from the sustainability budget. 
4. To cover rising costs for the period 2027–2030 from the sustainability budget and CDOKE.

Guidance Document: Cost-Based Rent Calculation

In accordance with the housing policy and the revision of the Comprehensive Housing Plan 2021–2025, which extended the Comprehensive Housing Plan to 2025–2029, including the accompanying council proposal of May 6, 2025, a cost-covering rent will be agreed upon with tenants of municipal real estate who are not commercial entities. To ensure that the calculation at the start of the lease is consistent for everyone and to avoid reinventing the wheel each time, there is a need for a standard format for calculating this cost-covering rent.

The council has decided to adopt the formula for calculating cost-recovery rent, which will serve as a standard tool for determining the rent for tenants—other than commercial businesses—of municipal real estate.
