06 Data Processing by the Regional Youth Protection Committee
The regional Youth Protection Committee is a process designed to prevent situations from escalating to the point of requiring compulsory measures. For the Protection Roundtable, data is processed between and with (external) partners. A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) conducted in Eindhoven found that the requirements are met, but that a clear, legally valid basis for the processing of personal data is lacking. Discontinuing the Protection Roundtable could have adverse consequences for young people.
The council has decided:
1. To maintain the municipality of Eindhoven’s operation of the regional Youth Protection Committee for the Southeast Brabant region—and thus for the municipality of Nuenen—despite the lack of a legal basis for data sharing.
2. To minimize the risks associated with data processing by:
- Implementing mitigating measures and continuously assessing them;
- Sharing only information that is strictly necessary for the purpose (proportionality);
- Using clear guidelines to assess the lawfulness of data processing;
3. Informing the council about this in a council information letter.

08 Subsidy Cap for the Social Housing Designated Reserve 2026/2027
Setting a subsidy cap under the 2019 Social Housing Subsidy Regulation prevents the subsidy program from becoming open-ended. The proposed subsidy cap for the period from October 15, 2026, through September 30, 2027, amounts to €512,000 and is in line with the current available balance in the designated reserve.
The council has decided to set the subsidy cap for the period from October 15, 2026, through September 30, 2027, at €512,000.
09 Future-Proof Energy House: Smart Living
We want to develop the energy help desk for residents of the municipality of Nuenen into a Future-Proof Energy House. The current subsidy agreements will therefore be extended through 2027, including the corresponding investment for 2027 and subsequent years. This will allow us to further develop the growth model of the “Slim Wonen” Energy House. The “Slim Wonen” Energy House, a project in which we collaborate with seven other municipalities, will thus be able to continue fulfilling our legal obligations under the Climate Agreement and grow in accordance with the guidelines of EPBD IV.
The council has decided:
1. To continue the current subsidy arrangement with EnergieHuis Slim Wonen (EHSW) in 2027 and to prepare a draft Designation Decision for Services of General Economic Interest (DAEB);
2. To increase the subsidy ceiling to €106,848 for the continuation and expansion of current services in 2027 and the further professionalization of the municipal energy help desk in accordance with the “Future-Proof Energy House” business plan, and to add this as a decision item to the council proposal accompanying the second interim report for 2026;
3. For the years 2027 through 2030, to set aside €106,848 from the funds allocated to the temporary capacity scheme for local governments regarding climate and energy policy (CDOKE) and to incorporate this into the Sustainability and Climate Implementation Plan 2025–2030.
10 Brainport Approach to Network Congestion
Grid congestion threatens to slow spatial and economic growth within the region. The MRE, together with the municipalities of Eindhoven and Helmond, has drawn up a proposal for a joint, targeted approach to grid congestion in the region in collaboration with the province, the national government (EZK), Enexis, Tennet, and Brainport Development. The goal is to have all 21 municipalities adopt this approach, along with the list of measures, to minimize the consequences of grid congestion.
The council has decided to adopt the Brainport Approach to Network Congestion, including the list of measures.
11 Council Information Letter on Early Childhood Education Policy
On May 21, 2026, the council proposal on Early Childhood Education (VVE) policy was submitted to the council for consideration and tabled. The agenda committee subsequently requested that the outstanding questions be answered during an informational evening.
The executive committee has decided to address these questions in this council information letter so that the council has the necessary information to continue its deliberations on the VVE policy.
The college has decided to inform the council about this via a council information letter.
September 12, 2026 Municipal Fund Circular
On September 23, 2026, we presented the 2027 Program Budget and the 2028–2030 Multi-Year Estimate to the council. These documents state that the September 2026 Municipal Fund Circular has not yet been incorporated. The budget is based on the May 2026 Circular. The September circular was published on September 16, 2026, and the financial implications have been analyzed. With this memo, we are informing the council about the financial implications and how we will incorporate them into the 2027–2030 budget. The implications for 2026 will be included in the fall 2026 interim report.
The Executive Board has decided:
1. To approve the recommendations in the memo on the September Circular on the Municipal Fund 2026;
2. To forward the memo on the September Circular on the Municipal Fund 2026 to the City Council as a supplementary document to the 2027 Program Budget and the 2028–2030 Multi-Year Forecast.
13 Opinion on the 2026 Budget Amendment for the Blink Joint Arrangement
The municipality of Nuenen participates in the Blink Joint Arrangement, which carries out waste collection and street cleaning tasks on behalf of nine municipalities. Blink’s Executive Board has presented the 2026 budget amendment to the participating municipalities. Blink’s total 2026 budget will increase by 4% compared to the previously adopted budget. Because the participating municipalities purchase different services from Blink, this budget amendment has different financial implications for each municipality. For the municipality of Nuenen, the budget amendment means that the contribution for 2026 is expected to be 1% lower than originally budgeted. The municipal councils will have the opportunity to submit their views before the General Board makes a final decision.
The Executive Board has decided:
1. To approve the City Council’s draft opinion on the 2026 budget amendment of the Blink Joint Arrangement.
2. To submit the draft opinion, the council proposal, and the draft council resolution to the City Council for a decision.
