1. The property tax on people’s homes must be removed during the four-year period. 2. Business management systems must be introduced in all agencies and municipal enterprises that provide an overview of the use of all personnel and material input factors. 3. Review the municipality’s property portfolio with the aim of selling buildings and properties that are unused or have low utilization. 4. A leisure card scheme is established which ensures that children, regardless of their parents’ income, can participate in leisure activities. NOK 100 million is set aside for this. The scheme is targeted at families who have the greatest need, so that it hits both low-income families and a wider group of families with ordinary wage incomes who may have problems covering expenses for leisure activities. The scheme shall not be financed by cuts in schemes with similar purposes. The parties believe that the scheme should not trigger a reduction in other benefits. The final arrangement will be clarified between the four parties in 2024. 5. Regulations on the lending and letting of schools and other municipal premises to voluntary organizations must be revised to ensure better access. 6. The city council must submit to the city council a separate action plan against child poverty. 7. Take the initiative to have statistics compiled at municipal level on the relocation of children under the care of the child welfare services, and submit to the city council a plan that shows how the city council will work systematically over time to give the children increased stability. 8. Strengthen the BPA scheme to ensure equal offers, among other things by centralizing the ordering unit. 9. Build more nursing homes and Care+, look at other models for private/public cooperation on nursing home capacity, agreements on the purchase of places from private companies or combination models for construction and operation. 10. Ensure an increase in competence within nursing and care. 11. The proportion of non-profit actors within health, care and welfare must be increased during the four-year period. This shall, among other things, take place by looking at the possibility of reserved tenders and announcing tenders where special features, uniqueness and added value from non-profit actors are in demand. 12. Extend the scheme with Pink buses to all districts that want it. 13. The city council must present a case to the city council on how relatives can be better looked after in elderly care and health services. 14. Ensure consultation services at nursing homes for different faiths and outlooks on life. This will involve strengthening nursing home chaplaincy services, and in addition strengthening and developing similar services for other faiths and views of life. 15. The schools must be assured of sufficient funds for the purchase of both textbooks and digital teaching aids through growth in basic funding. Economics should not be the reason why schools deprioritize the use of analogue teaching aids. 16. The parties recognize independent schools as a positive contribution to school provision in Oslo and will make arrangements for these to have viable conditions. 17. Introduce social agents in schools with a high level of conflict. 18. Take the initiative to strengthen training on women’s rights in the introductory programme. 19. Create routines for nurseries and schools for children who are left abroad against their will and ensure better cooperation between various public bodies to prevent involuntary stays abroad. 20. Ensure that public employees who work with children and young people receive training about negative social control, honor violence and genital mutilation and that routines are created for how this is reported. 21. Ensure that § 20 and 20 a of the Social Services Act are used actively in the municipality to ensure that as many as possible of those dependent on social assistance receive a meaningful offer of activity that contributes to social mobility and moves more people out of permanent poverty. The offer must be of good quality. 22. Support EXIT programmes, so that those who want to leave gangs, organized crime and extremist groups get help to do so. 23. Decay on the roads due to wear and tear and the emergence of traffic traps must be avoided. The allocations for asphalting must be at least doubled based on the revised budget for Oslo municipality in 2023. In 2024, a binding escalation plan must be submitted to make up for the maintenance backlog. 24. Work for the construction of the Manglerud Tunnel, including connected public transport lanes on the E6 to the city border in the south, and the Røatunnel. 25. The parties agree that tolls are a financial burden for residents and businesses in the city. The parties will be concerned with limiting the costs for private individuals and business as much as possible and work to ensure that the state takes greater responsibility for investments in the capital region. 26. Ensure that there are sufficient parking spaces at recreational areas such as Sognsvann. 27. Establish more HC and MC parking spaces, for the latter especially within ring 2 and at ring 1. 28. Establish sufficient parking spaces for users and relatives at the municipality’s institutions and health facilities. 29. Make arrangements for private individuals to establish floating sea baths along the harbor promenade, for example at Sukkerbiten, with a requirement for free use for schools. 30. Streamline planning and building case processing and make it significantly more predictable. 31. Appeals against refusals in building cases must be processed by the urban development committee to ensure democratic control. 32.

During 2024, the city council must present a case that follows up on the Bakkevig committee’s recommendation on a proposal for a faith and philosophy policy for Oslo municipality. It must, among other things, imply that school leaders in dialogue with pupils find good practical solutions for pupil-initiated religious gatherings.
