The municipal board is proposed to approve an updated property and facility program that outlines the future of the municipality's real estate assets. In the program, properties are divided into three groups: buildings to be retained for core functions (Portfolio A), properties to be developed, some of which can be sold or demolished (Portfolio B), and properties to be disposed of (Portfolio C). The most significant changes concern the discontinuation of Pirha operations in Lempäälä-talo and the relocation of youth center activities to the wooden building in Halkola. The Community Board proposes removing the statement "No investments will be made in village schools" from the program.
The municipal board meeting proposes to approve the meeting agenda and the order of business. This is a standard procedure that ensures meeting matters are handled in the agreed order. According to the administrative regulations, the agenda is sent in advance with the meeting invitation, and if necessary, other matters can also be taken up for consideration by majority decision. The decision enables the meeting to proceed smoothly according to the planned program.
Lempäälä municipality's advocacy plan for the years 2026-2029 is proposed for approval in the municipal board. The plan defines how the municipality will influence decisions concerning it in other organizations such as the state, region and wellbeing services county. The advocacy focuses on four themes: southern urban region transport projects (including the realignment of highway 3), employment and vitality, promotion of wellbeing, and legislation and funding. The objective is to secure Lempäälä's interests and increase the municipality's vitality as well as residents' wellbeing by influencing regional and national decisions.
The municipal board is proposed to approve the general plan for Marjamäki's new sub-center, which will guide the development of the Ideapark area into a pleasant sub-center. According to the plan, housing for approximately 1,700 new residents, a new daycare center, and improvements to pedestrian, cycling, and public transport connections are intended to be built in the area. The general plan serves as a foundation for future local detailed plan amendments and area development, but is not legally binding. Traffic is proposed to be reorganized so that residential area vehicle traffic is directed away from burdening Ideaparkinkatu.
The municipal manager presents current affairs at the meeting that concern the municipality and its operations. It is proposed to the municipal board that these current affairs be noted for information. This is an informative matter where no actual decisions are made but information is shared about the municipality's situation and upcoming matters.
Kokouksen laillisuus ja päätösvaltaisuus
The Community Board proposes to the municipal council that the municipality may in the future charge a fee for processing exemption applications under the water services act. This concerns situations where a property owner applies for exemption from the obligation to connect to the municipality's water and sewage network. The new fee is based on a legislative change that gives municipalities the right to charge the total costs incurred from processing exemption applications. The detailed amount of the fee will be determined later in the municipality's tariff, if the council approves the change.
The municipal board is presented for information with the community board's minutes from early March and decisions made by officials from February 23 - March 9. A summary report of the official decisions has been delivered to municipal board members for review. The municipal board is proposed to note these documents for information without taking them up for formal consideration.
The municipality is proposed to impose a construction ban and activity restrictions on the southern part of Marjamäki area for the duration of the partial master plan preparation. The purpose of the plan is to develop a sub-center around Ideapark, where residential areas for approximately 4,000 residents and new jobs are planned along Helsinkintie. The goal for the area is to create denser housing in the proximity of Ideapark and more detached house-oriented housing towards Kuivaspää, as well as high-quality recreational areas and bicycle paths. The construction ban would be in effect for a maximum of five years until the plan is completed.
