About the Stockholm County Association of Local Authorities - KSL
Autonomous municipalities cooperate in a powerful region
KSLs vision is that autonomous municipalities cooperate in a powerful region. Our mission statement says that KSL, together with the municipalities, our members, will
- initiate innovative development
- lobby other groups and organizations
- create opportunities for cooperation
- create regional knowledge
with the aim to strengthen the local region.
In accordance with its statutes, KSL will support and develop municipal autonomy, safeguard municipal interests, promote cooperation between municipalities and assist municipal operations.
Funding
The operations of KSL are financed by the fees paid annually by members according to their tax base and - to a certain extent - by externally financed operations, e. g. joint admissions administration, Stockholm county environment cooperation, Secretariat for the Stockholm County Structural Funds Partnership.
A politically controlled organization
The organization is politically controlled. The municipalities appoint representatives to the General Assembly, which is the highest decision-making body. One General Assembly per mandate period is held following general elections. The General Assembly appoints the Board of directors, accountants and election committee.
KSLs Board of Directors is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the organization. Delegations or committees for specific assignments can be appointed by the Board of Directors.
For the mandate period 2011-2014, the Board of Directors has appointed the following committees
- Labour Market
- Education
- Health and Social Services
- Environmental Objectives
