8. May Circular 2023 - Jan Boersma
The May circular was published on May 31, 2023, and the financial consequences are detailed in this memo. Due to errors in the national calculations and additional research, it took longer than expected to paint a complete picture in the short term. As a result, this memo on the May circular is later than usual. With this memo, we are informing the council about the financial consequences and how they will be incorporated into the 2024-2027 multi-year budget. The consequences for 2023 will be included in the second management report for 2023.
The council takes note of the May circular 2023 memo and agrees to submit this memo to the council as an appendix to the 2024-2027 framework memorandum.
9. New indexing method 10vdJ - Steven Grevink
As part of the Youth Reform Agenda, national contract standards have been developed to reduce administrative burdens. One of these aspects concerns indexation. The proposal is to apply the indexation in the national contract standards to the Youth Assistance contracts within A 10 for Youth. In doing so, we are following the developments of the Youth Reform Agenda and offering clear and uniform indexation to youth assistance providers. For 2024, the indexation percentage has been set at 6.43%.
College Decision:
- to amend the indexation provision within A 10 for Youth in accordance with the national contract standards with effect from January 1, 2024, and to amend the indexation provision in the agreement accordingly;
- not to implement any interim adjustments in the future due to changes in collective labor agreement provisions, as these are reflected in subsequent annual OVA indexation, which forms an important basis for indexation;
- to set the indexation percentage for Youth Assistance contracts at 6.43% for 2024.
10. Pilot project for non-indicative daytime activities Archipel - Steven Grevink

A subsidy will be made available for this pilot project for the coming year. During this period, the pilot will be evaluated and a decision will be made about its continuation.
The council decides:
- to make a subsidy available for the pilot project for general day care facilities for the period from July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024;
- to evaluate the pilot in the first quarter of 2024.
