148: dylid pwysleisio siom y Cyngor ynghylch y diffyg ymgynghori h.y. ‘Teimlai'r Cyngor yn gryf, ac roedd yn hynod siomedig nad oedd ymgysylltu’

It was RESOLVED to approve the minutes, with the following amendment:

163

Materion yn codi o’r Cofnodion:

1. Adroddiad blynyddol drafft PACGA: Cafwyd diweddariad gan y Clerc dan Hyfforddiant, yn dilyn cyngor gan yr PACGA:

• Roedd y taliad o £52 ar gyfer nwyddau traul swyddfa wedi'i eithrio rhag treth.
• Roedd y taliad blynyddol o £156 yn gyfraniad tuag at gostau gweithio o gartref, felly nid oedd yn drethadwy. Fodd bynnag, byddai angen i gynghorwyr ddarparu cadarnhad ysgrifenedig o drefniadau gweithio o gartref er mwyn i'r taliad fod yn ddi-dreth. Byddai'r ddogfennaeth yn cael ei llunio ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf.
• Byddai'r taliadau gorfodol uchod yn awr yn cael eu gwneud ar ddiwedd pob blwyddyn ariannol, gan ddileu'r angen am bolisi i adennill taliadau oddi wrth gynghorwyr.
• Roedd taliadau uwch i gyd yn drethadwy a byddent yn cael eu talu ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn ariannol. Byddai cyngor yn cael ei geisio ar statws treth taliadau uwch.

Matters arising from the minutes:

1. IRPW draft annual report: An update was provided by the Trainee Clerk, following advice from the IRPW:

• The £52 payment for office consumables was tax exempt.
• The £156 annual payment was a contribution towards working from home costs, therefore not taxable. However, councillors would need to provide written confirmation of working from home arrangements for the payment to be tax-free. The documentation would be drawn up for next year.
• The above mandatory payments would now be made at the end of each financial year, eliminating the need for a policy to recover payments from councillors.
• Senior payments were all taxable and would be paid at the start of the financial year. Advice would be sought on the tax status of senior payments.

Ceisiadau cynllunio

Planning applications

167.1

A230720: Hen Goleg

Trafodwyd y cais hwn eto gan fod asesiad o'r effaith ar dreftadaeth wedi'i ddarparu ers y drafodaeth wreiddiol. Fodd bynnag, credwyd nad oedd y ddogfen hon yn ychwanegu digon o fanylion ac mae safbwynt y Cyngor yn aros yr un fath; nid oes unrhyw arwydd o ba mor debygol yw'r slab o fethu.

Ni all y Cyngor ymateb oherwydd diffyg gwybodaeth; nid yw'n glir a yw'n gwbl angenrheidiol ailosod y slab.

A230720: Old College

This application was discussed again as a heritage impact assessment had been made available since the original discussion. However, it was thought that this document did not add enough detail and the Council’s position remains the same; there is no indication of how likely the slab is to fail.

The Council cannot respond due to lack of information; it is unclear whether it is absolutely necessary to replace the slab.

Marchnad ffermwyr: opsiynau rheoli

Roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion wedi paratoi papur gyda thri opsiwn rheoli. Mae'n debyg y byddai eu penderfyniad yn cael ei wneud ym mis Ionawr ar ôl ymgynghori â masnachwyr. Roedd Opsiwn 3 yn ymwneud â mabwysiadu'r farchnad gan y Cyngor Tref (ond yn cael ei chynnal yn ardal yr Hen Dref) a PHENDERFYNWYD cymryd cyfrifoldeb am y farchnad pe bai angen.

Farmers market: management options

Ceredigion County Council had prepared a paper with three management options. Their decision would likely be made in January following consultation with traders. Option 3 involved adoption of the market by the Town Council (but held in the Old Town area) and it was RESOLVED to take on responsibility for the market if necessary.
