Cyfrifon Mis Rhagfyr

ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo’r cyfrifon

Nodwyd bod costau Sul y Cofio £325 yn fwy na'r dyraniad cyllidebol. Roedd hyn oherwydd cost rheoli traffig a chau ffyrdd, ac efallai y bydd angen adolygu’r rhain ar gyfer 2024.

December accounts

It was RECOMMENDED that the accounts be approved.

It was noted that Remembrance Sunday costs had exceeded the budget allocation by £325. This was due to the cost of traffic management and road closures, which may need to be reviewed for 2024.

Neuadd Gwenfrewi – adnewyddiad Tŷ’r Offeiriad

Ymweliad safle: Byddai ymweliad safle i Gynghorwyr yn cael ei gynnal ddydd Iau 25 Ionawr rhwng 12:30 a 13:30.

Socedi: Ceisir cyngor ar gynnwys socedi ar gyfer y rhai â nam ar eu golwg gan Age Cymru.

Lloriau: ARGYMHELLWYD bwrw ymlaen ag adnewyddu'r llawr pren presennol, yn hytrach na gosod carped/laminiad, er y byddai hyn yn cael ei asesu ymhellach yn ystod yr ymweliad safle sydd i ddod.

Grantiau: Byddai cais i'r Gronfa Perchnogaeth Gymunedol yn cael ei ohirio tan y ffenestr bidio nesaf er mwyn cyflwyno'r cais gorau posib.

Neuadd Gwenfrewi – Presbytery refurbishment

Site visit: A site visit for Councillors would be held on Thursday 25 January between 12:30 and 13:30.

Sockets: Advice would be sought on including sockets for the visually impaired from Age Cymru.

Flooring: It was RECOMMENDED to proceed with refurbishing the existing wooden floor, rather than fitting carpet/laminate, although this would be assessed further at the upcoming site visit.

Grants: Application to the Community Ownership Fund would be deferred to the next bidding window in order to present the best application possible.

Eitem gaeedig: Canlyniad gohebiaeth gyda Chyngor Sir Ceredigion a'r effaith ar gyllideb 2024-25.

Ni dderbyniwyd ymateb i'r llythyr at Gyngor Sir Ceredigion. Fel y cyfryw, ni fyddai unrhyw newid i'r gyllideb. Byddai datganiad yn cael ei anfon at y Cambrian News ac ymholiadau'n cael eu gwneud gyda Chynghorau Tref eraill yng Ngheredigion.

Closed item: Outcome of correspondence with Ceredigion County Council and effect on 2024-25 budget

No response had been received to the letter to Ceredigion County Council. As such there would be no change to the budget. A statement would be sent to the Cambrian News and enquiries made with other Town Councils in Ceredigion.

Dathliadau 30 mlwyddiant rhwng Kronberg a Porto Recanati

Dosbarthwyd adroddiad gan y Clerc dan Hyfforddiant. Ar y cyngor hwn, ARGYMHELLWYD peidio ag anfon cynrychiolydd, ac yn lle hynny dyrannu £50 i anfon anrheg fach a cherdyn i'r ddwy dref.

30^th Anniversary celebrations between Kronberg & Porto Recanati

A report by the Trainee Clerk was circulated. On this advice, it was RECOMMENDED not to send a representative, and instead allocate £50 to send a small gift and card to both towns.

Aberystwyth EGO

ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo cefnogi'r cylchgrawn am bedwar mis ychwanegol o fis Mawrth i fis Mehefin. Y gost oedd £100 a thaw, a byddai hyn yn cael ei drafod.

Aberystwyth EGO

It was RECOMMENDED to approve supporting the magazine for an additional four months from March to June. The cost was £100 plus vat, which would be negotiated.
