Neuadd Gwenfrewi – adnewyddiad Tŷ’r Offeiriad
Socedi: Barnwyd bod pyrth USB mewn socedi yn ddiangen. ARGYMHELLWYD gosod o leiaf un soced ar gyfer y rhai â nam ar eu golwg ym mhob ystafell a gwahodd arbenigwyr hygyrchedd a chynwysoldeb o Gyngor Sir Ceredigion i asesu anghenion yr adeilad.
Llawr: Nid oedd sylfaen i'r llawr yn ystafell gyfarfod 1 ac roedd wedi'i adeiladu ar bridd. Byddai angen gosod sylfaen goncrit newydd, gyda chost amcangyfrifedig o £2,800.21. ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo hyn, gan fod arbedion yn cael eu gwneud mewn mannau eraill.
Ymweliad safle: Roedd ymweliad safle ar gyfer Cynghorwyr yn cael ei drefnu ar gyfer 25 Ionawr 2024. |
Neuadd Gwenfrewi – Presbytery refurbishment
Sockets: USB ports in sockets were deemed unneccesary. It was RECOMMENDED to fit at least one socket for the visually impaired in each room and to invite accessibility and inclusivity experts from Ceredigion County Council to assess the needs of the building.
Floor: The floor in meeting room 1 had no foundation and was built on soil. A new concrete foundation would need to be installed, with an estimated cost of £2,800.21. It was RECOMMENDED that this be approved, as savings were being made elsewhere.
Site visit: A site visit for Councillors was being arranged for 25 January 2024.

Cytunwyd nad oedd angen pwyllgor neu grwp gwaith ar wahân, gan fod croeso i bob Cynghorydd gysylltu â’r swyddfa i roi mewnbwn, syniadau neu ofyn am wybodaeth.
Sicrhawyd cyllid grant i ddarparu rhaglen ehangach o ddigwyddiadau ar gyfer y flwyddyn. Byddai'r Swyddog Digwyddiadau a Phartneriaethau yn dosbarthu rhestr o ddigwyddiadau cynlluniedig ar gyfer mewnbwn gan Gynghorwyr.

Councillor involvement in event organisation
It was agreed that a separate committee or working group was not necessary, as all Councillors are welcome to contact the office to give input, ideas or request information.
Grant funding had been secured to provide an expanded programme of events for the year. The Events and Partnerships Officer would circulate a list of planned events for Councillor input. |
