PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol i fabwysiadu’r Cynllun Dirprwyo

It was unanimously RESOLVED to adopt the Scheme of Delegation.

I’w drafod yn y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol

To be discussed by General Management Committee.

GM Agenda

PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol cymeradwyo’r polisi.

It was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the policy.

PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol cymeradwyo’r polisi. Nodwyd bod hyfforddiant cod ymddygiad yn cael ei gynnal ar gyfer cynghorwyr tref a chymuned Ceredigion am 6pm ddydd Mawrth 11.2.2025; byddai siambr y Cyngor ar agor i aelodau fynychu’r hyfforddiant.

It was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the policy. It was noted that code of conduct training was being held for Ceredigion’s town & community councillors at 6pm on Tuesday 11.2.2025; the Council’s chamber would be open for members to attend the training.

PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol cymeradwyo’r polisi.

Byddai angen prynu nifer o’r baneri ar y polisi newydd ei fabwysiadu. Byddai’r Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands yn cadarnhau’r faner gywir i chwifio ar gyfer diwrnod heddwch rhyngwladol, pe na bai’r Cyngor eisoes yn berchen ar un.

It was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the policy.

A number of the flags on the newly adopted policy would need to be purchased. Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands would confirm the correct flag to fly for international peace day, if the Council did not already own one.

Ceisiwyd cyngor cyfreithiol ynglŷn â’r hawliad. PENDERFYNWYD cychwyn cyfathrebu gyda’r landlord/eu syrfëwr gyda golwg ar gytuno ar amserlen ar gyfer y gwaith.

Legal advice had been sought regarding the claim. It was RESOLVED to open communication with the landlord/their surveyor with a view to agreeing a timetable for the works.

Respond

Roedd angen rhagor o wybodaeth am gostau, gan gynnwys yswiriant, cyn symud ymlaen i brynu cerbyd. I’w drafod eto yn y cyfarfod nesaf.

Further information on costs, including insurance, was needed before proceeding to purchase a vehicle. To be discussed again at next meeting.

Full Council Agenda

Roedd y Maer, y Clerc a’r Rheolwr Cyfleusterau ac Asedau wedi mynychu cyfarfod pellach gyda Chyngor Sir Ceredigion ynghylch dyfodol toiledau cyhoeddus Aberystwyth. Er gwaethaf blwyddyn o drafod i drosglwyddo toiledau’r Castell a Choedlan y Parc i’r Cyngor Tref, roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion bellach wedi hysbysu na fyddai hyn yn bosibl, oherwydd nad oedd ganddynt bolisi trosglwyddo asedau.

Cynigodd y Cyng.Kerry Ferguson ddarparu cymorth ariannol o hyd at £26,500 fel a wnaed ar gyfer 2024-25, ac eiliwyd gan y Cyng. Jeff Smith.

Gofynnwyd am bleidlais wedi’i chofnodi.

Pleidleisiodd yr aelodau a ganlyn o blaid y cynnig:

• Cyng. Kerry Ferguson

• Cyng. Jeff Smith

• Cyng. Glynis Somers

• Cyng. Bryony Davies

• Cyng. Emlyn Jones

• Cyng. Talat Chaudhri

• Cyng. Mair Benjamin

• Cyng. Maldwyn Pryse

Pleidleisiodd yr aelodau a ganlyn yn erbyn y cynnig:

• Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands

Ataliodd yr aelodau canlynol eu pleidlais:

• Cyng. Alun Williams

• Cyng. Mark Strong

• Cyng. Lucy Huws

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi cymorth ariannol o hyd at £26,500 i Gyngor Sir Ceredigion ar gyfer 2025-26 fel y gwnaed yn 2024-25.

Gofynnwyd i’r Cyng. Alun Williams godi siom y Cyngor Tref gyda’r broses hon gyda Chabinet Cyngor Sir Ceredigion a’r pwysau i ddatblygu polisi trosglwyddo asedau fel mater o frys.

The Mayor, Clerk and Facilities & Assets Manager had attended a further meeting with Ceredigion County Council regarding the future of Aberystwyth’s public toilets. Despite a year of negotiation for the Castle & Park Avenue toilets to be transferred to the Town Council, Ceredigion County Council had now informed that this would not be possible, due to them not having an asset transfer policy.

Cllr. Kerry Ferguson proposed to provide funding support of up to £26,500 as had been done for 2024-25, and was seconded by Cllr. Jeff Smith.

A recorded vote was requested.

The following members voted in favour of the motion:

·         Cllr. Kerry Ferguson

·         Cllr. Jeff Smith

·         Cllr. Glynis Somers

·         Cllr. Bryony Davies

·         Cllr. Emlyn Jones

·         Cllr. Talat Chaudhri

·         Cllr. Mair Benjamin

·         Cllr Maldwyn Pryse

The following members voted against the motion:

·         Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands

The following members abstained from voting:

·         Cllr. Alun Williams

·         Cllr. Mark Strong

·         Cllr. Lucy Huws

It was RESOLVED to provide Ceredigion County Council with funding support of up to £26,500 for 2025-26 as had been done in 2024-25.

Cllr. Alun Williams was asked to raise the Town Council’s disappointment with this process with Ceredigion County Council’s Cabinet and pressure for an asset transfer policy to be developed as a matter of urgency.

PENDERFYNWYD mabwysiadu cyllideb gyda phresept o £656,940. Byddai hyn yn cyfateb i Dreth y Cyngor o £156.04 y flwyddyn ar gyfer eiddo Band D.

It was RESOLVED to adopt a budget, with a precept of £656,940. This would equate to a Council Tax of £156.04 per annum for a Band D property.

PENDERFYNWYD gwhardd y wasg a’r cyhoedd

It was RESOLVED to exclude the press and public.

Roedd cyfweliadau ar gyfer y swydd wedi’u cynnal heddiw, a PHENDERFYNWYD cynnig y sefyllfa i’r ymgeisydd a argymhellwyd gan y panel cyfweld.

Interviews for the position had been held today, and it was RESOLVED to offer the position to the candidate recommended by the interview panel.
