ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo’r cyfrifon

Nodwyd bod arian wrth gefn ar gyfer adfer Neuadd Gwenfrewi (Tŷ’r Offeiriad) ac unrhyw ddiffyg pensiwn yn y dyfodol wedi eu clustnodi. Roedd costau lwfansau Aelodau a Maer wedi’u symud o’r Gyflogres i’r penawdau cyllideb cywir.

It was RECOMMENDED that the accounts be approved.

It was noted that reserves for restoration of Neuadd Gwenfrewi (Presbytery) and any future pension deficit had been earmarked. Member and Mayor allowances costs had been moved from Payroll to the correct budget headings.

Dosbarthwyd cyllideb ddrafft.

•      Cyfieithu: i’w gynyddu i £5,000 ar gyfer darpariaeth cyfieithu ar gyfer cyfarfodydd Pwyllgor

•      Grantiau cymunedol: i’w cynyddu i £25,000

•      Cronfa argyfwng: I’w ostwng i £2,000

·         Celf stryd: i’w ychwanegu fel llinell newydd, gan gynnwys placiau a murluniau, a £3000 i’w ddyrannu.

I’w drafod ymhellach yn y cyfarfod nesaf.

A draft budget was circulated.

·         Translation: to be increased to £5,000 to cover translation provision for Committee meetings

·         Community grants: to be increased to £25,000

·         Emergency fund: To be reduced to £2,000

·         Street art budget heading to be added, to include plaques and murals, and £3000 allocated.

To be discussed further at the next meeting.

Costau ar gyfer gorymdaith fwy a thwmpath i’w darparu erbyn y cyfarfod nesaf.

Costs for a bigger parade and twmpath to be provided by the next meeting.

Nodwyd bod cyllid sylweddol eisoes wedi’i ddarparu i sefydlu presenoldeb yn Aberystwyth. Awgrymwyd Hyb Penparcau fel lleoliad arall a dylid trefnu cyfarfod anffurfiol gyda Chanolfan Fethodistaidd St. Paul ynghylch cost rhentu ystafell.

It was noted that significant funding had already been provided to establish a presence in Aberystwyth. Penparcau Hub was suggested as an alternative venue and an informal meeting to be held with St. Paul’s Methodist Centre regarding cost of room rental.

Amcangyfrifwyd y byddai cyfieithu ar y pryd ar gyfer holl gyfarfodydd y Pwyllgorau yn costio tua £5,000 y flwyddyn. ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo hyn a’i gynnwys yng nghyllideb 2024-25.

It was estimated that simultaneous translation for all Committee meetings would cost around £5,000 per annum. It was RECOMMENDED that this be approved and factored into the 2024-25 budget.

More information to be requested for consideration by Full Council.
