Minutes of the meeting of Full Council held on Monday, 30 January 2023 to confirm accuracy
It was RESOLVED to approve the minutes |
|
206 | Materion yn codi o’r Cofnodion:
193: Costau etholiad. Darparwyd dadansoddiad, a gofynnwyd am y canlynol:
Teimlwyd bod talu hanner costau etholiad Aberystwyth yn annheg gan fod etholiadau’r Cyngor Sir yn ddrytach. Teimlwyd hefyd bod y costau yn ormodol i gynnal etholiadau pellach fel yr anogwyd gan LlC. |
Matters arising from the Minutes:
193: Election costs. A breakdown was provided, and the following was requested:
It was felt that paying half the election costs for Aberystwyth was unfair as county council elections were more expensive. It was also felt that the costs were prohibitive to holding further elections as encouraged by WG.
