163 | Materion yn codi o’r Cofnodion:
10. Adroddiad blynyddol drafft PACGA: Cafwyd diweddariad gan y Clerc dan Hyfforddiant, yn dilyn cyngor gan yr PACGA:
• Roedd y taliad o £52 ar gyfer nwyddau traul swyddfa wedi’i eithrio rhag treth. • Roedd y taliad blynyddol o £156 yn gyfraniad tuag at gostau gweithio o gartref, felly nid oedd yn drethadwy. Fodd bynnag, byddai angen i gynghorwyr ddarparu cadarnhad ysgrifenedig o drefniadau gweithio o gartref er mwyn i’r taliad fod yn ddi-dreth. Byddai’r ddogfennaeth yn cael ei llunio ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf. • Byddai’r taliadau gorfodol uchod yn awr yn cael eu gwneud ar ddiwedd pob blwyddyn ariannol, gan ddileu’r angen am bolisi i adennill taliadau oddi wrth gynghorwyr. • Roedd taliadau uwch i gyd yn drethadwy a byddent yn cael eu talu ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn ariannol. Byddai cyngor yn cael ei geisio ar statws treth taliadau uwch. |
Matters arising from the minutes:
10. IRPW draft annual report: An update was provided by the Trainee Clerk, following advice from the IRPW:
· The £52 payment for office consumables was tax exempt. · The £156 annual payment was a contribution towards working from home costs, therefore not taxable. However, councillors would need to provide written confirmation of working from home arrangements for the payment to be tax-free. The documentation would be drawn up for next year. · The above mandatory payments would now be made at the end of each financial year, eliminating the need for a policy to recover payments from councillors. · Senior payments were all taxable and would be paid at the start of the financial year. Advice would be sought on the tax status of senior payments.

Planning applications

167.1 | A230720: Hen Goleg
Trafodwyd y cais hwn eto gan fod asesiad o’r effaith ar dreftadaeth wedi’i ddarparu ers y drafodaeth wreiddiol. Fodd bynnag, credwyd nad oedd y ddogfen hon yn ychwanegu digon o fanylion ac mae safbwynt y Cyngor yn aros yr un fath; nid oes unrhyw arwydd o ba mor debygol yw’r slab o fethu.
Ni all y Cyngor ymateb oherwydd diffyg gwybodaeth; nid yw’n glir a yw’n gwbl angenrheidiol ailosod y slab.
|
A230720: Old College
This application was discussed again as a heritage impact assessment had been made available since the original discussion. However, it was thought that this document did not add enough detail and the Council’s position remains the same; there is no indication of how likely the slab is to fail.
The Council cannot respond due to lack of information; it is unclear whether it is absolutely necessary to replace the slab.

170 | Marchnad ffermwyr: opsiynau rheoli
Roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion wedi paratoi papur gyda thri opsiwn rheoli. Mae’n debyg y byddai eu penderfyniad yn cael ei wneud ym mis Ionawr ar ôl ymgynghori â masnachwyr. Roedd Opsiwn 3 yn ymwneud â mabwysiadu’r farchnad gan y Cyngor Tref (ond yn cael ei chynnal yn ardal yr Hen Dref) a PHENDERFYNWYD cymryd cyfrifoldeb am y farchnad pe bai angen. |
Farmers market: management options
Ceredigion County Council had prepared a paper with three management options. Their decision would likely be made in January following consultation with traders. Option 3 involved adoption of the market by the Town Council (but held in the Old Town area) and it was RESOLVED to take on responsibility for the market if necessary.
