Llongyfarchwyd Is-Ganghellor newydd Prifysgol Aberystwyth, yr Athro Jon Timmis.

Congratulations were extended to the new Vice-Chancellor of Aberystwyth University, Prof. Jon Timmis.

Cytunwyd nad oedd angen estyniad ffurfiol i dymor y Maer, gan y gallai’r Maer bob amser gael ei ail-h/ethol am ail dymor.

Nodwyd hefyd bod cynsail wedi ei osod dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf o ethol y Dirprwy Faer yn Faer bob blwyddyn, ond nid oedd hyn yn ofyniad cyfreithiol a gallai cynghorwyr eraill sefyll hefyd.

Etholiad y Maer i ddigwydd cyn gosod y gyllideb.

It was agreed that no formal extension to the mayoral term was needed, as the Mayor could always be re-elected for a second term.

It was also noted that a precedent had been set over recent years of electing the Deputy Mayor as Mayor each year, but this was not a legal requirement and other councillors could also stand.

Mayoral election to take place before budget setting.

Byddai costau’n cael eu darparu i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid. Byddai’r ddau wely yn Y Ro Fawr yn cael eu hychwanegu at y cynllun gan roi gwybod i’r trigolion sydd wedi bod yn plannu’r pamau.

Costs to be provided to the Finance Committee. The two beds on Y Ro Fawr (South Marine Terrace) to be added to the plan and residents who have been planting the beds to be informed.

Roedd ymweliad Maer Yosano yn digwydd ar 9.11.2023. Byddai’r ymweliad yn cynnwys llofnodi ffurfiol i ailgadarnhau’r cyfeillgarwch yn swyddfeydd y Cyngor Tref gyda derbyniad yn yr Amgueddfa i ddilyn. Anogwyd cynghorwyr i fynychu’r ddau achlysur.Nodwyd bod plac yng ngerddi Maes y Frenhines wedi camsillafu Kayo – enw blaenorol Yosano. Byddai costau plac newydd yn cael eu darparu i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid. ARGYMHELLWYD bod y plac yn Gymraeg, Saesneg a Japaneaidd.

The Mayoral visit was taking place on 9.11.2023. It would include a formal signing in the Town Council offices to re-affirm the friendship, followed by a reception at the Museum. Councillors were encouraged to attend both occasions.

It was noted that a plaque in Queen’s Square gardens had a miss-spelling of Kayo – Yosano’s former name. Costs of a new plaque would be provided to the Finanace Committee. It was RECOMMENDED that the plaque should be in Welsh, English and Japanese.

ARGYMHELLWYD bod y Clerc a’r Swyddog Digwyddiadau a Phartneriaethau yn mynychu’r teithiau gefeillio, er mwyn sicrhau dilyniant, gan fod cynghorwyr a meiri yn newid. Byddai’r costau’n cael eu darparu i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid.

It was RECOMMENDED that the Clerk and the Events & Partnerships Officer attend twinning trips, in the interest of continuity and as councillors and mayors change. Costs to be provided to the Finance Committee.

ARGYMHELLWYD darparu gwasanaeth cyfieithu ar y pryd ar gyfer holl gyfarfodydd y Cyngor. Costau i’w darparu i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid.

It was RECOMMENDED that simultaneous translation should be provided for all Council meetings. Costs to be provided to the Finance Committee.

Cynigiwyd y dylai fod yn ofynnol i gynghorwyr ymgymryd â hyfforddiant sy’n berthnasol i’w dyletswyddau cyffredinol fel cynghorwyr ond hefyd i ddyletswyddau penodol yn ymwneud â phwyllgorau megis cyllid a staffio. Dylent hefyd sicrhau fod hyfforddiant perthnasol y tu allan i ddarpariaeth y cyngor yn cael ei nodi ar y cynllun. I’w drafod ymhellach yn y Cyngor Llawn.

It was proposed that councillors should be required to undertake training relevant to both their general duties as councillors but also to specific duties related to commitees such as finance and staffing. They should also ensure that relevant training outside of council provision is noted on the plan. To be discussed further at Full Council.

Full Council Agenda

Ymateb i’w anfon yn ailadrodd cefnogaeth flaenorol y Cyngor Tref.

Fodd bynnag, dylid nodi hefyd bod angen cyllid i ddarparu lefelau staffio digonol. Awgrymwyd bod Cyngor Ceredigion yn gweithio gyda chyrff addysg uwch a hyfforddi athrawon i lobïo Llywodraeth Cymru am arian ychwanegol.

A response to be sent re-iterating the Town Council’s previous support.

However it should also be noted that funding is needed to provide adequate staffing levels. It was suggested that Ceredigion Council work with higher education and teacher training bodies to lobby the Welsh Government for additional funding.

Edrychir ar hwn ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf.

This would be looked at for next year.
