Cyfrifon Mis Mehefin

ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo cyfrifon Mis Mehefin.

Pwyntiau a godwyd:

1. Roedd cyllid grant bellach wedi'i dderbyn a fyddai'n ail-gydbwyso'r gyllideb Digwyddiadau
2. Roedd incwm rhandiroedd yn uchel. Byddai'r rheswm yn cael ei ddarparu yn y Cyngor Llawn
3. Costau ymgynghori: roedd y symud o Peninsula i Work Nest yn ddrytach ond yn rhedeg o fis Mehefin i fis Mehefin.
4. Dathliadau a derbyniadau: Roedd dathliadau Sefydlu'r Maer wedi costio mwy ac roedd mwy o weithgarwch

June accounts

It was RECOMMENDED that the June accounts be approved.

Points raised:

1. Grant funding had now been received which would rebalance the Events budget
2. Allotments income was high. The reason would be provided at Full Council
3. Consultancy charges: the move from Peninsula to Work Nest was more expensive but ran from June to June.
4. Celebrations and receptions: Mayor Making had cost more and there had been increased activity.

Taliadau cynghorwyr 2023-24

Dosbarthwyd adroddiad talu drafft. Roedd y taliadau yn cynnwys:

• £1500 i'r Maer
• £500 i'r Dirprwy Faer
• £500 yr un i Gadeiryddion Pwyllgorau Cynllunio, Cyllid a Staffio
• £156 i bob cynghorydd oni bai ei fod yn cael ei wrthod yn ysgrifenedig.

Amlygodd y Clerc yr anhawster o gael gwybodaeth gan gynghorwyr o dan amgylchiadau megis salwch tymor hir. Os na ddarperir manylion personol ni ellir prosesu'r taliad drwy'r gyflogres.

Byddai cyngor yn cael ei geisio gan Un Llais Cymru.

A draft payment schedule was circulated. Expenditure included:

• £1500 for the Mayor
• £500 for the Deputy Mayor
• £500 each for the Planning, Finance and Staffing Committee Chairs
• £156 for all councillors unless refused in writing.

The Clerk highlighted the difficulty of getting information from councillors under circumstances such as long term ill health. If personal details are not provided the payment cannot be processed through payroll.

Advice would be sought from One Voice Wales.
