Councillor Declan Sammon presented the report.

In response to questions, it was noted that: · Trade unions have been involved in the process throughout and will continue to be included moving forward. · The customer operating model defines the how behind what we do. It provides a framework for aligning strategy, processes, people, technology and governance to set the groundwork for all projects. A workshop is scheduled for October where the model will be expanded on to increase members’ understanding. · The report has been submitted for noting rather than for information because the Portfolio Member wanted every phase to be brought to Full Council for clarity and transparency. Resolved that: · The Transformation Plan (Phase 1) and the Annual Delivery Plan, be noted.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
