Delegations 

10.1

Paisley Minor Ball - Fundraising for Ball Diamond Improvements

Paisley Minor Ball gave a presentation to Council. In 2023, Paisley Minor Softball decided to make a comeback after almost a 2-decade hiatus. 

With commitment to yearly growth, they plan to increase enrolment and over time, and see a full range of age groups. The diamond is currently topped with sand. This is not the standard that most teams are playing on today. The sand provides poor drainage, making conditions unfavorable in wet weather. It is difficult to run in, creating a danger injuries. Clay Ball Mix diamonds are the standard for recreational ball. They require less maintenance than the sand and provide good drainage for the diamond, creating a more predictable infield to play on.

Along with a new diamond top, their goal is to raise enough funds for new bleachers, dugouts and a storage shed for equipment and hope to have it ready for ball in 2025.

Recreation Manager Carly Steinhoff noted that she will work with the group and have this included in the 2025 budget deliberations. A report will be brought back to Council to the next available Council meeting.

Council thanked the group for their presentation.

10.2

Paisley Chamber of Commerce

Tammy McFarlane Scapin and Gemma Mendez-Smith spoke to Council regarding the Paisley Chamber of Commerce. They are representing the Paisley Business Community.

They are seeking a resolution between Council, staff, the Paisley Chamber of Commerce and the Arran-Elderslie Business Chamber.  She noted that many businesses suffered losses after Covid.  She felt that Council and staff were trying to dissolve the Paisley District Chamber.

She felt that the Municipality had withdrawn from the Advocate.  Mayor Hammell noted that this was incorrect information. The 2024 municipal advertising budget was depleted and would not be advertising again until the 2025 budget had been completed.

She noted that the Chamber felt there were efforts by Council and staff to dissolve the Paisley Chamber of Commerce.  

She said the Integrity Commissioner recommended attending at a delegation to Council.

At this time, the delegation was warned by the Mayor that their speech was potentially slanderous and they were asked to proceed in a professional manner.  Mayor Hammell also asked if the Chamber was still dormant and when they would be holding elections again for an executive.

10.3

Paisley Advocate

James Colaco and Kevin Kanmacher spoke on behalf of the Paisley Advocate as the president of the Paisley District Chamber of Commerce.

Over the last year they found a new editor.  It is a cost-neutral paper and not-for-profit. They are looking to expand the paper distribution and print volume.

They are asking Council and businesses to support the Advocate.

Kevin Kanmacher noted that the Advocate does not have its own bank account.
