After threatening to play hardball in negotiations with former Winnipeg mayor Sam Katz over the renewal of the lease on the Shaw Park site, a council committee has opted to throw a change-up. "We'll start doing some number-crunching and see what makes sense, and whether it works or not," Katz told reporters Monday. Councillors on the property and development committee dramatically moved key city hall negotiating positions: reducing the administration's proposed annual lease rate to $50,000 from $150,000 (based on $10,000 per month on a five-month independent league baseball season) and asking for a 10 per cent share of revenues from two nearby city-owned parking lots (instead of the original position of reclaiming both). The committee instructed the administration to resume negotiations with Katz using the new terms as a starting point, with a status report due in 120 days or sooner, if the situation warrants.
