State Parks announced the award of a 20-year contract to operate Asilomar on Jan. 27. State Parks spokesman Roy Stearns said DNC’s contract expired in 2008 and requests for bidding proposals were advertised, as required by law. ARAMARK, he said, was the only other bidder on the contract.
Under the new contract, scheduled for signing next month, the concessionaire is required to guarantee the state an annual rental rate of $1.9 million or 8.6 percent of gross receipts, Stearns said, whichever is higher, as well as capital improvements, program support and facility maintenance fees.

Just how local some of those merchants are has been brought into question: Complaints in recent weeks accused some vendors of being from outside Pacific Grove.
“It’s a minor point of contention,” said Bill Valuch, co-owner of Miss Trawick’s Garden Shop and a member of the Business Improvement District advisory board, “but some businesses did not think that was fair.”
As a result, downtown merchants asked the planning commission to establish measurable guidelines to ensure the vendor pool remains local.

The tournament should benefit from the return of the wildly popular Murray, who skipped the tournament last year. The former Saturday Night Live crew member has been a regular fan favorite since he started playing the AT&T in 1992.
Murray will have some company in the laughs department: funnymen George Lopez, Tom Dreesen, Kevin James and Ray Romano are in the field. The music world will be well represented by stars such as Justin Timberlake, Kenny G, Michael Bolton and Clay Walker. And celebrity hounds will have plenty of actors to choose from, including Andy Garcia, Greg Kinnear and Luke Wilson.

Judge Terrance Duncan appointed a psychiatrist to examine Deborah King at the request of her defense attorney, Daniel Clymo. King was to have faced a preliminary hearing Friday. She will return to court Wednesday to receive the doctor’s report.
It is the fourth time King is being evaluated for her ability to aid in her own defense. One doctor found her competent, and another found her incompetent but re-evaluated and agreed that she had been stabilized with medication.
