Repair work on the iconic Leisure World globe has halted. Residents of the retirement community are concerned about the globe’s future. The Golden Rain Foundation’s Physical Property Committee will hold a meeting to decide what to do about the globe on Friday, May 8. Golden Rain President Ronde Winkler said the people in charge of repairing the globe were researching what should be done next. She said contractors found more damage than expected. She said she believed the Physical Property Committee would be able to make a decision about the globe after Friday’s meeting.
She said if the required repairs are more than the money budgeted for the rennovation, the issue would then go to the Finance Committee and from there to the Golden Rain Foundation board.Winkler said the project was properly bid and that the bids were opened publicly.
Seal Beach Community Development Director Jim Basham said no permit applications had been submitted for the project, which would be required for electrical or plumbing work.
