Other Structures/Facilities names after Notable Citizens As outlined in Attachment 2, there are many facilities or structures named after former councilmembers or distinguished San Leandro citizens. Most recently, the City Council elected to name the City Hall South Offices Community Room after former Councilmember Surlene Grant. Other examples of named structures or facilities include: the Maltester-Polvorosa Overpass, Dave Karp Senior Meeting Room, Luster Knight Memorial, Wes McClure Boat Launch Ramp, Mary Brown Room, Estudillo Room and Burrell Field. Each of these facilities or structures was named after an individual who made significant, notable and tangible contributions to the facility in question or to the San Leandro community at large. Analysis Mayor Santos served eight years on the City Council from 1984-1988 and again from 1988 until 1992. He returned to the Council in 2000 and served until 2006 when he was elected Mayor. He served as Mayor from 2006-2010. During his tenure, Mayor Santos was instrumental in a variety of projects and initiatives including the approval of the Senior Community Center that today serves thousands of visitors each year; the construction of the public parking garage on Estudillo Avenue as a means to foster economic development and revitalization in the downtown; and creation of the Kaiser Permanente campus which ultimately brought an underutilized site into productive use, creating approximately 2,600 permanent new jobs.
