This report is for information only, and no action is required. BACKGROUND McGuire and Hester Construction Company, based in Oakland, has constructed many projects in and for the City of San Leandro over the past years. In the summer of 1998, staff was approached by principals of the firm wishing to perform some community service project in the City. Staff of Engineering and Transportation, Community Service, Public Works Services, and McGuire and Hester toured several potential projects including upgrades at the swimming pool at San Leandro High School, repair of tennis courts at Cherry Grove Park, and construction of sand volleyball courts at Marina Park.
