kezar has a bit of a seasonality to it as well. we will pick a time when there is the least impact. not having the schedule in front of me, i do not want to say there is 0 impact, but we are going to keep it minimal. we did not want to disrupt any of the major athletic events we have going on, but there are times when it is just open to events or things that are not program elated to our athletic programs. certainly, if you approve this, we will come back to you a schedule on when it will be undertaken. as i said in the report, once we have got the floor up, and we can see what the scope of the work may be, that will inform the project scope and cost. >> so it will essentially be done with minimal impact? >> yes, that is our commitment. >> thank you. >> i have public comment from a richardfong and andrea

the majority of the tongue and groove floor existing is the original to kezar's construction, circa 1925, with various sections replaced over the years. the floor and replacement sections have been sanded and finished multiple times over the last 86 years. to the point that the original floor board thickness has been reduced to a point where they can no longer sustain any further sanding or refinishing. the original plan for was three- quarters of an inch. through repeated standing and finishing, it is down to reporters. the floor board thickness has also increased its susceptibility to buckling due to humidity and water intrusion. this has also increased the occurrence of floorboard breakage, as basketball or volleyball, or other athletic endeavors play on the surface. that being the problem, our proposed deferred maintenance projects would comprise the following. we would have a complete floor board replacement in stands over the original structural joist so that kezar's floating floor is preserved, which all the players like so much, and we are proud of ourselves. with that project, a

at kezar. a lot of our programming cannot take place, given the size requirements of some of our programs, cannot take place without kezar being there. i do believe we should approve this. it is a stop-gap measure. great deal of work. at least, if we can get the floors redone, we can continue to program. i have a question also related to your update. regarding the question on the downtown fund, would the open space fund have to replenish the downtown fund for any funds drawn? no? so this would be a straightforward withdrawal. in the future, if we could continue to draw from that for any future capital needs. >> to answer your question, the answer is no. on further expansion, i would have to defer to td. -- katie. >> we have been doing cleanup of park projects which created some additional fund balance, which would allow us to make this swap out of the open space contingency reserve into the downtown park fund for this particular project for union square. there is some additional fund balance av

. >> i wanted to touch on a few thoughts, like kezar. maybe we could do just an expediting-type of repair work there. i would not be inclined to tear out the entire floor. if we did something like what they use with ping-pong paddles -- carbon fiber on the inside, would on the outside. -- wood on the outside. i understand the word is getting too thin. but if we had this on top, and then you had the finishing top surface wood on top, it would just be repair. it adds strength and adds bounce. structurally, it is more stable. it is a classic example of how in architecture they use plywood instead of plank wood. we did repair work there that would have that carbon fiber player going across. and on the top, top sheet wood. that could take the abuse of the extensive use in the facility. that was one part. another part of wanted to bring in has to do with the repair work at the chinese playground. i have been tried to get that tennis court done for a long time. it has been patched up, the borders are over elevated from pavement work. i wonder w
