Capital projects
Lakewood's capital total is a sum the city's budget book does not print
The capital plan prints a total for each of its funds and none across them, so this total is ours and is labeled as ours. It is capital only, and the later years of the plan are forecasts, not appropriations.
Capital appropriations, all plan funds

CY 2026 · City of Lakewood, Department of Finance
Exactly $76,102,156
The 10 funds of the Capital Improvement and Preservation Plan, added: Capital Improvement Fund $24,003,304 + Conservation Trust Fund $2,145,000 + Open Space Fund $943,000 + Equipment Replacement Fund $5,350,000 + Golf Course Enterprise Fund $8,221,546 + Sewer Enterprise Fund $1,830,000 + Stormwater Enterprise $9,145,000 + Water Enterprise $0 + TABOR Fund $15,308,872 + GRANT Fund $9,155,434 = $76,102,156. Each fund total is the city's own printed figure, and every category under it reconciles to the subtotal the city printed, on all six columns; the chapter is read a second time against its own project detail sheets in both directions. THE BOOK PRINTS NO TOTAL ACROSS THE FUNDS — this sum appears nowhere in it, which is why the figure is labeled CALC wherever it is shown. ONLY THE 2026 COLUMN IS AN APPROPRIATION: the chapter's own preamble says the 2027-2030 figures "are forecasts and will not be appropriated until subsequent budgets", and the 2025 Revised column is a third quantity again (2024 carryforwards plus the 2025 original budget plus 2025 adjustments). 2026 Adopted Budget book, adopted by ordinance O-2025-32 (first reading October 6, 2025; finally passed October 20, 2025). THE STAGE IS READ OFF THE ORDINANCE, NOT THE TOTAL: the book states that no appropriation changed between the proposed and adopted budgets, so the two stages print identical figures and only the document's own cover and enactment record identify this as the adopted one.
