Resolution authorizing City staff to use Illuminating Engineering Society and International Dark Sky Association’s Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) as a guide to draft an ordinance addressing and setting restrictions for light pollution in the City of Council Bluffs.
Background/Discussion

City Council member, Mike Wolf, has requested that light pollution is addressed for the City of Council Bluffs. The timing is appropriate because we have a number of properties being developed or will be developed in the near future in which lighting needs to be taken into consideration. Illuminating Engineering Society and International Dark Sky Association have provided an excellent example for us to use as a guide when drafting our Ordinance to address light pollution and create regulations within City limits.
Recommendation

It is recommended that this Resolution be approved.
