Alpine Council Evaluates Dark Sky Compliance Initiatives Before 2026 Deadline

On July 15, 2025, the Alpine City Council convened to discuss pressing community issues, including outdoor lighting compliance, emergency services, and enhancements for the local fire department. A primary focus was the dark sky ordinance aimed at reducing light pollution; while over 90% of city-owned lighting is compliant, many businesses must make necessary adjustments by the July 2026 deadline. Additionally, the council considered establishing a burn house at the wastewater treatment plant for firefighter training, expressing support for revitalizing the existing structure. Discussions also touched on increasing pay rates for seasonal pool lifeguards to attract qualified applicants, alongside broader staffing concerns. These deliberations underscore the council’s commitment to community safety and preserving local resources as they prepare for upcoming budget discussions.
