City Officials Preparing Dark Sky Legislation and Sustainability Initiative

Jefferson City is moving forward with plans for a “dark sky” ordinance aimed at regulating outdoor lighting to reduce light pollution and enhance sustainability. During a recent Public Works and Planning Committee meeting, Councilwoman Mackenzie Job presented a draft proposal that emphasizes the use of warmer color temperatures in outdoor lighting, limiting them to a maximum of 2,700 Kelvin. The ordinance would encourage responsible lighting practices to protect both community health and wildlife, particularly birds affected by excessive night lighting. While some council members expressed concerns over enforceability and potential disputes among neighbors, the committee voted 3-1 to allow city staff to collaborate on formalizing the proposal. Additionally, the committee discussed a broader sustainability plan for Jefferson City, aimed at enhancing resilience against natural and human-made disasters and promoting environmentally friendly practices. Funding opportunities for these initiatives may arise from federal grants, which could support the city’s long-term goals for environmental sustainability.
