When Stan Farmer, the Horseshoe Bay City Manager, told me that the city wanted to become a Dark-Sky city, I was honored that he would ask for my input, and very happy to help out in any way I could. As a long-time member of the International Dark-Sky Association<\/strong><\/a><\/span> I have always promoted responsible outdoor lighting practices. I believe that any city would do well by adding some reasonable restrictions on outdoor lighting. I\u2019ve also been designing and installing outdoor lighting systems in Horseshoe Bay for about 11 years now, and have participated in efforts to conserve our dark skies in the hill country. The Horseshoe Bay Outdoor\u00a0lighting ordinance<\/strong><\/a><\/span> went into effect on February 17th<\/sup> of this year.<\/p>\n
