In my small city we are a few people interested in night observation. We are pondering about lobbying the city hall to have a "dark night" once a month, maybe something from 1am to 3am, where public lighting would be off. Considering the mayor comes at every smallish local events just to remind people of his name, he may be interested in something that would make a bunch of people praise him for little effort.
