Here is another possible strategy (plan F): she talks with her neighbors
about this and stirs them up to approach the city Council as a group. This
may be a very effective strategy, especially if the city Council has agreed
to give the construction company a break on their security lighting by using
the ballpark lights as security lighting for the construction company.

After Richard's and Stan's comments, I guess I need to expand on the
details. Yes, that is an athletic field in that photo, so one might well
expect to see metal halides in use there for improved color rendition.
But according to the complainant, these additional banks were installed to
provide "security" for construction materials (copper wire, etc.) stored in
an area nearby. Presumably, the construction company that is building out
this subdivision figured the lights would be less expensive than truly
secure storage or hiring guards. And yes, I know a municipality can overrule
the county on lighting ordinances. That's what Phoenix did with electronic
billboards. But they cannot overrule the ARS. And ARS 49-7 states that even
at athletic facilities, the lights have to go off between midnight and dawn.
These are on all night, dusk to dawn. -Dan Heim
