The Peaks Island Council was established by the City Council of
 Portland, Maine on July 17, 2007. In the words of the City Council
 resolution:
 Whereas, the city is composed of many distinct neighborhoods
 and several offshore island communities that require appropriate
 and effective mechanisms to bring their local issues to the
 attention of the city council for review and action; and
 Whereas, the city’s island communities face issues that differ
 from those of its mainland neighborhoods; and
 Whereas
, Peaks Island is the largest of the city’s islands and
 has substantially more year round residents than the other city
 islands; and
 Whereas, Peaks Island’s distinctive issues and its relatively
 large population have led to the need for an elected body of
 representatives that will work closely with the city council to
 address island issues; and
 Whereas, the city wishes to assist the residents of Peaks Island
 in setting up a structure which will provide a stronger voice on
 island issues and in city affairs for its residents;


 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY
 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORTLAND, MAINE IN CITY
 COUNCIL ASSEMBLED AS FOLLOWS:


 That  Article IV, Chapter 9 of the Portland City Code is hereby
 enacted.
