| Description | Month and day of incorporation unknown.
The City of Portland was formed as a Private Act Charter Municipality. The City Charter provides for the specific powers, duties and responsibilities of the Mayor and Board of 7 Aldermen (City Council members).
Portland's mayor is elected to a 4-year term. Three of the seven city council seats are filled in the same city election as that of mayor; each to 4-year terms. The remaining 4 city council seats are up for election to 4-year terms in the next election cycle. This election method is referred to as 'staggered terms' and was intended to retain experienced people in office at all times.
Meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month in the council room at Portland City Hall located at 100 South Russell Street.
Meetings are open to the public. |
