8. Special resolution - proposed changes to the Heart of the City constitution
   8.1 That the Heart of the City Business Associations' existing constitution (rules) document (dated 16 December 2015) be replaced with the proposed new constitution (rules) dated 29 August 2022 presented at the Annual General Meeting of the Heart of the City Business Association on 19 October 2022 and that such alterations be effected by replacing the existing constitution document (dated 16 December 2015) with the proposed Heart of the City Business Association constitution (dated 29 August 2022). A copy of the proposed new constitution (dated 29 August 2022) can be viewed here.
   Reason: Amendments of the current constitution (rules) of the Heart of the City Business Association are required to ensure those rules pertaining to the BID programme and BID targeted rate grant are not inconsistent with the Auckland Council Business Improvement District (BID) Policy. Detail can be found in the full agenda, pages 3-5 here.
