Impact:
Compliance with BCC law. This allows the Board to continue to service the residents of AJRCCC and their families
by supporting their needs, services, safety, and addressing concerns in a timely manner.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Meet and greet with AJRCCC Residents
Impact:
Allow the residents to meet the board members and allow board members to get to know some of the

QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Have AJRCCC bylaws reviewed by LRO and approved by the Business Committee

Accomplishments

Public Packet

11 of 128

Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
ONAB discussed bylaws, specifically, stipend issue. Consensus was not reached, the board remains non stipend.

Impact:
Following the consensus rules of talking the issue out until everyone can peacefully agree/disagree, consensus was
not reached. For stipend: it will help get people on the board. For remaining non stipend: ONAB has 25 year
precedents of no stipend; it would be difficult to validate in relation to overall effort and impact; difficult to justify
stipend for this board when community groups such as the Basket Guild and Woodland Indian Arts board members
also volunteer.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
ONAB members hosted and attended Creative Placemaking at the Radisson Conference Center.
Impact:
ONAB members were able to participate and interact with community artists, art supporters, tribal
departments, and invited guests in learning about, talking about, and thinking about creative placemaking in
Oneida.

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long‐term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected

Oneida Business Committee Agenda Request

6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
I, Dylan Benton, am requesting a deferral of the Oneida Community Library Board 2nd Quarterly Report to
6/12/19. while on travel on behalf of OTEC from 5/8/19 to 5/10/19 I discovered that one of my young step-sons
had damaged my laptop and decide to hide it instead of letting me or their mother know. While the graphical
user interface is still usable, due to the location of the damage on the screen I've been guessing where to click
correctly and often have to restart the computer due to the screen freezing entirely. Moving the needed files
from my hard drive to the cloud has been more arduous than I expected and has caused the delay in reporting.
With the Board being understaffed as long as it has and the considerable amount of turnover I've seen in my
tenure I've become accustomed to doing all the reporting myself, however, with the addition of Cheryl Aliskwet
Ellis from Board/Committees/Commissions to aid our board; minutes, agenda and soon, materials will now be
held and backed up digitally in the hands of dedicated staff ensure that data access will be a one time issue with
a permanent solution already in place. I look forward to assisting in the digitization and preservation of Library
Board files in the future and am holding paper files at the Main Library that go back to the 90's in hopes that they
will be digitized in the near future for historical record when the BCC dept is prepared to take on the task which
was previously an S. Webster goal before his departure. I assume all responsibility for the lapse in reporting.

1) Save a copy of this form for your records.
2) Print this form as a *.pdf OR print and scan this form in as *.pdf.
3) E-mail this form and all supporting materials in a SINGLE *.pdf file to: BC_Agenda_Requests@oneidanation.org

Accomplishments
Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Lloyd brought in a group that he works with to do some professional development with the board members on March
27 at SEOTS.

Impact:
It is an act of Effectiveness and Efficiency for our board members to use the resources and connections that we have
and bring them in to use for SEOTS benefit. This was a free session, although there was an offer for purchasing
seminars afterwards, the board voted against sending anyone to the seminars. We would like to find training specific
to strategic planning and organizing direction as a board.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
We are closer to finishing our bylaws. We have been working through these, going back and forth with the LOC. This
took up the time for one of our meetings to update the corrections they sent back and trying to figure out the
language we are required to use. Our board created an email and a way to share documents on OneDrive before we
were given new emails, but all of our members have established their Oneida emails now.

Impact:
This is abiding by the Good Governance Practice of the Rule of Law. Our members are still new to being on a
board, so we had to learn the rules and then apply them with restructuring our bylaws. We also had to enforce
these laws by removing a member from the board for inactivity and inability to meet the bylaw requirements.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
Planning a meet and greet to invite and encourage Oneidas in Milwaukee to get involved with meetings and give
feedback on needs and opinions of SEOTS so we can constructively improve SEOTS services.
Impact:
We would like to use Kahootit, an online game that allows for participants to use the privacy of their smart phone to
answer questions that we would create. There would be raffle incentives to fill out the surveys. This is one way we
would like to collect information. This is practicing the Good Governance Practice of being Consensus Oriented,
finding ways to get the best interest of Oneida Tribal members in Milwaukee.

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long-term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected
quarterly activities.
LONG-TERM GOAL #1
Make connection to Oneida services for the Oneidas that reside in SEOTS service area.
This goal is addressing the Good Governance Principle of Responsiveness to Oneida Tribal members’ needs.
Update on Goal:
We would like to see Oneidas in Milwaukee having more access to the Oneida Market products currently being sold
at SEOTS. We would like to see these products having the option for card payment, an option to use Oneida Market
cards, and inquire about the possibility of using food stamp cards like at the Oneida Market. We will also think of
creative ways that we can promote to Oneidas in Milwaukee and other Native Americans about the traditional
products that we have to offer from the Oneida Market. Not many people in the community are aware of this.
LONG-TERM GOAL #2
Make connections for SEOTS to utilize Milwaukee services.
This is practicing the Good Governance Principle of Effectiveness and Efficiency, by utilizing resources in the
Milwaukee community that our Oneida Tribal members are eligible for.
Update on Goal:
Each member brings different backgrounds to the table from various Milwaukee organizations that they work with.
Future meetings will be devoted to brainstorming on how we can connect these organizations to SEOTS and Oneida
Tribal members.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Find ways that we can reach Oneidas in Milwaukee to engage them in SEOTS services and activities.
Using the Good Governance Principle of Transparency, creating open communication and ensuring access to
information.
Update on Goal:
We have met with Brooke Doxtator and our clerk, Aliskwet Ellis on May 13. We will be posting our meeting minutes
to the space on the Oneida website we have now, and we will be adding the link to this page on our Facebook. Also,
we are planning on having a meet and greet booth at the SEOTS summer picnic, we are still working through the
plans. We will be letting our BC Liaisons know as soon as these plans are set.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Plan other board events that will make connections to Oneida Nation and other Milwaukee organizations.

We are practicing the Good Governance Practice of Responsiveness, reacting to the needs and opinions of
Oneidas in Milwaukee.

Public Packet

47 of 128

Update on Goal:
We have talked with Sarah Deida, the Program Coordinator of SEOTS, on how we can collaborate on planning classes
and services offered next year. We know that Jamie Betters is willing to come to Milwaukee to offer programming on
the Cannery and we would like to inquire about working with the history department to create access to genealogy
workshops that they offer. We will be gathering information from Oneida Tribal members at our Meet and Greet
about specific needs and plan in future meetings how we can meet those.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Meet and Greet with the community scheduled for July, this will be in combination with the SEOTS annual picnic.
Other activities include volunteering for SEOTS events, attending Oneida language classes, finding trainings to
enhance skills and planning more board events that support Oneidas in southeastern WI.

Update on Activities:
Continual planning at monthly meetings.

Budget
Please provide the amount of the entity’s budget, the status of the budget at that quarter, the amount of
each stipend a member may be eligible to receive, how the budget is being utilized by the entity and

SEOTS Director, Mark Powless
SEOTS Mission:
Our mission is strengthening our cultural connection and providing services and programs to enhance
the wellbeing of On^yote?a-ka in southeastern Wisconsin.
Summary:
During the second quarter of FY2019, there were 1,175 visits to SEOTS. Of those visits, 432 were
unduplicated. SEOTS has been focusing on building programming around mental health, obesity, and cultural
competency. A quarterly effort is also being made to increase awareness of programs and services available to
Oneida Tribal members residing in southeast Wisconsin, through direct mail.
The enrolled Oneida population of southeast Wisconsin is 2,159 based on the January 2019 report from
the Oneida Trust and Enrollment Department.
Staff Training:
SEOTS staff members Mark W. Powless (SEOTS Manager) and Sara Deida (Community Programs
Coordinator) attend Mental Health First Training on February 8 and 15. The 8 hour training was provided
by SEOTS and included 17 community members. The training focused on education around mental
health and how to address individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Mark W. Powless and

Public Packet
Sara Deida also enrolled in Oneida O’cademy.
Collaborations:
Elder Talking Circles – Tuesday, January 22 – Tuesday, February 19: This collaboration with HIR Wellness
Center offered group counseling to survivors of cancer. Various topics were discussed and individual
counseling was available upon request for the 8 participants.
Mental Health Programming – Ongoing: SEOTS is now in collaboration with University of Wisconsin –
Madison TRIUMPH Program. SEOTS is the placement site for a second-year med student. The student,
Joe Archer, will focus on assisting with SEOTS to build programming around mental health education and
prevention. This is a 2 year relationship.
Strategic Goal:
“Implement an awareness strategy to educate the Oneida community of southeast Wisconsin on four
critical issues through quarterly programming, direct mail, and social media.”
As a result of community surveys, SEOTS has identified three critical issues within the Oneida
community of southeast Wisconsin to build awareness around during FY 2019. The three critical areas
are obesity, depression, and cultural competency.
SEOTS cultural programming consisted of three Culture Classes (32 attendees), a trip to the Field
Museum to view the Oneida wampum belt (23 attendees), and eighteen language classes (20
attendees).
In addition, SEOTS offered an 8 hour Mental Health First Aid Training to community members in
February. Seventeen community members attended. The goal of the training was to empower staff and
community members to better understand mental health and assist those in crisis.
SEOTS also utilizes Facebook for community education, the number of likes of the SEOTS page has
increased from 1,795 to 1,855 during the second quarter. Posting to the page occurs regularly.

Accomplishments
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:

Submitted on draft of the bylaws to the LRO for review

Impact:
Supports S.M.A.R.T. Goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Since the majority of the content of the bylaws were embedded within the School Board Policies and Procedures, this
will allow the Board to revise the format the School Board Policies and Procedures for easier review/revision going
forward.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:

Approved the 2019‐2020 school calendar and employee contracts

Impact:
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.b., “Customers for the School Board would include the students, school
personnel, parents and community…”
Timely approval of the school calendar and employee contracts ensure adequate time for planning for the upcoming
school year.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:

Requested amendment to BC resolution # 09‐26‐18‐D for the ONSB HR responsibilities

Impact:
Support S.M.A.R.T. Goal #3, Develop an ongoing positive working relationship with the Business Committee.
BC resolution # 09‐26‐18‐D did not authorize stipends to the ONSB for the HR duties required by the 1988 MOA. The
ONSB took action in March to request amendments to the resolution.

Goals
LONG‐TERM GOAL #1
Increase the communication to not only students but to the community, as well.
Supports Strategic Perspectives/Objectives 9.c. “Internal processes include the communication with parents for
upcoming events on the Facebook page. The website is being updated to be more customer friendly. The NASIS
parent portal will be utilized more by parents with training at OPEN HOUSE and also with requests from parents
for an account.”
Update on Goal:
Unchanged from last report ‐ The Oneida Nation School System has been utilizing Facebook, the school’s voice
messaging system, school flyers, parent emails, and school marquee. Many teachers utilize a classroom management
tool called Class Dojo to retain consistent communication with families. This application allows teachers to quickly
send messages to parents/guardians.

Public Packet

69 of 128

LONG‐TERM GOAL #2
Establish quarterly community/school meetings or input mechanism
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.d., “…School Board will continue working with Administration on
policy development and seeking community input by holding community meetings.”
Update on Goal:
Unchanged from last report – Last year, the School Board discussed having quarterly community / school meetings to
invite parents/guardians and community members to have less formal meetings to communicate the needs of the
school and parents/guardians.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Finalize the bylaws
Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Update on Goal:
Draft was submitted to LRO for review in January; currently waiting to receive the LRO review.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Clarify role in hiring per the 1983 MOA

Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #2, “Participate in training necessary to conduct the duties involved”
Update on Goal:
The Board requested, the ONSB attorney, a review of the standard practice among tribal school boards with regard to
the school board’s participation in the hiring of teachers. If this a standard practice among tribal schools, why it is (or
conversely, why it isn’t)? Also, information on the recommended process if the Board chose to revise/amend the
MOA with the OBC.

Accomplishments
Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Successfully processed the Supplemental FY-2018 Per Capita Distribution.

Impact:
A Per Capita Distribution is one of the most notable functions of the Trust Enrollment Department. The annual adult
distribution happens twice a year and consume most of staffs focus during these times. Therefore, a successful
distribution will always be considered a departmental accomplishment.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Revisions were made to the Minors Trust Distribution forms and processes. The revisions will provide beneficiaries
more control in their deferral and voluntary tax withholding options.

Impact:
Minor Trust Distributions have become a particular area of interest due to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Giving the Minor Trust beneficiaries more control on the claim allows them to create a distribution that better
fits their personal finances. Revising the forms and processes required considerable review from staff, fund
accountant, and attorney on retainer with the Oneida Nation.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
Community awareness and input towards future enrollment criteria has notably increased.
Impact:
With increased dialogue through community meetings and social media, we are beginning to hear common themes
and attitudes towards Oneida belonging, identity, and citizenship.

Goals

Public Packet

79 of 128

Please provide details of the entity’s long-term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected
quarterly activities.
LONG-TERM GOAL #1
To gain an understanding of the membership’s preference on alternative enrollment criteria.
By documenting majority of the membership’s preferences, we may be able to achieve a consensus on
sustainable enrollment criteria.

Update on Goal:
Community meetings and social media conversations have continued. Community meetings have focused on
enrollment data, identity, belonging and the process to amend the Oneida Nation’s Constitution. Social media
conversations have explored thoughts from the community mixed with enrollment data. The Project Specialist is
reaching out to a wider audience including S.E.O.T.S. and high schoolers via the Y.E.S. program.
LONG-TERM GOAL #2
Establish a communication plan to engage the community on Sustain Oneida efforts which may result in policy
changes that affects membership enrollment applications, per capita distributions, and other services provided
by the Trust Enrollment Department.
Establishing an effective communication plan will make the membership aware of relevant policy changes that
may affect their lives, create positive relations with the Trust Enrollment Department, and hopefully inspire the
membership to think critically of their Oneida identity.

Update on Goal:
Aside from social media posts, mailers, and articles in the Kalihwisaks, the Trust Enrollment Department is trying to
reach the community through other Oneida entities. The department has hosted community discussion about
Enrollment at the Community Education Center, S.E.O.T.S., Y.E.S., and several high schools. The Department is also
using these channels to make the community aware of the Minors Trust deadlines, processes and tax implications.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Establish a communication plan to solicit community input on the Disability Fund.
Establishing an effective communication plan will make the membership aware of relevant policy changes that
may affect their lives, create positive relations with the Trust Enrollment Department, and hopefully inspire the
membership to think critically of the Nation’s resources.
Update on Goal:
One post was made on the Trust Enrollment Department’s Facebook page soliciting input for the Disability Fund with
minimal response. An article for the Kalihwisaks has been drafted soliciting input for the Disability Fund. The tentative
publishing date in the Kalihwisaks is May 2, 2019. Depending on responses to social media and Kalihwisaks,
community meetings is also a possibility.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2

Public Packet

80 of 128

Establish an agenda and materials for a proposed Special GTC Meeting focusing on Sustain Oneida and Demographer
results.

The demographer’s analysis is crucial for the membership to understand the population trends and the state of
the Nation’s citizenship.
Update on Goal:
The demographer has shared preliminary results with the Trust Enrollment Committee for initial feedback. The next
step will be to share with the Oneida Business Committee for further feedback and to help establish the talking points
for a potential Special GTC meeting.
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Aside from regular working duties, this next quarter will consist of processing Per Capita and Minors Trust forms,
hosting community meetings on Sustain Oneida and Minors Trust fund processes and working with the Demographer
to finalize preliminary data.

Update on Activities:
FY2019 Per capita forms are currently under legal review as is standard practice. Projected mailout is to take place in
May 2019.

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2019

Oneida ESC Group, LLC (OESC), was formed in 2012 as a holding company to house
subsidiaries to do business with the federal government. OESC has four subsidiaries, Oneida
Total Integrated Enterprises (OTIE), Mission Support Services (MS2), Sustainment and
Restoration Services (SRS) and Oneida Engineering Solutions (OES).

OESC’s subsidiaries are supported by OESC with general management and administrative
functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resource management, IT
support, overall management, and marketing, bid and proposal. Below is a summary of OESC
and its subsidiary’s activities.
Narrative Report
a. Explanation of the core of the Corporation’s business practices and market overview
OESC’s subsidiary limited liability companies focus on contracts issued by the government
agencies for engineering, science and construction work. OESC’s revenue is derived from
the subsidiaries that operate in the full and open market as well as the Small Business
Administration Business Development Markets primarily as 8(a) and Small Business
designated companies.
OESC and its subsidiaries are a highly technical organization providing research
/investigation, design, engineering and project management. Oneida ESC Group operates in

design/implementation, remedial designs/remedial actions, including characterization,
assessment, and cleanup, Wetlands assessment and wetlands restoration design, Brownfields

facilities Engineering design for wastewater treatment and sewerage systems.
Oneida Engineering Solutions (OES) – OES focuses on performing transportation
engineering services for governmental agencies (Federal, State and Local). Work is federally
funded and abides by the Brooks Act; requiring selection based on competency,
qualifications and experience. OES has been certified as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise
in the State of Wisconsin.
b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market
OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of
Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms provide similar services offered by
OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance reputation, network, price,
geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel (flexibility).
Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are
OESC customers.
c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the
market
OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts and
networks OTIE established since 2008.
We constantly evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and
State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary
NAIC codes that overlap with the sister companies.
d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and
identification of key competitors within the market
Our competitors include: Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native
American Owned, tribally-owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations
(NHOs). Each of these businesses is in a category of small business that may be awarded
prime contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other
8(a) firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as
Woman-Owned, HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others.
Finally, Oneida ESC competes in the full and open markets without restrictions.
Typical competitors for OTIE include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees
in NAICS 562910. Another area of significant competition is the regional Transportation
Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).

e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of
business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.

The government shutdown impact has been mostly in delayed revenue. About 80% of our
revenue comes from federal customers. EPA and some of the environmental DOD has been
impacted due to the delays.
f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made
towards accomplishment of the same
Goals for Oneida ESC Group
Growth at a reasonable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for
OESC is when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission priorities.
Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:
Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, SRS and OES have
successful past performance; and where personnel involved in such projects have established
strong relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge
based on combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to
include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army),
Environmental Protection Agency, WI Department of Transportation, Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewer District and the Oneida Nation.
New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities
geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.
g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks, resources
and relations available and needed in order to successfully fulfill outlined strategies
Key elements for success in the OESC model include:
• Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff
utilization, backlog and capacity.
• Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and
reconfigure based on identified needs to delivery strategic growth.
• Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.
• Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.
Risk in the marketplace
• We operate in highly competitive industries
• Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards
by government agencies could adversely affect us
• International operations carries additional risk
• Loss of key personnel
• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.

h. Identification of medium (two to five year) and long (greater than five year) prospects
and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies and risks
Our medium and long range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business
diversification and consistent project management delivery.

We have successfully groomed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for
services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable
strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.
Medium-term prospects
OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in
engineering, science and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and
geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on
business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.
Long-term prospects
OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble
and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.
Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to
adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate
marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for
existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms
that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.
i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying
sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of
business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)
The first and second quarters are typically the slowest periods. We use this time to meet with
clients and prospect for new opportunities, respond to Sources Sought inquiries and other
proposal work.

k. Summary and status of any pending legal action to which the Corporation is a party
and any relevant government regulation to which the Corporation may be subject.
On September 20, 2018 Mission Support Services filed an arbitration demand against its JV
partner, Belonger Corporation. Belonger failed to provide funds to the JV sufficient to pay its
share of the JV loss on the Building 3200 project. This failure is causing MS2 to fund
Belonger’s share of the loss. Our position is that the losses are at the JV level and should be
shared by the 51%/49% split. Unfortunately, the Arbitrator has ruled that the losses are at the
member level, meaning each member is responsible for the losses incurred by the member.
We are reviewing next steps.

Purpose

To ensure that the Land Use Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Vision Oneida Plan, Housing Plan, all
economic development efforts and land use recommendations are working in coordination with each
other to improve the Oneida Tribal community and operations.
Meetings
The CDPC meets every 1st Thursday of the month at 9 a.m. in the Business Committee Conference
Room at the Norbert Hill Center.
Activities Summary
For the 2nd quarter of FY19, three regular CDPC meetings were held in January, February, and March.
Two CDPC work sessions were also held, one in January and one February.
Highlights
200 Year Celebration
A team has begun reporting to the CDPC on their progress for the 200-year celebration scheduled for
2023. The team will be submitting a charter to the CDPC for approval. For the remainder of this year
the team will be focusing on creating a communication plan that involves community input.
Both the Cultural Heritage Site improvements and the 200-year celebration fall in line with the broad
goals of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging
Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us).
Industrial Hemp
A cross-functional Industrial Hemp team presented an implementation plan report to the CDPC in
March. Sub-teams are working on product, outreach, research, and processing. Components of the
implementation plan include summaries and next steps for permits, partnerships, planting, harvesting,
processing, and testing.
In March, a draft hemp resolution was discussed and referred to the next BC Work session.

An industrial hemp pilot project falls in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for
Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything
here to sustain us).
Oneida Wellness Initiative
The initial request for this project was to provide a centrally located multi-purpose health, fitness, and
recreation complex to support the recreational needs of the Oneida Community. Through a series of
discussions, the CDPC determined the focus should first be on whether or not current facilities and
programs could meet the needs of the community or if a physical new complex is needed. This quarter,
the BC approved the concept paper that was previously reviewed and approved by the CDPC.
The community outreach on the project falls in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic
Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and the overall project is in line with the broad goals
of Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us) and Inspiring
Yukwatsistay^a (Our fire, our spirit within each of us).
Food Innovation Center
Through a grant, a feasibility study done on what a food center and food hub could look like for Oneida.
A Food Innovation Center is an expanded facility to teach how to process and prepare healthy and
native food and would serve Oneida Nation members, fresh food producers, entrepreneurs, and those
looking for jobs in the food service industry. A presentation on the completed feasibility study was given
to the CDPC in January. In March, the CDPC approved the Food Innovation Center as a concept and
deferred to a BC Work Session for further discussion.
A centralized food center falls in line with Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to
sustain us).
Energy Team
Last quarter, the CDPC supported a climate change resolution brought forward by the Energy Team.
The resolution titled “Oneida Nation, Recognizing Climate Change as a long-term threat to Our Core
Values” supports/adopts the Paris agreement, supports the creation of an Oneida Climate Change
Team to develop a strategic climate plan, and supports the adoption of policies to achieve the strategic
energy and climate plans. This resolution was adopted by the Business Committee on January 9, 2019.
The CDPC also reviewed a Memorandum of Understanding for carbon credits with the National Indian
Carbon Coalition (NICC). The Business Committee approved the MOU on March 27, 2019.

and authorized use of the official Oneida Nation

On 11/14/17 GTC directed the OBC to establish a
legal office consisting of advocates and an
advising attorney for GTC. This law provides the
framework for the office.
Extended the length of a rental agreement for
tenants in the rent to own program.
This rule creates enrollment procedures for
carrying out the responsibility delegated to the
Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee in the
Membership Ordinance.
This Rule Handbook provides guidance on how the
Community Support Fund is used so that the
Nation can assist the greatest number of
members of the Nation who apply for assistance
to the Fund in times of a catastrophic event,
illness, injury, or emergency event when no other
resources for assistance exist.
This rule creates a process by which the Oneida
Nation may void the membership of a tribal
member who no longer qualifies for enrollment
pursuant to the Membership Ordinance under
limited circumstances.
This rule sets the licensing, fees, and penalties for
the Domestic Animal Law.
The federal HEARTH Act enables tribes to approve
individual surface leases for their own trust lands‐

the Interior. This law was adopted on 10/26/16
and became effective on 05/19/18.
This rule codified the existing standard operating
procedure regarding agriculture leases, allowing

the Nation to lease agricultural land in the best
interest of the Nation.
This rule codified the existing standard operating
procedure regarding commercial leases, allowing
the Nation to lease in a manner that is fair and
equitable for tribal fee and trust lands that are
used for commercial purposes.
This rule created a procedure for individuals to
apply for services from the Legal Resource Center.
This rule expands upon the information provided
on the Leasing Law regarding eligibility,
administration, inheritability, and enforcement
related to residential leases.
The Comprehensive Policy Governing Boards,
Committees, and Commissions was updated
regarding; creation, application, vacancies,
appointments, oaths, reporting, stipends,
dissolution, enforcement, and was retitled.
The amendments were revised to be an
emergency due to action taken through resolution
BC‐04‐11‐18‐A by the Oneida Business Committee
(OBC) which dissolved the Personnel Commission
and directed the Legislative Operating Committee
(LOC) to develop and present emergency
legislative amendments to fully address the
impact of this resolution by the April 25, 2018,
Oneida Business Committee meeting for
consideration.
On August 27, 2018, the GTC motioned to rescind
the actions of the Oneida Business Committee
related to the dissolution of the Oneida Personnel
Commission, and to rescind the amendments
related to the Blue Book from April 11, 2018 to
today. Oneida Business Committee then adopted
resolution BC‐09‐26‐18‐F which formally repealed
the emergency amendments to the Employee
Protection Policy.

Legislative Operating Committee Second Quarter Highlights
Sanctions & Penalties Law Outreach‐ Video
This law would provide a process to sanction or penalize
appointed and elected officials, including the Oneida Business
Committee. Currently, the only way to hold an official
accountable is by removal or termination of appointment. Not
all misconduct warrants removal or termination. Sanctions and
penalties could include public apology, suspension, loss of
stipends, monetary fines, etc.
The LOC produced a video to be posted on Facebook leading
up to the February 24, 2019 General Tribal Council Meeting.
That meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather and
rescheduled for March 17, 2019. As of March 27, 2019, the
video was viewed 3,917 times.
At the March 17, 2019 GTC meeting, the GTC voted to “defer this
Item for at least sixty (60) days for the GTC to have additional
time to consider it and have input”. The LOC is planning more
outreach opportunities for this legislation and will bring it
back to a GTC meeting as soon as there is an opportunity. The
LOC has held a Community Pot Luck and a public meeting for
this legislation already. We hope that more people will participate
before it comes back to the GTC.

Curfew Law Outreach‐ Oneida Nation High School and Community Pot Luck
The LOC is working on a Curfew Law for Oneida.
This effort is a result of the LOC’s work with the
Tribal Action Plan Team. Curfew laws can be used
to protect youth from victimization and prevent
juvenile crimes and delinquency by reducing or
preventing exposure of youth to negative
situations by restricting their access to public
places at night.
The LOC is taking this opportunity to collaborate
with the Oneida Nation High School (ONHS)
students. On March 13, 2019 staff from the

Legislative Operating Committee FY19 Second Quarter Report

April 2019

Legislative Reference Office met with the ONHS Clan Council to discuss their thoughts and
ideas regarding a Curfew law. The Clan Council is supportive of the idea and shared several
ideas with the work team. The LOC will consider the student’s ideas in upcoming work
meetings. The Clan Council will be invited to participate in the entire legislative process, until
the Curfew Law is ready to be considered for adoption by the OBC.

March 21, 2019
The LOC hosted a community pot luck to discuss a
Curfew Law. While the community expressed interest
in the event, no one attended the meeting. This
highlights how collecting public comment is difficult.

The LOC hosted a community pot luck to discuss a
Curfew law on March 21, 2019. Unfortunately, no one
attended the meeting, so there was no discussion.
This is the first of four community pot lucks that the
LOC has held, without attendance. The average
number of people that attend these events is 14. The
LOC will continue to explore new ways for the
community to participate in the legislative process. If
you have comments regarding a Curfew Law, please
contact a member of the LOC to share your thoughts.

Legislative Operating Committee’s FY19 Third Quarter Plans
1. Bylaws Amendments‐ The newly amended Boards, Committees, and Commissions law
requires all the Nation’s seventeen boards, committees, and commissions to amend
their bylaws to comply with the law. This project began in October 2018 and the LOC is
focused on completing it as soon as possible.
2. Election law Amendments‐ In 2018, the GTC directed that the Election law come back to
the GTC with suggested amendments. In January 2019, this item was deferred to a
future GTC Meeting. The LOC hopes to place these amendments on an upcoming GTC
agenda so that the GTC can consider their adoption.
3. Sanctions & Penalties law‐ This law is designed to provide a process for members of the
Business Committee, and other boards, committees, and commissions to face sanctions
or penalties for misconduct. Currently, the only penalty for misconduct is removal or
termination from office. On March 17, 2019 at a special GTC Meeting, the GTC adopted
a motion to defer the item “for at least sixty (60) days for the GTC to have additional
time to consider it and have input”. Based on this action, the LOC will be host and
provide additional community outreach efforts once this item is assigned to a GTC
agenda.
4. Domestic Animals Law Amendments‐ The LOC will forward these amendments to the
Oneida Business Committee for consideration in the third quarter. Amendments include
updating the law with regard to violations, enforcement, appeals, hearing procedures,
citations, and dangerous dogs.

5. Legislative Strategy for Remainder of the 2017‐2020 Term‐ On April 11, 2019, the LOC
will review all the items on the active files list and decide what the most important
priorities are, and the LOC will continue discussing a strategy for finishing them before
July 2020.
6. Public Meeting Format‐ So far this term, the public meeting attendance rates have not
increased from the 2014‐2017 term. The LOC will be trying new strategies including;
changing the time of day the meetings are held and redesigning the public meeting
notices. The LOC is also considering producing another video encouraging community
members to participate in the legislative process.
Legislative Reference Office Update
The LRO is the support office for the LOC. The LRO drafts law, analyzes law, holds public
meetings, collects public comment, and involves various departments on legislative work teams
where the LOC discusses policy and makes decisions.
In the second quarter, the LRO focused on preparing for General Tribal Council meetings to
discuss the Election law amendments and a Sanctions & Penalties law. In addition, the LRO
focused on assisting boards, committees, and commissions with updating their bylaws. The
original deadline for this project was March 26, 2019. On March 27, 2019, the Oneida Business
Committee granted an extension for this deadline. In the third quarter, the LRO will; continue
to work with entities to complete their bylaws amendments, focus on the Oneida Food Service
Code amendments, the Domestic Animals law amendments, the Recycling and Solid Waste
Disposal law amendments, and the Child Support law Amendments.

American students who were involved in sports. Feedback was received from 8 coaches and 5
parents of school athletes and athletes involved through clubs and other organizations.
