PURPOSE: In accordance with the Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. 1901, etseq. , the

purpose of the Board is to protect the best interest of Oneida children and to promote the stability

and security of Oneida families. When placements of such children in foster or adoptive homes

or facilities are necessary, these homes must reflect the unique values of Indian culture. For this

purpose, the Board may intervene in federal, state, and county courts concerning the following

proceedings: foster care placement, termination of parental rights, pre-adoptive placement,

adoptions and out of home placements.

MEETING REQUIREMENTS

Oneida Child Protective Board meets weekly and by special requests from family members,

counties departments, or community members.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Facilitate appropriate training opportunities for Oneida Child Protective Board members for

certificate/report of completion per Oneida Child Protective Board Bylaws.

Develop working relationship and improve judicial relationships through meetings with

tribal, state, and county personnel.

Work in accordance with the Oneida Law Office and Tribal Social services to enforce the

provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act.

COMMENTS

Attended state court hearings in support of placement of Oneida children and their families.

Heard, discussed and recommended the best solution for cases that came before us. The

following chart demonstrates the approximate number of cases for the quarter:

Worked with LOC staff regarding changes to the Children's Code. Made recommendations of

specific changes due to the importance of following NICWA laws and regulations.

Also recommended the Code not be passed unless the Oneida Nation can assist the Oneida

families/children and have the foster homes that would be better than any other County.

Assisted families with concerns of the county workers and supervisors.

Requested that the ICWA staff continue to search out family for placement options and not

use the same member from the past year, since the dynamics of our families’ changes every

day.

Dealt with issue of a residency that was questionable.

o Issue arose from this whereas Election Board was made aware that Tribal

identification cards do not require proof of residency. Applicants who provided

this with application as proof of residency were notified to submit an alternate

form. Alternate, acceptable forms of proof of residency were received from all

notified applicants by the deadline requested.

Draft 2017 general election notice and ballot and mail out and post in prominent

locations

Address appeal with Attorney Michelle Gordon by applicant deemed ineligible listed

above.

o Note: Decision of the Judiciary overturned the Election Board Hearing Body’s

decision and Election Board was ordered to include applicant on general

election ballot in the Business Committee Vice Chairperson section.

Addressed request for Special Election for recent Judiciary vacancy.

o This will most likely be scheduled for the fall

Travel arrangements for general election

Featured Legislation: Children’s Code

The Children’s Code (Code) is a proposed new law that allows the Nation to exercise jurisdiction over its

children who are in need of protection or services. The Code ensures that certain child welfare cases

involving Oneida children are heard in the Oneida Family Court (OFC) and utilize the Nation’s

resources, which may reduce out-of-home placements and increase reunification. Addressing these

cases in the OFC will help keep children on the Reservation where more family members and Oneida

foster homes are located and the traditions and culture of the Nation can be better preserved.

A summary of the work and collaboration that went into this effort includes;

 Approximately 32 work meetings have been held

 More meetings will occur in the fourth quarter

 14 experts were consulted including;

-Managing Director, ICWP at Casey Family Programs

-Former Deputy Director, National Indian Child Welfare Association

-Tribal Affairs Specialist, Division of Safety and Permanence, Wisconsin Department of Children and

Families

-Tribal Liaison, Wisconsin Department of Children and Families

-Former Director of ICW & Child Support, current Vice President of Business Development,

Systems & Methods, Inc.

-Connecting Point AV & Security, Camera Corner

-Children’s Court Improvement Program Director, Director of State Courts Office

-Policy Analyst, Children’s Court Improvement Program

-Court Administrator, Oneida Judiciary

-Lead Administrative Social Worker, Ho Chunk Nation Child and Family Services

-Indian Child Welfare Manager, Stockbridge-Munsee

-Assistant Corporation Counsel, CHIPS, Brown County

-Tribal Prosecutor, Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

-Family Services Manager (ICW), Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians

 18 children’s codes from other tribes and states were reviewed, as well as other related documents.

 A public meeting was held on May 4, 2017 and the LOC received and responded to approximately 88

comments. The LOC did make changes to the Code based on those comments.

Legislative Reference Office (LRO) Third Quarter Activities

The LRO develops LOC meeting packets and public meeting packets. In addition, the LRO schedules and

facilitates legislative work meetings where the LOC discusses policy and makes decisions. The LRO also

maintains a legislative record of the LOC’s work, including the Oneida Register. Other activities in the

third quarter included;

 2017-2020 Business Committee transition planning

 2017-2019 budget planning

 Assisting Oneida Law Office to collect legislative documents for pending litigation

Quality of Life Committee

FY 2017 Quarterly Report (April to June 2017)

PURPOSE

The Quality of Life Committee is a standing committee of the Oneida Business Committee that

has oversight responsibility of the following areas of the Nation: Language and Culture, Health,

Human Services and Public Safety. This oversight responsibility also extends to any board,

committee, or commission related to these specific areas.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Councilwoman Fawn Billie, Quality of Life Committee Chair

Councilman Tehassi Hill, Quality of Life Committee Vice Chair

Treasurer Trish King, Quality of Life Committee Member

Secretary Lisa Summers, Quality of Life Committee Member

Councilman Brandon Stevens, Quality of Life Committee Member

Other partners include: Wellness Council, Oneida Police Department, Division Directors, other

senior leaders and their staff.

MEETINGS

Quality of Life Committee regular meetings are scheduled on the second Thursday of every

month starting at 8:30 a.m. Meetings were held on April 20th, May 11th, and June 15th during the

3rd quarter.

ACTIVITIES SUMMARY

A. Increasing Awareness of Drug and Substance Abuse Problems in the Oneida

Community

The Quality of Life Committee has partnered with other services and agencies within the Nation

to help increase awareness of drug and substance abuse problems in the Oneida Community.

Tribal Action Plan

The Quality of Life Committee supported the Tribal Action Plan team in putting together

a resolution to prioritize alcohol/substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment.

The BC adopted the Tribal Action Plan with BC resolution #05-10-17-C titled “A

resolution authorizing the establishment of a Tribal Coordinating Committee and to

Develop and Implement a Tribal Action Plan for a Comprehensive Prevention and

Treatment Program for Alcoholism and Other Substance Abuse”.

Core members of the Tribal Action Plan team provided monthly updates to the Quality of

Life Committee on their progress, including identifying potential members of the Tribal

Coordinating Committee and inviting them to a kick off meeting. Over 10 people have

committed to being a part of the Tribal Coordinating Committee moving forward.

The Quality of Life Committee directed that a mandatory training be held for all tribal

employees on drug identification. This project is currently in progress and staff will be

working with HRD and the CEC to incorporate this training into an existing mandatory

training for employees.

B. Creating Wellness in the Workplace

The Quality of Life Committee is a partner with the Nation’s Wellness Council, supporting the

Council’s efforts to create wellness in the workplace and across the Oneida community.

FY '17 3rd Quarter Reports

Page 132

Exercise at Work Pilot Study

The Quality of Life Committee supported an initiative aimed to identify ways for

employees to increase their physical activity while at work to lower health risks, improve

morale, and decrease spending on health care.

On March 8, 2017, the BC approved an Oneida Wellness Council - Exercise at Work

Strategy Resolution #03-08-17-D with an effective date of December 1, 2017. The

Wellness Council has been overseeing the implementation of this initiative and has

provided the Quality of Life Committee regular updates on the progress of the

implementation plan.

C. Oneida Services for Tribal Members

The Quality of Life Committee has continued the discussion on how to best coordinate intake

client information across various internal departments. The Quality of Life Committee identified

two division directors to work together to create a sub-team to improve the coordination of care

services the Nation already provides, improve customer service, and improve case

management.

At the April 27th BC meeting, a motion was made to include a timeline in the next QOL quarterly

report. During the 3rd quarter, the Quality of Life Committee did not have the opportunity to

confirm a project timeline for the case management strategy with the Division Directors.

However, the Division Directors have been actively meeting on this item. Therefore, it is

recommended the timeline be deferred to the next term to give the Division Directors the

opportunity to complete their plan of action and develop a timeline for discussion with the

Quality of Life Committee.

REQUESTED ACTION:

Motion to accept the Quality of Life Committee FY2017 3rd quarter report and request the

timeline for the case management strategy be deferred to the FY2018 1st quarter report.

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

Oneida ESC Group, LLC (OESC), was formed in 2012 as a holding company to house

subsidiaries to do business with the federal government. Oneida Total Integrated Enterprises

(OTIE) has exceeded the $33.5M limit in certain NAICS codes and is unable to bid and obtain

contracts that fall within these NAICS codes as a prime contractor under the small business or

8(a) business categories in the federal procurement process. Therefore, OESC formed Mission

Support Services (MS2) to continue serving the federal government under the construction

NAICS code. Sustainment and Restoration Services (SRS) is also a subsidiary under OESC that

performs engineering services to the federal government. This year OTIE rolled under OESC to

help facilitate the growth of OESC’s subsidiaries.

As of January 2017, OESC’s subsidiaries are supported by OESC with general management and

administrative functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resources

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 was created to serve as a holding company for subsidiary limited liability companies

with an 8(a) certification. This type of holding company structure is modeled after the

Alaskan Native Corporations (ANC) and other Native American Tribes that have created

similar entity structures. This holding company structure allows ANCs and Native American

Tribes to perpetually establish different 8(a) companies with different primary NAICS codes.

OESC’s revenue is derived from the subsidiaries that operate in 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. OESC operates in five core

services:

• Environmental services – Assessment, investigation, design, testing and monitoring

• Remediation – Action Planning, project management, extraction of contaminated

materials.

• Construction and demolition – Repair, service, abatement and renovation.

• Engineering Services – Design and project management for sites and site design,

structural, mechanical, roads, bridges and water systems.

• Munitions response services – Investigation and remediation of munitions and

ordinances.

Oneida Total Integrated Enterprises (OTIE) – An 8(a) program graduate that will

compete in the full and open marketplace as a small business (less than 750 employees).

Core competencies will include environmental services, environmental remediation and

project management.

Mission Support Services (MS2) – 8(a) Graduation date is 3/15/2022.

OESC 3rd Quarter Report 2017

Page 1

FY '17 3rd Quarter Reports

Page 160

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

MS2 is focused on construction management contracts. Core competencies will include

construction management services, new and renovated structures, HVAC systems and

controls, utility systems - water, sewer, gas, electrical, electrical power generators,

transformers, and distribution, communication and security systems, interior remodeling,

upgrades focused on the federal market with supplemental markets including commercial and

tribal construction projects.

Sustainment & Restoration Services (SRS) – 8(a) Graduation date is 2/18/2023.

SRS core competencies include facility investigations, corrective measures

design/implementation, remedial designs/remedial actions including characterization,

assessment and cleanup, wetlands assessment and wetlands restoration design, Brownfields –

Phase I & II ESAs, technical enforcement support facility and asset inventory, evaluation and

assessment engineering design for site development, utility systems, and facilities,

engineering design for wastewater treatment and sewerage systems.

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 MS2 and SRS are start-up companies. It will be difficult for them to

compete with established small businesses that are active in the industry market. To offset

this disadvantage, OTIE will support and lead OESC and its subsidiaries to take advantage of

existing relationships already built by MS2’s and SRS’ key employees or from OTIE’s

networking. While competition will be very challenging for OESC and its subsidiaries,

OTIE's support will help to overcome those challenges through the years. With OTIE’s

support, OESC can reach a point where its subsidiaries can become more competitive and

sustainable in their industries.

During this time where the state and federal agencies are seeing decreases in their budgets,

we are evaluating solutions to broaden and capture the larger Federal and State Market.

Creating more subsidiaries would facilitate to broaden our market share. These subsidiaries

would operate based on different NAICS codes. New subsidiaries would seek to broaden

and capture the larger Federal and State markets.

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 treated in a category of small business that may be

OESC 3rd Quarter Report 2017

Page 2

FY '17 3rd Quarter Reports

Page 161

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

awarded prime contracts without competition. OESC 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 are the regional Transportation

Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WisDOT work.

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

A regulatory change by SBA in 2016 increased the small business size standard in our

primary NAICS code (562910) from 500 employees to 750 employees, a 50% increase.

Within small business circles, OTIE remains a sturdy, medium-sized competitor, but this

regulatory change allowed in a few larger, robust competitors like Conti, Versar and

Parametrix.

Additionally, SBA adjusted the long-standing Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP) regulations to

permit a small business of any category (Woman Owned small business, Veteran Owned

small business, HUB Zone, etc.) to establish an MPP with a large business. The impact of

this change is that the approved MPP firms may submit a Joint Venture bid on a federal

acquisition and compete against other joint or individual small businesses. Also, the agency

has accelerated the review/approval process for MPP application, which is a change from the

ordinarily long waiting period for small business and large business partners’ applications.

f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made

towards accomplishment of the same

Goals for OESC

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.

Our design and engineering business has performed well during the year with strong volumes

and high productivity, with new licensed professionals hired in disciplines such as

mechanical, electrical and structural engineering.

Key contract wins was crucial to retaining our position and relationship with our Department

of Defense customers.

Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:

Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, or SRS key personnel have

successful past performance, and where personnel involved in such projects have established

strong relationships with teaming partners and clients in those locations. Downstream

opportunities continue to emerge based on MS2 project performance and combined efforts of

OESC 3rd Quarter Report 2017

Page 3

FY '17 3rd Quarter Reports

Page 162

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

OTIE and MS2’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to include Vandenberg

AFB, NAVFAC SW, NAVFAC SE, NAVFAC Great Lakes, and NAS Pensacola.

Additional new target clients include Naval Base Ventura County, USACE Jacksonville, the

US Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC), Edwards AFB, and the Air Force Civil

Engineering Center (AFCEC).

With SRS’ recently awarded work, SRS target clients include EPA Region V and Naval

Station Great Lakes. Additional new targets include USACE LA District, EPA Region VI

and USACE Tulsa.

OTIE has built its customer base over the years and has been awarded contracts by a number

of federal and state agencies including the US Air Force, US Navy, US Army Corps of

Engineers, the US EPA, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, among many others.

These contract types may include Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts in

which OTIE receives task orders (projects). In addition to ID/IQ contracts, OTIE has also

been awarded stand alone, single project contracts.

During this reporting period OTIE is pleased to have secured new contracts:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

USACE Omaha District awarded an ID/IQ contract

USACE Tulsa District awarded an ID/IQ contract

USEPA DES contract for Regions 8, 9 and 10. This ten-year contract with seven

contractors performing task orders against that total. The award is under protest in

CLIN2, and task orders will be delayed until at least 2QFY18

NAVFAC EXWC awarded three task orders

USEPA Region 9 awarded additional work at AMCO

The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin awarded a roadways contract as well as the Head Start

Day Care Center project

National Park Service awarded a PA project in Saipan.

These contract awards were augmented by other new starts with the Oneida Tribe plus

healthy growth under existing A/E Services contracts with the US Air Force, and with our

single largest customer, the US Army Corps of Engineers. The steadiness of our business

performance with our WisDOT and on our EPA START contract provided healthy and

consistent returns as well.

MS2 has been awarded contracts by the following clients: NAVFAC SE (Naval Station

Pensacola), NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic (Great Lakes Naval Station), NAVFAC SW (Naval Base

Ventura County), Army Contracting Command (Joint Munitions Command), USACE

Omaha, USACE Albuquerque , Edwards AFB and USACE Tulsa. We continue to receive

task orders under some of these contracts because of the quality of MS2’s work and

reputation.

OESC 3rd Quarter Report 2017

Page 4

FY '17 3rd Quarter Reports

Page 163

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

MS2 was able to win several contract vehicles called Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity

(ID/IQ) contracts in which MS2 will receive task orders (projects).

Noteworthy developments in the 3rd Quarter and planned future pursuits include:

•

•

•

Recent e-mails with the Contracting Specialist at NAVFAC SW indicate they are

completing the RFP documents to issue MS2 a directed contract to renovate a facility at

Point Mugu, Naval Base Ventura County.

Work continues to be slow under the MS2-MEC JV at Edwards AFB. Activity through

the 3rd quarter was slow, but RFP’s are beginning to pick up. However, they are still

mostly for abatement work; most defense installations are getting signs from the new

administration that they can expect to an increase in additional funds to support “mission

ready” projects, so perhaps demolition projects may increase in the final quarter.

Continued discussions to advance relationships with several teaming partner candidates

for work at various locations, including Zapata, AMEC, Conti, Continental Heavy Civil,

and Hightower Construction.

In addition to ID/IQ contracts, MS2 has also been awarded stand alone, single project

contracts from our government clients that we are currently executing.

• Army Contracting Command – Joint Munitions Command – contract to provide full-time

explosive safety personnel. We have been informed that they intend to add an additional

full-time staff member and will be extending our contract through FY18.

• Naval Station Pensacola - received award for Chiller replacement project.

• NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic – Fort Snelling, MN – received a contract for security upgrades

and fencing improvements. This utilized our Design-Build MACC contacts at Great

items and submit completion reports. (3rd quarter, work continued)

proposed plans. (3rd quarter, new award)

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:

• Establishing and monitoring key performance indicators which allow us to act early and

manage the business going forward. Key performance indicators include 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

• The government may adopt new contract laws or regulations at any time.

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. OESC’s backlog has grown and

our utilization is high.

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

OESC 3rd Quarter Report 2017

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2017

strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity. Our medium- and long-term

prospects reinforce our projections for steady, sustained growth.

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’s increased focus and

investment in business development and talent acquisition has allowed us to significantly

increase both new task orders and backlog going into FY17. We continue to strongly believe

that OESC’s capabilities and strengths align well with the future needs and demands of our

clients.

Long-term prospects

OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble

and agile where we can focus on governments funding flows including where funds

historically flow

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 across all business

segments.

Similarly, we are concentrating our 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.)

As a top-tier contractor to the federal government, OESC has a large and diverse blend of

federal, State, municipal, tribal and commercial business customers. Backlog, revenue and

the number of employees have grown at a reasonable rate since 2009. Since inception of the

company, all growth has been organic. Organic growth includes the hiring of key personnel

with knowledge and contacts that offer OESC with new and expanded opportunities.

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.

OTIE is named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the artist of a mural. The case is

Kammeyer v. USACE.

In 1976, Kammeyer painted a mural on a dam in California after winning a contest. The

mural was painted as part of the bicentennial celebration. Over time, the paint began to flake

off, thereby contaminating the environment around the dam. The USACE Los Angeles

District recently determined that the paint used to create the mural was lead-based. OTIE was

hired by USACE to remove a mural to stop the lead-based paint contamination. Several

months after the contract was awarded, Kammeyer filed a lawsuit against USACE and OTIE

to prevent the destruction of the mural. Shortly after filing the lawsuit, Kammeyer filed a

temporary restraining order against USACE and OTIE in June 2015, which was granted by a

judge one day before OTIE was to begin removing the mural. OTIE demobilized from the

site at USACE’s direction.

OTIE has hired local counsel to represent OTIE’s interests in the lawsuit. OTIE requested

plaintiff’s counsel to remove OTIE from the lawsuit by not including OTIE as a defendant in

plaintiff’s second amended complaint. Plaintiff’s counsel refused. On August 24, 2015 the

court granted the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction. The court found in favor of

the plaintiff on nearly every issue, but did not address any of the claims against OTIE.

OTIE’s next step is to decide whether to file a motion to dismiss. USACE has issued a

notification of termination for convenience of the contract.
