RE:

Approval of Oneida Nation Business Committee 401(k) resolution

Date:

June 9, 2023

Finance Administration is requesting approval of the Oneida Nation Business
Committee 401(k) resolution to meet the regulatory requirements for
transferring the plan from the former American Funds plan administration to
the T. Rowe Price plan administration. The Oneida Business Committee has
previously met with SagePoint Financial to discuss alternate 401(k) plan
administrators. The Oneida Nation Business Committee selected T. Rowe Price
as they had lower fees and more investment options. T. Rowe Price requires
adoption of the resolution to authorize the plan.

There was no NICOA event held in 2022 as it is held biennially. ONCOA is respectfully requesting approval
from the Oneida Business Committee to have $5,000.00 moved from ONCOA’s Special Events account line
(4273006-000-705105-000) to ONCOA’s Transportation & Per Diem account line (4273006-000-701000-000)
which would allow five (5) ONCOA members to attend NICOA. ONCOA is not requesting additional funding,
but rather just movement of a portion of the currently FY 2023 approved funds from ONCOA’s Special
Events account line to ONCOA’s Travel account line.

will not produce any fiscal impact.

Finance can confirm this transfer does not produce a fiscal impact and does not
make a recommendation to support the transfer or not. We hope this disclosure
provides the Oneida Business Committee the financial information needed to render
their decision.

Subject:

FY2024 Budget Resolution

This notice is to inform you that I will be preparing a handout for the 6/14
meeting to include:
• A PDF containing
o This cover memo
o The resolution
o A statement of effect
o A memo from HRD re: FY24 compensation
• A Word doc containing
o The resolution
The purpose of the resolution will be to define the budget guidelines, as required
by 121.5-4(a) of the Budget and Finances Law. Highlights of the resolution will
include:
• A timeline of events needed to prepare us for the 9/25/2023 Budget GTC
meeting
• A guiding direction identifying major goals. I will focus on these, and the
121.4-1(c) responsibility for the BC to develop priorities. We should all
take ownership of these major goals. Most broadly, I’ve identified three
areas:
o Minimizing carryover usage (but I don’t think it’s realistic to
eliminate this in a single year.)
o Maintaining GWA payments
o Continuing and increasing savings rate
• Line-item guidance for each business unit to complete their budgets. This
section will look familiar. Notable figures here include:
o No budget increases, remain flat, and this includes personnel and
fringe increases.
o Employment cap to 2,100, and a shift to how the organization
prepares for budgeted and vacant positions. In addition to budgeting

for all filled positions, I’m proposing budgeting for 100 medianpaying positions. As needs come to fill these positions throughout
the year, the Strategic Leadership team will be responsible
understanding the broader priorities and needs of the organization,
so they can allocate those positions and funds. This will result in
both reducing budgeted funds for vacant/unfilled positions and
aiming to align the limited positions to the highest priorities.

Statement of Effect
Support for Great Law Recital in Oneida Nation Community 2023
Summary
The resolution supports a recital of the Great Law of Peace in the Nation and acknowledges the
benefits to the community and employees of the Nation that would result from hosting this recital.
This resolution then encourages business units to provide support for the recital committee, and
requests direct reports of the Oneida Business Committee to provide concepts of how employees
of the Nation can participate in hearing the recital as a learning experience to better understand
their responsibilities to the Nation and community to the July 12, 2023, regular Business
Committee meeting.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: June 9, 2023
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
On September 25, 2019, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-09-25-19-C,
Support for Great Law Recital in Oneida Nation Community, which expressed support for the clan
representatives to form a recital committee and to present its request to the Grand Council to host
a recital of the Kayantla’?kowa, Great Law of Peace, at the Oneida Nation Reservation. The Great
Law Recital was scheduled for 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The
recital committee has reconvened to host the Great Law Recital August 7-10, 2023.
Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee acknowledges its
responsibilities under the Great Law of Peace combined with their responsibilities under the
Constitution of the Oneida Nation, and provides that a recital of the Great Law of Peace will help
to bring the community together and remind ourselves of our responsibilities to each other, the
community, and the earth. This resolution proclaims that the Oneida Business Committee believes
that employees within the organization can benefit from hearing and experiencing the recital of
the Great Law of Peace. This resolution then encourages business units of the Nation to provide
support for the recital committee and work through the Chairman Hill’s office to ensure proper
reporting, avoid duplication of efforts, and allow the recital committee to have an accurate
understanding of the needs for hosting a recital. Through this resolution the Oneida Business
Committee requests its direct reports to provide concepts of how employees of the Nation can
participate in hearing the recital as a learning experience to better understand their responsibilities
to the Nation and community to the July 12, 2023, regular Business Committee meeting.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

which includes approval of a limited waiver of sovereign immunity
E‐POLL REQUEST
Summary:
1

Public Packet

123 of 240

The nature of this request is for a BC resolution that would authorize the Oneida Nation farm to apply for a grant to
purchase a piece of farm equipment, specifically a Hay Tedder. A Hay Tedder spreads hay out after cutting to increase
the drying time as well as the feed value. This will help us to make dry hay more efficiently. Also have less hay get rained
on, or bleached out in the sun, therefore having a better product to feed to our herd. It will also serve to limit the funds
necessary to feed our stock. The second part of the resolution is the agreement to provide a waiver of sovereign
immunity limited to the grant award amount. We have applied for and received this grant in the past and we have given
the waiver in the past as well.
Justification for E‐Poll:
This grant application is due June 1st and this request was miscommunicated through approval channels for the 5/24/23
BC meeting.
Requested Action:
Adopt resolution entitled Oneida Nation Farm Native American Agriculture Fund Application which includes approval of
a limited waiver of sovereign immunity

Re:

Resolution - “Oneida Nation Farm Native American Agriculture Fund Application”

E-Poll Request
______________________________________________________________________________
Good day,
The nature of this request is for a BC resolution that would authorize the Oneida Nation farm to
apply for a grant to purchase a piece of farm equipment, specifically a Hay Tedder. A Hay
Tedder spreads hay out after cutting to increase the drying time as well as the feed value. This
will help us to make dry hay more efficiently. Also have less hay get rained on, or bleached out
in the sun, therefore having a better product to feed to our herd. It will also serve to limit funds
necessary to feed our stock.
The second part of the resolution is the agreement to provide a waiver of sovereign immunity
limited to the amount of the grant award. We have applied for and received this grant in the past
and we have given the waiver in the past as well.
The reason for an e-poll is time constraints the grant is due in end of business Wednesday.
We respectfully request authorization to submit this resolution to the Business Committee for
their consideration.
Thank you

concerns with ACF and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) to which Oneida
hold 2 grants from.Tribes have been advocationg for some time to hold consultations
along with major tribal conferences in order to save dollars on travel and include
more Tribal Leaders. Please note the following items were shared with ACF:

Kunesh from ANA and invited her to Oneida when her schedule allows. I also made
connections with other tribal leaders from the Bemidji area to invite them to the CDC
