Jennifer Webster

Opposed:

Daniel Guzman King

Abstained:

Tina Danforth

Not Present:

Marie Summers

For the record: Treasurer Tina Danforth stated my abstention is because in some of the numbers,

there's not enough information for me to justify the number. For example, this is just an example, in

Housing Year 1 - $7.9 million; Year 2 - $7.9 million; Year 3 - $3.9 million. I don't really understand

what $7.9 million represents specific to Housing in either Year 1, 2 or 3. And that's where I'm not

confident in what that number represents. If somebody were to come up to me today and ask me what

does $7.9 million represent, because this is a very specific number, because it's actually $7,923,692,

this is a very specific number. It's not $8 thousand, not $7.5 million, which would be a rounded

number, right? Then you would know it's an estimate, this is a very specific number and it represents

something very specific. In my review and understanding, I don't know specifically what $7.923 million

represents. I can't explain that. It's the same for some of the other allocations. The Direct

Membership one, again, I think that one's based on the number [of enrolled members], I can probably

explain that one because we know how many members we are and we know what the percentage is

that we’re probably going to be distributing, so that's fine. But when you go down to the other

numbers, I can't understand what the detail is behind that number. Like Overall Priority – Land,

Infrastructure, Sovereignty Year 1 is $1,988,923. I’m not really sure what that represents unless

somebody just took that number, in this case to the $5.942 [million] number the general 5% number,

divided it by three and allocated it to three years, but I don't really know what that represents. There's

a reason why that number is what it is and I can't personally cannot explain it; and the reason I can't is

because I didn't generate the number. I know we had the conversations, we had our broad goals, and

our four broad goals are Direct Membership, Housing, Food & Agriculture, and Culture & Language.

Those are the four biggest areas we're funding. I can understand that generally, but when it comes to

the specific number and breakout, I don’t know how that number was created. I just wanted that for

the record. Thank you.

For the record: Councilman Daniel Guzman King stated I’m definitely happy and glad that we are

going to be funding our broad goals and I think that’s incredible. That’s awesome. I just have

reservations regarding the process of how we are going to be executing this. Hopefully everything will

go well and smoothly.

2 In the first resolve of the resolution, “3.” is missing at the start of the line which reads “for the provision of

government services to the extent of the reduction in the revenue of Oneida Nation prior to the emergency”. This has

administrative error has been corrected in the certified resolution.

White House 4th of July Celebration with Essential Workers

IGA_Fourth of July 07.04.21 (External).xlsx

Hi Chairman Hill,

This year at the White House, because of our strong response to combat COVID-19, America will

mark independence from the virus with a celebration on the South Lawn with essential workers and

military families on the evening of July 4, 2021. We are reaching out to ask you to help us identify

1 essential worker from your area to invite to the celebration. Each invitee will be allowed 3

guests, including members of their family since this will be a family-oriented celebration.

Below are instructions for submitting invitees through the attached template. We will need

recommendations from your office by no later than 4 PM ET Today, Monday June 21st.

The primary recommended invitee must fall within the CDC category of an essential/frontline worker.

See list below:

o Healthcare personnel

o Corrections workers

o Education workers

o First responders

o Food and agriculture

o Grocery store workers

o Manufacturing

o Public transit workers

o U.S. postal service workers.

Invitations for the 4th of July celebrations will be extended from the White House Social Office

after Tuesday, June 22nd via email.

As this is our first large scale official event coming out of the pandemic, capacity is limited. Submitting

a name, unfortunately, does not guarantee an invitation but we are hopeful we will be able to

accommodate everyone’s recommendations.

We greatly appreciate your assistance and thank you for helping us honor and celebrate those who

have been serving on the frontlines fighting this pandemic. Please let me know if you have any

questions.

Thank you,

PaaWee Rivera

Action Required: Confirmation of Tribal Employment Numbers – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery

Funds

Wednesday, June 30, 2021 3:07:40 PM

This email contains important information from the U.S. Department of the Treasury

(Treasury) about actions that your Tribal government must take to receive the second payment

associated with the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds as determined in the

Tribal Government Allocation Methodology. Please read this email carefully.

Under the CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), Treasury requested that, for each

calendar quarter of 2019, Tribal governments submit the number of their employees and the

number of employees of any entity of which the Tribal government owns at least 51% of the

ownership interests. To ensure consistency, Tribes were required to use the employee numbers

submitted to the IRS on Form 941.

After you re-enter the Treasury Submission Portal , please click “Submission & Compliance

Forms” on the left side of the screen. You will see “Supplemental Information Required” next

to your original Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund submission. Click

“Provide Information” next to your submission to review the 2019 employment numbers

Treasury has on file for your Tribal government from the CRF. You will be prompted to either

confirm or amend the 2019 employment numbers that your Tribal government previously

submitted to Treasury. In the event 2019 employment numbers need to be amended, or if your

Tribal government did not submit employment information to Treasury under the CRF, your

Tribal government will have the opportunity to do so in the Treasury Submission Portal by

submitting your Forms 941.

If you require access to the documentation submitted on behalf of your Tribal government for

the CRF, please email covidreliefitsupport@treasury.gov with the subject “Tribal Employment

Document Request.”

The deadline for confirming or amending a Tribal government’s 2019 employment numbers is

July 16, 2021. If a Tribal government does not confirm or amend employment numbers by this

deadline, the Tribal government will not be eligible to receive a share of the employment

allocation as determined in the Tribal Government Allocation Methodology.

If you have questions about the Treasury Submission Portal or require technical support,

please email covidreliefitsupport@treasury.gov. If you have general questions about the

Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, please email SLFRP@treasury.gov or

call 844-529-9527. Please reach out to Treasury Tribal Affairs at Tribal.Consult@treasury.gov

with any other questions.
