Page 1 of 1 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. Public Packet 11 of 465 Kathleen Hughes "Motion Carried. NEXT" Famous words ofI(athleen Hughes, who served as Vice Chair and Treasure of the Oneida Nation during some of the most progressive and prosperous years in contemporary history. I(athy was known for being quick no nonsense efficient kind of leader. She may have a record for some of the fastest Business Committee meetings ever held. Perhaps that came from her military background as a Veteran of the United States Army she served her nation first and foremost. As Treasurer she commanded control of the managers to tend their budgets and reports and it was during her tenure we were gaining ground in keeping a set aside and saving money. She believed in holding people accountable for their responsibilities. Compact negotiations meant lobbying the Wisconsin Legislature week after week, long arduous trips to Madison. I(athy was a staunch advocate for building a better quality of life for her people, for all people. She focused her efforts on health care and improving our facilities and services locally and on a national level. As Co-Chair of The Tribal Consultation Advisory Committee she worked collaboratively with the NationalIndian Health Board and She was one of the most respected leaders in health issues in Indian Country. She worked with many national committees including the NationalIndian Health Board. In 2009 it was Vice Public Packet Chairwoman Hughes who greeted President Obama and informed him of the need for healthcare reform in Indian Country. In 2010 Vice Chairwoman Hughes received the National Impact Award for her work on a national level. Today we are the beneficiaries of many years of dedicated efforts by I(athy Hughes. I(athy is the daughter of the late Edmund and Blanche Powless who provided her with the guidance and love to be a giving and productive woman. I(athy has a son Tim and he and his family are proud of the woman they call Mom. In her spare time I(athy found the time to take some time for fishing and camping with friends she considered family. I(athy served on the Oneida Business Committee as Treasurer in (years0 I(athy served as Vice Chairwoman on the Business Committee in (Years) I(athy is retired and enjoying her time with family. 12 of 465 Public Packet 13 of 465 Special recognition - Lifetime achievement - Sandra Brehmer Business Committee Agenda Request 1.

Page 1 of 1 A good rnind. A good heart. A strong fire. Public Packet 16 of 465 Sandra (Sandy) Brehmer Sandra "Sandy" Brehmer is the oldest of 13 children born to the late Betty and Leo Doxtator in 1943. Born at St. Mary's Hospital in Green Bay she attended St. Jospeh Academy in Oneida. One of the two women that were instrumental in bringing gaming to a Native Community here in Oneida back in 1976, this effort really paid off for all the Native Wisconsin Tribes Statewide. To assist with helping pay to keep the lights on at the Civic Center (aka Oneida Nation Memorial Building) both Sandra Brehmer and Alma Webster started the Bingo operation that within a few years brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for the Oneida Nation and really began the building block / foundation for Tribal Nations in the State of Wisconsin. Tribal gaming had begun. The ultimate goal was to make enough revenue to keep the lights turned on in that facility as at the time it was one of the main buildings frequented by Oneida Tribal members and especially the kids in the area. They not only made goal they also made enough to pay all the workers who helped build and grow this gem. Whether it was a Bingo Caller, a Floor Worker or a young Clean-Up crew which cleaned and collected cans for the aluminum, all were compensated as well as content in this effort and it was truly paying off. Although hailed as one of the Bingo Queens, Brehmer has given more to this community than just getting Bingo rolling (which we all know is secure and stable yet today). Sandra raised 5 children and just felt she needed to be at home more often for her kids instead of on the Bingo floor each night. She did leave that behind as she pursued her instincts as a mom. Sandra proudly has 5 children, Patti Hoeft, Timothy Ninham, Pam Ninham, Steve Ninham and Matthew Ninham. She also has 6 Grandchildren, Lauren, Olivia, Vivien, Maksim, Camille and lmani as well as 2 great grandchildren, Owen and Evan. Sandy also advocated for several initiatives that helped put Oneida on the map as one of the most progressive Tribes in the State of Wisconsin. After she left the Bingo Hall, Irene Moore talked her into becoming the Community Action Coordinator. This move led her to what's known today as the Communications Department. She promoted everything the Tribe was then moving forward with. TV Bingo was broadcast live on TV in the late 80's, early 90's. Then came Lott Oneida and Big Green. All of this programming did eventually succumb to new guidelines which were enforced by the State/ Federal Governing Laws. Brehmer attended many tradeshows and events promoting all Oneida had to offer. As she has noted "it was colorful" and loved doing what she did. After careful consideration Ninham threw her hat in the ring and ran for the Business Committee in 1993 and served 3 terms (9 years) as a councilwoman.

The service of our elders is so appreciated we want to express our gratitude for the years of service and achievements as governmental officials. Thank you for your time and consideration. Page 1 of 1 A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire. Public Packet 38 of 465 Kathleen Hughes "Motion Carried. NEXT" Famous words ofI(athleen Hughes, who served as Vice Chair and Treasure of the Oneida Nation during some of the most progressive and prosperous years in contemporary history. I(athy was known for being quick no nonsense efficient kind of leader. She may have a record for some of the fastest Business Committee meetings ever held. Perhaps that came from her military background as a Veteran of the United States Army she served her nation first and foremost. As Treasurer she commanded control of the managers to tend their budgets and reports and it was during her tenure we were gaining ground in keeping a set aside and saving money. She believed in holding people accountable for their responsibilities. Compact negotiations meant lobbying the Wisconsin Legislature week after week, long arduous trips to Madison. I(athy was a staunch advocate for building a better quality of life for her people, for all people. She focused her efforts on health care and improving our facilities and services locally and on a national level. As Co-Chair of The Tribal Consultation Advisory Committee she worked collaboratively with the NationalIndian Health Board and She was one of the most respected leaders in health issues in Indian Country. She worked with many national committees including the NationalIndian Health Board. In 2009 it was Vice Public Packet Chairwoman Hughes who greeted President Obama and informed him of the need for healthcare reform in Indian Country. In 2010 Vice Chairwoman Hughes received the National Impact Award for her work on a national level. Today we are the beneficiaries of many years of dedicated efforts by I(athy Hughes.

Page 1 of 1 A good rnind. A good heart. A strong fire. Public Packet 45 of 465 Sandra (Sandy) Brehmer Sandra "Sandy" Brehmer is the oldest of 13 children born to the late Betty and Leo Doxtator in 1943. Born at St. Mary's Hospital in Green Bay she attended St. Jospeh Academy in Oneida. One of the two women that were instrumental in bringing gaming to a Native Community here in Oneida back in 1976, this effort really paid off for all the Native Wisconsin Tribes Statewide. To assist with helping pay to keep the lights on at the Civic Center (aka Oneida Nation Memorial Building) both Sandra Brehmer and Alma Webster started the Bingo operation that within a few years brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for the Oneida Nation and really began the building block / foundation for Tribal Nations in the State of Wisconsin. Tribal gaming had begun. The ultimate goal was to make enough revenue to keep the lights turned on in that facility as at the time it was one of the main buildings frequented by Oneida Tribal members and especially the kids in the area. They not only made goal they also made enough to pay all the workers who helped build and grow this gem. Whether it was a Bingo Caller, a Floor Worker or a young Clean-Up crew which cleaned and collected cans for the aluminum, all were compensated as well as content in this effort and it was truly paying off. Although hailed as one of the Bingo Queens, Brehmer has given more to this community than just getting Bingo rolling (which we all know is secure and stable yet today). Sandra raised 5 children and just felt she needed to be at home more often for her kids instead of on the Bingo floor each night. She did leave that behind as she pursued her instincts as a mom. Sandra proudly has 5 children, Patti Hoeft, Timothy Ninham, Pam Ninham, Steve Ninham and Matthew Ninham. She also has 6 Grandchildren, Lauren, Olivia, Vivien, Maksim, Camille and lmani as well as 2 great grandchildren, Owen and Evan. Sandy also advocated for several initiatives that helped put Oneida on the map as one of the most progressive Tribes in the State of Wisconsin. After she left the Bingo Hall, Irene Moore talked her into becoming the Community Action Coordinator. This move led her to what's known today as the Communications Department. She promoted everything the Tribe was then moving forward with. TV Bingo was broadcast live on TV in the late 80's, early 90's. Then came Lott Oneida and Big Green. All of this programming did eventually succumb to new guidelines which were enforced by the State/ Federal Governing Laws. Brehmer attended many tradeshows and events promoting all Oneida had to offer. As she has noted "it was colorful" and loved doing what she did. After careful consideration Ninham threw her hat in the ring and ran for the Business Committee in 1993 and served 3 terms (9 years) as a councilwoman.

An SoE is not required for two reasons, 1.) Research requests don’t require a resolution on the Nation’s end, a BC motion would suffice. Comprehensive Health uses Resolutions for this purpose as a matter of preference, and demonstration of formal approval to involved entities; 2.) Resolutions are exempt from an SoE when it approve a contract or agreement accompanied by a legal review. Participation in the requested study is an agreement to participate, subject to the Nation’s requirements.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: February 3, 2025 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The Oneida Business Committee has adopted resolutions which set aside funds disbursed from corporations to the Nation in an Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development fund (“the Fund”) and describes the process for accessing those funds. [Resolutions BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, BC-01-23-19-C, BC-01-23-19-D, and BC-0526-21-B]. When a request to utilize monies from the Fund is received, the Review Team, comprised of the Strategic Planner, Business Analyst, and the Budget Analyst, review the request for use of the Fund and determines if the proposed use is consistent with the Fund. The Review Team is then required to provide a written recommendation to the Oneida Business Committee regarding whether to authorize the allocation from the Fund to a specific project identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation. The Oneida Business Committee is then responsible for authorizing use of the Fund by a resolution clearly identifying the amount of funds authorized and purpose of the funds, which may be identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation, and the employee responsible for authorizing expenditures of the authorized amount. Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee would be approving an allocation of eighteen thousand sixty-nine dollars sand twenty-three cents ($18,069.23) from the Fund for the purpose of donation to the Rites of Passage Program. This resolution provides that the eighteen thousand sixty-nine dollars sand twenty-three cents ($18,069.23) from the Fund is not intended to be used for salaries or related expenses, and any unspent funds will be returned to the Fund. This resolution provides that utilizing the Fund for this purpose is aligned with the Oneida Business Committee Broad Goals and the approved Economic Development Plan Elements related to community development. Jameson Wilson, Oneida Business Committee councilmember, is identified as the responsible individual for this allocation of funding. This resolution does not directly provide a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation – but this funding could be tracked through the resolution number. Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 126 of 465 Conclusion Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Gage MEMORANDUM TO: Oneida Business Committee FROM: Jo Anne House, Chief Counsel DATE: February 5, 2025 SUBJECT: Ratification of Oneida Youth Leadership Institute Charter and Bylaws Amendments The Oneida Business Committee received amendments to the charter and bylaws of the Oneida Youth Leadership Institute which were reviewed by Attorney Krystal John for conformance with tribal law. The legal review indicated that approval was at the discretion of the Oneida Business Committee. On July 24, 2024 the Oneida Business Committee adopted a motion approving the amendments. Upon further review by the Government Administration Office, it was identified that the charter and bylaws required approval by resolution. As a result, the action by motion was insufficient. I have attached a proposed resolution which would ratify the July 24, 2025 action which satisfies the requirements of the charter and bylaws. Adoption of the resolution would take a simple majority vote and if adopted, would retroactively approve the charter and bylaws amendments. This resolution does not require a Statement of Effect as it ratifies an action which was accompanied by a legal review conducted by the Oneida Law Office.
