6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
Respectfully submitted to the Oneida Business Committee:
Sadly late last August, we had another overdose in our community that devastated not only the community, but
his family/children, and those involved with providing the drugs. Many lives were now changed, and for many of
us this was enough. This has been happening all over Indian Country and the Oneida community came together
in a few meetings to say Enough is Enough.
We walked throughout Oneida housing sites and communities to begin creating the awareness to those
unaware of what was happening or who chose not to acknowledge the Opiate/Heroin Epidemic. To let those
individuals who may be dealing or using know that we love them, but we don't want the drugs here. Enough is
Enough was just one of many grass roots community groups that started a Sacred Fire. Ours began on October
15, 2017, that burned for over 90 some days. Fires all over Indian Country were burning to create the awareness,
and that we needed to start healing and renewing our fires within us. Each of us can speak to what the fire was
doing and created over that period of time, because we each had varying experiences due to watching the fire.
Debra Valentino, became an official member to the TCC, also formerly helped to begin Enough is Enough,
grass roots community group, now Yukwatsistay", (Our Fire, Our Spirit, with in each of us) with many other
committed volunteers, which we can be that potential partner to the Oneida Nation to help them with Goal 3,
Objective A, our space will be a sober gathering place for those with substance abuse prevention, as well as
opening our doors to other addictions if needed.
We already raised our own money to pay for two people in our group to take the Recovery Coaching, and are
currently under DarJune, 501 c3 Status for purposes of raising more money, grants, fund raisers, etc ..., in the near
future. The same two individuals also took the training for Mending the Broken Hearts, Facilitators Training.
Both trainings are very good and we encourage this because this is how we begin to help our communities with
understanding how to heal. If we understand what to say, and learn how to look at those addicted, and that we
cannot give up, we and they have a better chance. They really want the love from their families/friends. Many of
us went through this, and we understand what they are going through. The next seven generations outcome
will determine how we handle this today.
We now need a space to move forward to assist those addicted, somewhere they can go to, and be ready when
other departments need to refer them somewhere. A safe space to come once they are ready, they do need to
want to quit, but we can help them think about that change, by introducing cultural awareness practices, and
utilizing the resources we have here for this. Our commitment is to learn, network, share, and provide resources.
We are not a counselor or treatment center, this is where we continue to work with TAP, DarJune, and many
others. The families are so important to this healing as well, Tsi nihukwahliho t", Our ways are very important in
this healing.
So this is why Yukwatsistay" needs this place as soon as possible. We have made connections, we are speaking
at various communities, churches, and meeting those who are waiting to help once we get established
somewhere. We have been raising money and others are awaiting more trainings that will be provided. Yaw"ko

Narrative/Background:
Conference is dedicated to the design and development of Tribal-owned casinos,
resorts and hotels. Tribal Leaders will gather with industry professionals to discuss the
most relevant topics in the casino and hospitality business
Travel to Temecula, California, Pechanga Resort, March 25-28, 2018, for the 11th
Annual Tribal Casino & Hotel Development.
Pechanga is the largest gaming, hotel, golf center in California. They started with
hotel/casino, and then expanded using energy efficient technology, and recycling
water. Their success was due to having a lead team to oversee the development. By
having an owner’s representative with several professionals on the lead team, who
represent business aspects, and all construction, design, architects, etc. The team
set their goals, and everyone worked together weekly to ensure progress.
Communication between the lead teams, sub teams and employees was a constant
and regular effort.
Attached is the agenda for the topics covered. Several vendors included design build
construction contractors and General Contractors, architects. Only one firm was a
full Native construction firm, hotel designers, and consultants, golf course designers
and consultants, and IT companies.
Of main interest was the Importance of being able to track customers in one system
to be able to improve marketing that attracts repeat customers and measuring the
value of programs and promotions being offered through all entertainment venues.

Business Committee Travel Report
New technology, for developing casinos, is virtual tours showing what it could look
like. For hotels, designers actually build a proto-type prior to initiating construction.
These allow the clients to view before buying. Many of the designers also do
feasibility studies of entertainment venues.
Criteria to include for marketing: Driving time, tracking your customer to see what
they buy, casino, hotel, golf, food, gasoline, flights, bus, and surveying what brings
them to the area, such as museums, sports, etc.
Casino Hotel Development Notes:
Ran into Tio (marketing email program), got feedback from him & associate that they
have spoken with both Chad and Brenda in the past and fail to get follow up from them
o Knows Ernie, EII & Brandon
E + R = O Presentation
o “Great Moments are born from Great opportunities” – Herb Brooks
o That’s what we all have now (used the hockey game scenario for U.S. v Russia)
o Used the butterfly analogy (the answer is in your hands)
o Events + Response = Outcome
System of 5 G’s
o Gratitude
Treat like a muscle
Impossible to mesh with anger & sadness
Enhances level of mindfulness (be in the moment w/the people)
o Good
Power “growth mindset”
Seeing obstacles as opportunities (wrestler who had 1 leg and became a
collegiate campion because he had to be on crutches his whole life)
The greatest things
o Grit
Hunger
Dogged determination
Resiliency and perseverance
o Generosity
2 types of people
Begin with the end
My boss
o Going for it
The only question (used the 20 or 10 dollar bill question)
Marketing Saturation in the Gaming Industry

o GDP growth in US (graph from 1930 – current)
Could see recession
Could see the ebbs & flows
o There hasn’t been much growth in the economy ‐ it has been stagnate but
should come back up at some point
o Expansion throughout the US has been happening despite the stagnation in the
economy
o There has been a slowdown in gaming since ’06
o CA gaming represents 26% of all gaming. CA gaming is usually behind any type
of movement in the industry
o The slowdown started before the great recession, there are other things going
on.
Maturation is one factor
Slow growth economy + expansion of casino gaming = market
maturation/market saturation
o Definition: when supply and demand are in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals
demand)
o How do you measure saturation and how do you know when a gaming market is
saturated?
o Used experts and peer reviewed (before group started, there wasn’t any)
Conducted a systematic empirical analysis of market saturation I the U.S. casino gaming
industry:
o 1. Identify and compare various metrics for measuring market saturation
o 2. Compute benchmark for each market saturation metric
o 3. Use benchmarks to evaluate saturation in markets
o Metrics used:
Gaming machines per 1,000 adults
Gaming machines per $1 billion of disposable personal income (DPI)
Gross gaming revenue (GGR) per capita
Gross gaming revenue (GGR) as a ratio of disposable personal income
(DPI)
Win per machine‐per day
** Note: higher levels of all metrics except Win per machine per day
indicate higher degree of market concentration. **
o Key components of market definition:
Product market – casino gaming
Geographic market
o Caveats:
Public Packet
64 of 303
Business Committee Travel Report
Page 4
size of a market should be allowed to vary depending on unique market
characteristics: 1 size does not fit all
Performance of gaming on national/state basis or for entire gaming
segments does not necessarily apply
Static analysis at a single point in time. limited by data availability
o 4 markets stood out amid all research: Atlantic City, NJ; Tunica/Lula, Mississippi;
St. Louis, Missouri/Illinois; Kansas City, Missouri/Kansas
o Took the metrics and did the analysis & concluding:
Machines per 1,000 are 6 or more
About 100 or more
Around $500
Around .08%
Win/Machine/Day =
o Can apply to an existing market (did analysis for BIA); expanding
o Picked Chicago (IL., IN.)
Should they allow more casino, specifically in the city
o Critical to define the market properly
o Saturation can change over time – need to update your analysis as market
conditions change
o Market saturation does not mean there is no growth – a saturated market can
grow based on population and income growth
o There can still be growth for suppliers and in a saturated market…but it comes at
the expense of competitors
Session Questions:
o What is relationship between lottery and market (different customers)
o Any consideration of tax implication(s)?
Financing Session (basic info already considered by Oneida)
o Gavin Clarkson, Esq. (candidate for New Mexico).
o Sources of funding which can’t be used for gaming space
o Sources of funding which can be used for hotel, convenience stores, etc.
o TED Bonds (allocation still remaining – like hotel next to a facility)
o EB5 money (immigration money)
o New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) – saved in last bill and has some allocations
(money does not have to be paid back from the investors, only the financial
institutions). Uses Community Development Entity (is certified) for NMTC
money to be allocated to. Equity Infusion to make project more financeable
Promote a positive message about the renovation
Provide valuable information

Create recognition and build awareness
On‐site messaging
Back of house/employee messaging
Need to track spending of all areas: 35% of revenue from gaming & 65% derive from
Non‐gaming.
Non‐gaming amenities
o Depends on location
o Market
o Competition
o Do research (highest financial return)
o Need to hire someone who can do a market study for each one
o “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose”
– Bill Gates
o Need the right team of people, talk to customer & staff
o Talk to others that are successful
o Talk to those who know how to plan and build
How to best design and construct a project while planning for future expansions
Need to know design goals & stay with them (me: scope creep in project management)
Planning Session
o Collaborative working session with right team members
o Coordination with utility companies
o Identify infrastructure for future expansion
o Bring on key trade contractors when appropriate
New Market Tax Credit Program

25% funding source for project (that is not paid back) with an interest
only debt payment as low as 1%.
o Will need to create separate legal entities – section 17
Can by‐pass the BIA as well and go directly to the funding source and a
network w/leases (sub‐entities)
Program. The Qualified Low income borrower can’t be the tribe)
o Project can’t be in furtherance of gaming either. It takes time to work out, but it
is doable.
o There may be also an opportunity to see if the state also has a program, so that
“stacking” may be allowed. Of the $11M, the tribe only need to pay back $5M,
$6M is “free” and written off the end.
o Each funding source has an attorney and they will work w/you to draft all of the
documents (just for new markets, transactions, etc.)
Not a requirement for the tribe to have their own C.D.E. The approximate tribal entity
should provide a recommendation whether there are benefits for the tribe to have their
own C.D.E.
Golf Courses
o Most tribes have chosen to purchase instead of building
o Time & costs need to be analyzed.
o Provides a secondary amenity to attract a different kind of customer that keeps
them in the facility longer (will see an increase in overall spend for the facility)
Bowling
o 90% of companies hold at least 1 event per year
o #2 team building event, next to volunteering
o Reducing an inventory, adding family entertainment center features
o Cinemas, expanded F& B offerings, adding FEC
o Restaurants & adding entertainment & recreation components
o FEC’s, improved F & B offerings
o Daycare centers, added other attractions/lifetime activities
o Sporting goods stores, improved F& B offering and added bowling
o Truck stops, travel centers of America
o Casinos, focused on keeping customers on property with more choices
o Create a competitive advantage for facility
o Provide additional revenue stream
o Appeal to wider demographic
o Blackjack casino resort, Isleta, Wild River casino

12:30 - 1:00 pm
LUNCHEON SPEAKER
National Opioid Crisis & What it can Mean for
Native America
• With increased competition causing market saturation,
tribes need to differentiate their properties from competitors in their respective markets to stay relative.
• Identify the size of the casino expansion needed for your
market and location.
• How have times changed? It would have been unthinkable in the past to devote chunks of casino floors to entertainment and attractions, but today it is vital to do so.
• How do you attract garners and entertainment seekers
while also increasing profits?
• What are the latest design principles and technologies?
• How is each department affected when expanding your
property?
• Bars and restaurants can complement the casino experience, increase revenue and keep customers at your casino longer.
• Pools are not just for swimming anymore; they are becoming premium social hangouts, day and nightclubs,
and areas for meetings, private massages, bars and more.
• Designing a pool that fits your brand and works on your
property is key. What should you include when adding a
pool or expanding your pool area?

Not Only Increases Profit But Also Decreases Cost
Throughout Your Enterprise

• Discover new technologies that exist to keep track of
your customers and know their preferences. What can

money your guests spend?
• How valuable can revenue management systems be?
What learning periods are involved? Can their targeted
information help merge casino and hotel functions together?
• Do you know what your player reinvestment percentage
is? Many times what you think doesn't match what you
really are investing.
• What other parts of your casino or hotel can you analyze
and add revenue management technology to increase
profitability?
• Getting the right people in your casino can be more profitable than getting the most people in.
• Does your player loyalty environment make each trip special for your guest?
• Player rewards programs need to change- rewards need

Moderator:

Founder & Principal
• What non-gaming amenities do your guests want? And how do
you figure that out?
• Discover what amenities make the most sense for your property
and market. Difference casino sizes, locations and guest demographics play a large role. What will give the most return on investment, increase length of stay and help your casino stand
out from your competition?
• How can your casino increase revenue with the non-gaming
amenities you already have? You want to make sure you're reinventing your amenities and creating multi-use spaces.
• Discuss strategies to package and market your amenities to
create an entertainment destination and bring more people to
your property.
• What has worked for other properties? And what hasn't been
successful?
• How can these projects be financed?
• When is it justified to charge a resort fee to help offset additional costs related to the resort and its amenities?
• Golf courses can help Indian casinos become full-scale destination resorts and increase overnight stay. What would work for
you- purchase an existing course or develop a new one? Can you
partner with a nearby golf course if you don't have your own?
