For the record: Secretary Lisa Liggins stated I would like to thank the representatives from the Oneida
Nation and the General Manager’s office and the General Manager himself, for presenting these
reports to us today. We have used these quarterly reports to provide information to the membership
not just the reports to us, the Business Committee. However, I have noticed today that many of the
comments and questions should made directly to the program and are generally day-to-day activities
not necessarily discussed at an Oneida Business Committee meeting. In addition, a report on our
agenda is not necessarily an opportunity to request reports to be developed and sent from these
programs. The General Manager and his staff have contact information available, and those types of
requests and questions can be directed to that area. Thank you.

Good day,
Annually the InterTribal Buffalo Council (ITBC) offers grant opportunities to its members. These
grants can vary from $19,500 to $75,000. The Oneida Nation has applied for and received these
grants every year and the funding from this program has been used to expand the farm, buy
equipment and conduct farm repairs.
As part of their granting process the ITBC requires that each applicant provide a resolution from
their governing body to demonstrate their Tribe’s support for the ITBC and the herd
development program.
Please see the attached resolution.

RE:
Request resolution to submit Home Health Agency application.
The Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD) is submitting the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) application 855A for obtaining Oneida Home Health Agency
status to seek reimbursement from CMS for certain Home Health Services. Becoming a
licensed Home Health Agency will allow us to recapture funds to support and expand upon
home care services offered to community members.
The CMS application requires an “authorized official” be identified. “Authorized Official” is
defined in the application and means an appointed official to whom the Nation has granted
the legal authority to enroll it in the Medicare program and to commit the Nation to fully
abide by the statutes, regulations and program instructions of the Medicare program. The
application requires tribal organizations to attest that the tribal organization will be legally
and financially responsible in the event that there is an outstanding debt owed to CMS.
As the OCHD Director of Operations, Debra Danforth is responsible for the management
and oversight of the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division. She has been identified as
an appropriate Authorized Official. The Authorized Official also has the authority to make
changes or updates to the organization’s status in the Medicare program. An Authorized
Official binds the provider to all the requirements listed in the Certification Statement. Only
an Authorized Official has the authority to sign the initial enrollment application and the
enrollment that must be submitted as part of the periodic revalidation process. By signing
the application, the Authorized Official agrees to immediately notify the Medicare fee-forservice contractor if any information furnished on this application is not true, correct, or
complete. Additionally, the Authorized Official agrees to notify the Medicare fee-for-service
contractor of any future changes to the information changed in this form after the provider is
enrolled in Medicare, in accordance with the timeframes established in the Federal
Register.
The Business Committee (BC) Resolution process is a formal appointment mechanism
which recognizes the appointment of the Authorized Official and codifies their authority to
bind the Nation. This process is consistent with other such delegations of authority made
by the Business Committee

Resolution - “2023 Broadband Expansion grant Resolution”
______________________________________________________________________________
Good day,
The Digital Technology Systems Division (DTS) is partnering with Nsight LLC on a grant
application for the 2023 Broadband Expansion Grant being offered by the Wisconsin Public
Service Commission. This grant requires that the Tribe support and participate in this
application. As the recipient of the services to be offered by this project it is requested that the
Oneida Business Committee pass a resolution of support on behalf of the Oneida community.
The grant will support the last mile expansion of broadband on to the reservation to serve areas
of the reservation that either have no broadband service or have broadband service that is
below the states minimum standard. The funding request for this grant will, dependent on the
completed budget, be in excess of $200,000. But at this time the grant application is not
complete and the purpose of this resolution is to show community support for the broadband
project. We respectfully request that the Business Committee support this resolution.

RE:
Consideration of resolution entitled Setting Supervision and Management of Direct
Reports to the Oneida Business Committee
BACKGROUND
At the January 25, 2023, regular Business Committee I was directed to update BC resolution
09-23-20-A Setting Supervision and Management of Direct Reports to the Oneida Business
Committee and bring back to the February 8, 2023, regular Business Committee meeting.
Attached is the updated resolution for consideration. I’ve forwarded it to Human Resources to
review for accuracy of title and job description numbers; if they identify errors, correction may be
needed.
I did not request the statement of effect (SOE) in order to receive it back from the Legislative
Reference Office (LRO) prior to the submission deadline for the February 8th meeting agenda; if
the LRO has space in their workload to complete the SOE prior to the February 8th meeting, the
SOE will be provided as handout. If not, consideration of the resolution will need to be deferred;
this is not an urgent or time sensitive matter.
