Danforth, Intergovernmental Affairs Director Primary Requestor: Brandon Wisneski, Self-Governance Manager Revised: 08/25/2023 Page 2 of 2 Public Packet 48 of 338 Memorandum To: Oneida Business Committee From: Brandon Wisneski, Self-Governance Manager Date: 8/14/2024 Re: Adoption of Resolution entitled Submission of ISDEAA Section 105(l) Lease Proposals to the Department of Interior Presented for the Business Committee’s consideration is a resolution authorizing submission of ISDEAA Section 105(l) lease funding proposals to the Department of Interior. The purpose of adopting the resolution and submitting 105(l) lease proposals is to secure additional federal funding for the Nation. Under Section 105(l) of the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) Public Law 93-638, the Secretary of Interior is required to enter into a lease with a tribe, upon the tribe’s request, for a facility the tribe uses to carry out the tribe’s responsibilities under a contract or compact, commonly referred to as a “105(l) lease.” The 105 (l) leases are not traditional leases. They are facility cost agreements that compensate Tribes for facility operational expenses associated with using a facility to administer ISDEAA contracted/compacted services. 105(l) leases do not grant right of entry to the Department of Interior. Once negotiated, 105(l) leases are renewable annually so long as the Nation continues to use the facility to deliver compacted programs, services, functions or activities (PSFAs). The 105(l) leases will provide a new, annual source of federal funding to support the Nation’s facility expenses and delivery of the Nation’s programs to our community. Oneida Nation is a Title IV Self-Governance tribe with a compact and funding agreement with the Department of Interior under the ISDEAA. The Nation may submit 105(l) lease proposals for any of the Nation’s facilities (or portion of facilities) that meet the following requirements: • • • The Nation holds title to, a leasehold interest in, or a trust interest in a specific facility; The Nation is using the facility to administer and deliver services under an approved ISDEAA 638 compact or contract or 297 grant; The Programs, Functions, Services, and Activities (PFSAs) that the Tribe is conducting in the facility must be in an approved Self-Governance or Self-Determination contract/compact or 297 grant. Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 49 of 338 The Nation has had 105(l) leases in place with the Indian Health Service for its healthcare facilities since FY2019. Pursuing 105(l) leases through Department of Interior for the Nation’s BIAcompacted programs will bring in an additional source of federal funding that the Nation is entitled to under federal law. The Office of Self-Governance is working with the Nation’s departments to identify eligible facilities, gather required documentation, and develop proposal packages for submission to the Department of Interior. One of the required documents the Nation must submit with its lease proposals is a tribal resolution. This resolution is presented today for the Oneida Business Committee’s consideration. Once the terms and compensation for each lease proposal have been negotiated between the Nation and Department of Interior, the 105(l) leases for each facility will be presented to the Oneida Business Committee for consideration and approval.

Submission: Authorized Sponsor: Jameson Wilson, Councilmember Primary Requestor: Clorissa N. Leeman, LRO Senior Staff Attorney Revised: 04/25/2023 Page 2 of 2 Public Packet 84 of 338 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Oneida Business Committee Jameson Wilson, Legislative Operating Committee Chairman August 1, 2024 Certification of Amendments to the Landlord-Tenant Law Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements The Legislative Operating Committee reviewed the certification packet provided for the amendments to the Landlord-Tenant Law Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements (“Rule”). The Legislative Operating Committee is responsible for certifying a proposed rule after determining the authorized agency has complied with the requirements for certification stated in section 106.7-2 of the Administrative Rulemaking law, and forwarding the rule to the Oneida Business Committee for consideration of adoption. [1 O.C. 106.7-3]. Certification by the Legislative Operating Committee means:  The certification packet provided by the Comprehensive Housing Division and Oneida Land Commission for the Rule contained all documentation required by the Administrative Rulemaking law for a complete administrative record;  The promulgation of the amendments to the Rule complied with the procedural requirements contained in the Administrative Rulemaking law; and  The amendments to the Rule did not exceed the rulemaking authority granted under the law for which the Rule is being promulgated. [1 O.C. 106.7-2]. The Legislative Operating Committee certified the Rule on August 1, 2024, finding good cause under section 106.7-1(a) of the Administrative Rulemaking law to certify the Rule, despite being presented for certification outside of the time limits allowed by Law upon closure of the public comment period. [1 O.C. 106.7-1(a)]. The purpose of the Rule is to provide additional eligibility requirements, selection procedures and general requirements that govern the Comprehensive Housing Division’s income-based rental programs. [Rule 2.1-1]. The mission of the income-based housing program is to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing in safe, sanitary, and healthy environments within the reservation. Id. The Rule provides that pursuant to the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA), in order to be eligible for an income-based rental agreement, the household must qualify as low income at the time of initial occupancy. [Rule 2.4-2]. The Rule further provides that in order to qualify as low-income, applicants’ household income may not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the regional gross annual income based on the data from Outagamie County. Id. The proposed amendments to the Rule remove the provisions on how the Comprehensive Housing Division calculates income, and instead provides that the Comprehensive Housing Division shall Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 85 of 338 calculate income in accordance with 24 CFR § 5.609 and shall provide the effective language to the Legislative Reference Office to be published as Appendix 01 to this Rule so that applicable income calculations are publicly available on the Oneida Register. [Rule 2.4-2]. The Rule was developed in accordance with the Landlord-Tenant law, which was adopted for purposes of provide mechanisms for protecting the rights of the landlords and tenants of the Nation’s rental programs. [6 O.C. 611.1-1]. The Landlord-Tenant law (“the Law”) confers administrative rulemaking authority to the Comprehensive Housing Division and the Oneida Land Commission as authorized by the Administrative Rulemaking law. [6 O.C. 611.4]. The Law states that the Comprehensive Housing Division shall provide residential rental programs to low-income members of the Nation and their families. [6 O.C. 611.4-1(b)]. The Oneida Land Commission and the Comprehensive Housing Division are required to jointly establish rules naming said programs and providing the specific requirements and regulations that apply to each program. [6 O.C. 611.41]. Additionally, the Land Commission and the Comprehensive Housing Division are required to jointly develop rules governing the selection of applicants for the issuance of rental agreements. [6 O.C. 611.4-3]. The Law also provides where such rental requirements relate solely to premises administered pursuant to federal funding, the Comprehensive Housing Division has sole authority. [6 O.C. 611.3-1(g)]. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Housing Division has sole rulemaking authority for these rules. The amendments to the Rule are now ready to be considered by the Oneida Business Committee for adoption. The amendments to the Rule would become effective immediately upon adoption by the Oneida Business Committee in accordance with section 106.9-1 of the Administrative Rulemaking law. Requested Action Consider the adoption of amendments to the Landlord-Tenant Law Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements. Page 2 of 2 Public Packet 86 of 338 Comprehensive Housing Division Income Based & General Rental Housing Programs MEMORANDUM TO: Legislative Operating Committee FROM: Lisa Rauschenbach, CHD Director Krystal John, OLO Staff Attorney DATE: July 2, 2024 SUBJECT: Request for Certification of Procedural Compliance Landlord-Tenant Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements The Comprehensive Housing Division, as defined in the Landlord Tenant law, is exercising its rulemaking authority to revise Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements to align with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 24 Part 5.609) that has redefined the definition of household income used for federally funded housing programs. In accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking law, a public meeting was held for this rule on December 13, 2023, for which the comment period expired on December 20, 2023. The following attachments are included for your review: 1. Rule No. 2 – Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements 2. Comprehensive Housing Division (Oneida Housing Authority) Approval 3. Summary Report 4. Public Meeting Notice 5. Copy of Public Meeting Published in the Kalihwisaks – Page 31 of the December 2023 issue. 6. Public Meeting Sign-in Sheet 7. Public meeting transcription from the December 13, 2023, Public Meeting 8. Public Meeting Comment Memorandum Following certification, this rule shall become effective immediately. I understand that pursuant to the Administrative Rulemaking Law there are requirements for bringing the request for certification forward within 6 months of the public meeting unless otherwise approved by the Oneida Business Committee and that the timeline for that expired June 20, 2024. There was a misunderstanding that occurred between CHD staff and the Oneida Law Office wherein each party thought the other had submitted the certification materials for LOC’s consideration in January/February, which was well within the 6 month time period allowed by the law. CHD and the Oneida Law Office are hereby requesting that the OBC consider adopting this rule without requiring an additional public meeting for the following reasons: 1. There was little to no public interest/comments received during the first round of public comments and CHD has not heard any concerns outside of the comment period; 2. The revisions are NOT DISCRETIONARY. The changes to the rule are required to be made to comply with changes in federal HUD regulations regarding how income calculated for income-based housing where federal funding subsidizes the cost of housing. The changes in the federal rules became effective January 1, 2024. Public Packet 87 of 338 Please contact Lisa Rauschenbach, CHD Director, with any questions you may have or if any additional information is required. Public Packet 88 of 338 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD December 13, 2023 at 10:00 A.M. IN THE CHD Conference Room 2913 Commission Street, Oneida, WI 54155 In accordance with the Administrative Rulemaking Law, the Comprehensive Housing Division (CHD) is hosting this Public Meeting to gather feedback from the community regarding the following rule: Landlord-Tenant Rule No. 2 Income Based Rental Program Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements This is a proposal to amend the rule by:  Updating the maximum income calculation requirements to bring Oneida’s rule into compliance with amendments adopted to 24 CFR § 5.609 required to become effective on January 1, 2024.  The CFR previously approached income from a list of things that were counted as income and now approaches it by counting all income from all sources except for the listed deductions from income. To obtain copies of the Public Meeting documents for this proposal, please visit www.oneida-nsn.gov/Register/PublicMeetings. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OPEN UNTIL December 20, 2023 During the Public Comment Period, all interested persons may submit written comments and/or a transcript of any testimony/spoken comments made during the Public Meeting.
