Oneida Business Committee Agenda Request

6. Cover Memo:

Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:

On August 27, 2019, the following request was submitted to the Oneida Business Committee Officers by Bobbi

Webster:

"For some time I have thought about requesting the OBC to recognize and honor Gordy McLester for the

decades of work and dedication he has demonstrated to the Oneida Nation and greater community. I have

written a brief description of his accomplishment, to my knowledge.

I first remember Gordy singing with a small drum group in front of the Civic Center as we dedicated the

opening of that facility back about 40 or more years ago. I was one of the dancers along with others. Gordy

has been a catalyst for both change and maintaining our traditions as Oneida people.

One quote I remember and admire from him was when we were doing some work on the history of Oneida

and there were actually arguments, if you can imagine that…. About what is a traditional Oneida songs.

Gordy said, “I was raised here and in the Holy Apostles Church and Oneida singers are a part of my

traditions, I don’t care what anyone says.” That struck me as being right on. We define our own traditions

by how we are raised.

I would like to respectfully ask the OBC to publicly recognize and honor this man for his contributions to our

nation. I know there are many people in our history who have contributed much as well, I just humbly

request we do this soon."

After consulting with the Oneida Business Committee, there was general consensus to support this request for

a special recognition. Bobbi Webster, Public Affairs Director, has coordinated an recognition to take place at

the start of the October 9, 2019, regular Business Committee meeting.

Re:

Recommendation for use of the Economic Diversification and Community

Development Set‐aside Fund – ED#19‐017 Food Innovation Center ‐ Business Plan

Background

For several years now the Internal Services Division, with the support of the Community &

Economic Development staff has been exploring the concept and feasibility of a Food Innovation

Center. This effort has previously been funded through granting from the United States

Economic Development Administration. Through these efforts, there has been a concept study

completed by the University of Wisconsin, and a Feasibility Study completed by a consultant

team. In addition to conceptualizing the services offered and analyzing the feasibility of these

services, both studies have produced space needs listings, adjacency requirements and have

generated conceptual architectural plans.

Current Request

This current request is to further develop this concept to include drafting a formal Business Plan

which takes a deeper look into the planning for the possible operationality of concept. In

addition to other deliverables, this Business Plan will determine the pro forma financial models

which will allow the decision makers to closely analyze the potential Profit/Loss of this concept.

Additionally, the sources of funding for construction and operations will be analyzed, along with

examining in detail the projected cash flow, income statement and balance sheet for the

proposed business endeavor.

Findings after Review

Developing a Business Plan for a proposed concept appears to be a prudent use of the

Community & Economic Development Set‐aside Funds to determine the future fiscal impacts of

moving forward with the Food Innovation Center Project. The Business Plan produced by this

effort will allow the Oneida Business Committee and other decision makers, to determine if this

project further developed and funded in the Fiscal Year 2021 Oneida Nation Capital

Improvement Project (CIP) Budget. Ultimately, the proposed projects for the FY`21 CIP budget

will be presented at the January 2020 Annual General Tribal Council (GTC) Meeting for GTC

ranking of new/expansion CIP projects. Although the projected date for completion of this

Business Plan is March 2020, if it could be completed prior to the January 2020 GTC Annual

meeting, depending on the results of the plan, it could increase the likelihood of being included

in the proposed FY`21 CIP Project budget.

In Closing

This expenditure of business planning funds is a good use of the C&ED Set‐aside Funds which

will help determine the financial viability of this proposed future CIP project, which will also

have operational budget implications. I recommend using these funds to further analyze the

financial proformas of this project.
