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

On 10-16-84 the Oneida Business Committee established resolution BC-10-16-84-A which delegated specific

responsibility to the Oneida Trust Committee to develop a system of identification by issuance of picture

identification cards.

On 10-26-84 at a Special meeting, a motion was passed which reads: In resolution 10-16-84-A, in the last

resolved, item #6 states: "signatures of Chairman of the Trust Committee." It was moved to amend the

Resolution to read; "signatures of the Tribal Chairman." Motion carried. The resolution was not amended.

On 6-28-88 the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee (formerly Oneida Trust Committee) approved a policy titled

Policy & Procedures: Individual Identification Cards.

Since the inception of issuing identification cards, necessary changes have been made, primarily to prevent

abuse and misuse.

On 2-27-18 the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee motioned to submit an amended BC-10-16-84-A resolution

to the Oneida Business Committee requesting amendments primarily for added security features but also

includes the 10-26-84 motion.

The Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee respectfully requests the Oneida Business Committee approve

amended BC Resolution 10-16-84-A.

Amendment of Resolution # BC-10-16-84-A; Responsibility for Tribal Identification Cards

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe

recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,

of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and

WHEREAS,

at a Special Oneida Business Committee meeting held on October 16, 1984, resolution #

BC-10-16-84-A was adopted which delegates to the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee

the responsibility to develop a system for the issuance of picture identification cards to

Tribal members who request such cards; and

WHEREAS,

resolution # BC-10-16-84-A identified the minimum required information for the cards

including: name, birthdate, enrollment number, physical description, signature of card

holder, and signature of Chairman of Trust Committee and Enrollment Officer; and

WHEREAS,

at an Oneida Business Committee meeting held on October 26, 1984, resolution # BC10-16-84-A was discussed and the Committee moved to amend the last resolved item in

the resolution to change the requirement of a signature of the Chairperson of the Trust

Committee to the signature of the Tribal Chairperson; and

WHEREAS,

the motion made on October 26, 1984 was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee;

however, the actual resolution was never amended to reflect the change; and

WHEREAS,

there is now a need to update the responsibilities for Tribal Identification Cards.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee is recognized as

having the specific responsibility to develop a system of identification by the issuance of picture

identification cards and non-picture certification cards (an unofficial form of identification used mainly by

Tribal members who reside out of state that are unable to obtain an official Tribal identification card).

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee shall adopt

procedures that will secure the manner in which Tribal identification cards and certification cards are

issued to prevent abuse and misuse. Other Tribal entities, such as Retail, may also develop procedures

to prevent abuse and misuse of Tribal identification cards and certification cards.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Tribal identification cards shall, at a minimum,

contain the following information: photograph; name; birthdate; Tribal roll number; issue date; expiration

date; address; physical description; signature of card holder; signature of Trust Enrollment Department

representative; signature of Tribal Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson; and security features, if available.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that certification cards shall, at a minimum, contain

the following information: name, birthdate, Tribal roll number, issue date, signature of Trust Enrollment

Department representative, and signature of Tribal Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Trust Enrollment Department may collect a

fee, as set by the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee, for acquiring an original or duplicate Tribal

identification card or certification card. The Trust Enrollment Department shall post a fee schedule and if

the fee is ever changed by the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee, the Trust Enrollment Department

shall provide public notice of the fee change by publishing at least two (2) times in the Tribal newspaper

prior to the change taking effect. All fees shall be paid to the Trust Enrollment Department.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Tribal identification cards expire ten (10) years

from the identified person's next birthday after issuance, unless the member has been officially removed

from the membership roll in accordance with applicable law. An expired Tribal identification card shall not

be accepted as valid proof of identity at General Tribal Council meetings, Tribal elections, or other Tribal

events requiring use of Tribal identification cards. All previously issued Tribal identification cards that did

not have an expiration date shall expire two (2) years after the date of this resolution. This expiration

shall be communicated to Tribal members by the Trust Enrollment Department.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that Tribal identification cards for minors shall be in a

different format than cards for those that have attained the age of eighteen (18). Minors without another

form of picture identification, such as a State issued identification card or a school issued identification

card, shall be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian in order to be issued a Tribal identification

card. Parents or legal guardians shall present an acceptable form of picture identification prior to the

Department issuing the minor a card. Tribal identification cards for minors shall expire either ten (10)

years from the identified person’s next birthday after issuance or on the child’s eighteenth (18th) birthday,

whichever occurs earlier.

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee

FROM:

Robert J. Collins II, Staff Attorney

DATE:

February 16,2018

SUBJECT: Membership Ordinance- Tribal Identification Cards Rule

On January 31, 2018, the Legislative Reference Office (LRO) issued a Statement of Effect on the

proposed Tribal Identification Cards rule that concluded that the rule "exceeds the rulemaking

authority granted by the Membership Ordinance, and therefore conflicts with the requirements of

the Administrative Rulemaking law." The reason for the conflict was identified as follows:

"The Membership Ordinance does not discuss the use of tribal identification cards by the

Nation, and does not delegate rulemaking authority to the OTEC to create procedures

relating to the issuance of Tribal identification cards. Although tribal identification cards

can only be issued to members of the Nation if there is an accurate Oneida tribal roll, the

act of issuing tribal identification cards does not assist in OTEC' s responsibility of

maintaining the official rolls of the Nation. The Oneida tribal roll must already be

accurately maintained in order for tribal identification cards to be properly issued to

members of the Nation. Procedures relating to tribal identification cards do not contribute

to the maintenance of an accurate and confidential Oneida tribal roll. Instead, tribal

identification cards are used to verify already accurate emollment in the Nation for the

purpose of identification or use of benefits and other purposes. Therefore, this Rule

exceeds the rulemaking authority granted to OTEC by the Membership Ordinance."

Based on this conclusion, which was a possibility that had been previously identified in our

discussions regarding the proposed rule, my recommendation is that we stop pursuing the

adoption of the rule. As Resolution 10-16-84-A delegated -the responsibility to the Oneida Trust

Enrollment Committee to develop a system of identification through the issuance of picture

identification cards, my recommendation is that we attempt to amend the resolution (proposed

amended resolution is attached) and then make a request to the LRO to consider drafting a Tribal

Identification Cards law which would address the "Taking Possession of Identification Cards"

section of the draft rule and additional enforcement mechanisms to deal with fake or altered

identification cards.

Please contact me with any questions that you may have regarding this issue.

This resolution amends Trust Committee resolution 10-16-84-A, which delegated responsibility

to the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee to develop a system for the issuance of picture

identification cards to Tribal members.

Submitted by: Clarissa N Santiago, StaffAttorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: February.28, 2018

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

During a special Oneida Business Committee meeting held on October 16, 1984, Trust

Committee resolution 10-16-84-A was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee for the

purpose of delegating to the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee the responsibility to develop a

system for the issuance of picture identification cards to Tribal members who request such cards.

Resolution 10-16-84-A identified the minimum required information for the cards including:

name, birthdate, enrollment number, physical description, signature of card holder, and signature

of Chairman ofTrust Committee and Enrollment Officer.

Resolution 10-16-84-A was later discussed at an Oneida Business Committee meeting held on

October 26, 1984, where the Oneida Business Committee moved to amend the last resolved item

in the resolution to change the requirement of a signature of the Chairperson of the Trust

Committee to the signature of the Tribal Chairperson. The motion made on October 26, 1984,

was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee; however, the actual resolution was never

amended to reflect the change

This resolution amends resolution 10-16-84-A to update the Oneida Trust Enrollment

Committee's responsibility to develop a system of identification by the issuance of picture

identification cards by:

• Requiring the Oneida Trust Enrollment Committee to adopt procedures that will secure

the mmmer in which Tribal identification cards and certification cards are issued to

prevent abuse and misuse, and allowing other Tribal entities, st1ch as Retail, to develop

procedures to prevent abuse and misuse of Tribal identification cards and certification

cards;

• Amending the minimum required information for the Tribal identification cards to

include: photograph; name; birthdate; Tribal roll number; issue date; expiration date;

address; physical description; signature of card holder; signature of Trust Enrollment

Depattment representative; signature of Tribal Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson; and

security features, if available;

Allowing the issuance of Tribal certification cards that contain the following information:

name, birthdate, Tribal roll number, issue date, signature of Trust Enrollment Department

representative, and signature of Tribal Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson;

Allowing the Oneida Trust Enrollment Department to set and collect a fee for acquiring

an original or duplicate Tribal identification or certification card;

Requiring that Tribal identification cards expire ten (10) years from the identified

person's next birthday after issuance;

Clarifying that the Oneida Trust Enrollment Department will communicate to Tribal

members that expired Tribal identification card shall not be accepted as valid proof of

identity at General Tribal Council meetings, Tribal elections, or other Tribal events

requiring use of Tribal identification cards and that all previously issued Tribal

identification cards that did not have an expiration date shall expire two (2) years after

the date of this resolution; and

Requiring that Tribal identification cards for minors shall be in a different format than for

those that have attained the age of eighteen (18), and setting forth parameters for the

issuance and expiration of minor Tribal identification cards.

Conclusion

Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation's laws.

MATCH:

SYNOPSIS:

In 2010, the Department of Justice launched its first Coordinated Tribal

Assistance Solicitation (CTAS), which combined the Department of Justice’s

existing Tribal government-specific competitive solicitations into a single

solicitation requiring only one application from each tribe or tribal consortium.

This approach provides federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia the

opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and

victimization issues.

The current Tribal programs applying are as follows:

Oneida Police Department will use funding to purchase squad equipment such as in-squad

cameras, body worn cameras, mobile data computers, radar systems, and tasers.

Oneida TAP Office will use funding to enhance the capacity to collect and analyze date to better

understand and define priority crime and public safety issues and to support successful

implementation of the strategic plan.

Oneida Judiciary will be using funding to develop a healing to wellness court with the goal of

reducing incarceration due to opioid, alcohol and other substance abuse related crimes.

Oneida Business Committee Agenda Request

6. Cover Memo:

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

The Oneida Business Committee requested amendments to resolution # BC-09-27-17-I regarding FTE caps to

allocate FTEs to each division. Geraldine Danforth forwarded the attached report regarding FTEs budgeted and

actual, which was used to allocate FTEs.

The resolution makes three amendments.

1. Revises the FTE calculation by excluding student employment. The FTE is intended to recognize employment

across multiple FYs. Student employment is a single year expense and does not need to be monitored on a long

term basis as it is addressed within the budgeting process.

2. Allocates FTEs across the organization.

3. Increases the FTE cap to reflect the budgeted amount while requiring every posting to identify that a

workforce planning assessment, strategic workforce planning has been conducted, and alternatives/options for

the position and programming has been conducted. This moves the analysis regarding employment to the

posting and potentially closer to the programming activities.

The proposed resolution would be effective according to the date set in the resolution.

Amending Resolution # BC-09-27-17-I, Strategic Workforce Planning – Budget – Implementation for Oneida Nation

Page 2 of 3

WHEREAS,

the FTE cap was reached in December 2017 and the Human Resources Department

became responsible for managing posting and hiring in accordance with the resolution

which resulted in the employment base being reduced below the FTE cap and re-opening

employment opportunities; and

WHEREAS,

the organization has requested the Oneida Business Committee to reconsider the FTE

cap and identify division- or department-based allocations of the FTE cap; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee continues to believe that the FTE is one element of the

overall goal of strategic planning, budgeting, and managing the limited financial

resources to best meet the needs of the members;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the FTE calculation in resolution # BC-09-27-17-I, Resolve

#3, is amended to exclude the following categories of employees – JTPA summer workers, TANF youth

workers, high school workers, college interns, and summer youth and college workers – as these

temporary employees do not have a long-term budget impact of a permanent/regular employee of the

Nation.1

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Oneida Business Committee identifies the following as areas which

shall be allocated a specific number of the FTEs to meet a need identified as supporting a revenue

generating activity or health/safety activity.

 Gaming operations as a revenue generator is allocated 1100 FTEs.

 Security Department of the Oneida Police Department as an integral part of the gaming

operations is allocated 230 FTEs.

 Comprehensive Health Division as a provider of health services is allocated 362 FTEs.

 Public Works Division as responsible to maintain roads, buildings, and custodian of the Nation is

allocated 177 FTEs.

 Retail Division as a revenue generator is allocated 146 FTEs.

 Governmental Services Division as the programming responsible for providing health and safety

support to members is allocated 328 FTEs.

 Non-divisional (BC) – 103 FTEs

 Police Commission – 33 FTEs

 Community and Economic Development Division – 23 FTEs

 Chief Financial Officer Non-divisional – 63 FTEs

 Comprehensive Housing Division – 43 FTEs

 Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Communications – 10 FTEs

 Environmental Health, Land, and Safety – 46 FTEs

 Farm Enterprise – 19 FTEs

 Internal Services – 104 FTEs

 Emergency Management – 1 FTE

 Non-divisional (GTC) – 203 FTEs

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Oneida Business Committee changes the cap from 2700 to 2991 and

directs that prior to every posting, the director or supervisor shall identify the workforce level assessment

regarding that position, and the strategic workforce planning associated with the position, and finally what

other options and alternatives have been reviewed or attempted. The Oneida Business Committee

believes that increasing the FTE cap is not in the long-term best interests of the Oneida Nation and

directs every supervisor, manager, and division director to complete strategic workforce planning and

review and updating of current programming/operations to meet current needs and goals in a more

efficient and cost-effective manner.

1

For an example of this impact, the February 27, 2018, Employee Count identified 2666.5 FTEs. If the group of

employees above were excluded, it would reduce the total count by 2 FTEs creating a new count of 2664.5 FTEs.

Statement of Effect

Amending BC 9-27-17-I Strategic Workforce Planning – Budget – Implementation for Oneida

Nation (Regarding FTE Cap)

Summary

On September 27, 2017, the OBC adopted a resolution which capped the Nation’s

workforce at the equivalent of 2700 full-time employees (FTEs), and identified three categories

of employees who would not count toward that cap. This resolution amends that resolution by:

 Increasing the nation’s workforce cap to 2991 FTEs

 Identifying six additional categories of employees who do not count toward the FTE cap

 Identifying 17 specific areas within the organization and allocating a specific number of

FTEs for each of those areas

 Adding new requirements that must be followed before any position can be posted

 Directing every supervisor, manager, and division director to:

o complete strategic workforce planning, and

o review and update current programming/operations to meet current needs and

goals in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.

This resolution also makes a policy statement, resolving that the OBC believes that

increasing the FTE cap is not in the long term best-interests of the Nation.

Submitted by: Taniquelle Thurner, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: March 8, 2018

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

Background: BC Resolution 9-27-17-I

On September 27, 2017, the Oneida Business Committee (OBC) adopted BC Resolution

9-27-17-I, which identified long-term strategic workforce planning goals and required mid-term

workforce level assessments. That resolution also directed immediate action, requiring

employment level caps to be adopted each year until the long-term strategic workforce plans and

mid-term workforce level assessments are completed.

That resolution also adopted a workforce cap for Fiscal Year 2018, capping the Nation’s

workforce at 2700 full-time employees (FTEs), counting half-time employees as 75% of one

FTE, and part-time employees as 50% of one FTE, and adding that layoffs, sub-reliefs and those

on a leave of absence do not count towards the cap.

Proposed Resolution

This resolution would increase the cap from 2700 to 2991 FTEs. This resolution states

that the cap of 2700 FTEs was reached in December 2017, but in a footnote, it adds that as of

February 27, 2018, the count had dropped to 2666.5 FTEs.

Currently, only layoffs, sub-reliefs, and those on a leave of absence are excluded and do

not count toward the FTE cap. Because “these temporary employees do not have a long-term

budget impact of a permanent/regular employee”, this resolution would also exclude six other

Page 1 of 2

Public Packet

52 of 338

categories of workers from counting toward the FTE cap: JTPA summer workers, TANF youth

workers, high school and college workers, summer youth workers and college interns.

Currently, the FTE cap is one number that applies to the entire workforce. This resolution

instead identifies 17 specific areas, and allocates a specific FTE cap for each area (together, these

17 area FTE caps equal the 2991 FTE cap).

Currently, when the 2700 FTE cap is reached, BC-9-27-17-I authorizes the HRD Area

Manager to place a hold on all position postings, regardless of where they are in the hiring

process. The HRD Area Manager is also authorized to grant exceptions to the FTE cap for Retail

and Gaming Operations. This resolution does not appear to change those requirements.

Through this resolution, the OBC is also making a policy statement - that the OBC

believes that increasing the FTE cap is not in the long-term best interests of the Nation. In

conjunction with this, the proposed resolution directs that prior to every posting, the director or

supervisor must identify:

 the workforce level assessment regarding that position

 the strategic workforce planning associated with the position, and

 what other options and alternatives have been reviewed or attempted.

Through this resolution, the OBC is also directing every supervisor, manager and division

director to:

 complete strategic workforce planning, and

 review and update current programming/operations to meet current needs and goals in a

more efficient and cost-effective manner.

Conclusion

Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Oneida Business Committee Meeting Law: 6 Month Review

March 14, 2018

t\J -

Introduction

The Oneida Business Committee (OBC} adopted the Oneida Business Committee Meetings Law

(the law) on July 26, 2017. At the time of adoption, the OBC directed the Legislative Operating

Committee (LOC} to complete a review of the law six months after implementation. There was

also a request that the Intergovernmental Affairs and Communications Department assist with

communicating the changes to OBC meetings to the public. This report is meant to evaluate the

law and review its implementation.

Timeline

A "Business Committee Meetings Law" was added to the LOC's Active Files List (AFL) in

September 2015. The following is a summary of actions taken by the LOC and the OBC.

Implementation of the Law

The Intergovernmental Affai rs and Communications Department (IGAC) was tasked with

communicating the law to the public. The Legislative Reference Office (LRO) worked with IGAC

and the team agreed that a short video might work well . The video format was very successful.

This particular video clip had the highest reach and engagement for all of Oneida's video clips in

the last year. IGAC estimates that the engagement and reach rates were double than the typical

rates from Oneida's videos on Facebook. The video was posted just before the September 13,

2017 OBC meeting, which was the first time the law was used.

Evaluation of the Law

The evaluation of the law is summative, meaning it was done after implementation- not during.

The information that was collected and analyzed should be considered for future amendments,

standard operating procedures, and as lessons learned.

Method 1: Time as an Indicator

The length of OBC meeting before and after the law was implemented were compa red. The

average OBC meeting for the six months prior (Jan.-July) to implementation was 402 .3 minutes.

The average length after implementation (Aug-Dec.) was 385.7 minutes. This means that for the

six months following implementation, OBC meetings became shorter by an average of about

sixteen minutes. This equates to a time saving of about 6 hours per year (based on 23

meetings). See Charts 1 and 2. It should be noted that the length of meetings is only one

indicator. A shorter meeting isn't necessarily a sign of an efficient and effective meeting.

Method 2: OBC Meeting Observation

The February 14, 2018 OBC meeting was evaluated against the content of the law by the LRO

Director. The entire meeting was observed. The meeting was chaired by Brandon Stevens, OBC

Vice Chairman.

The law prohibits; use of profanity, interrupting others, heckling or threatening people,

disrespect of property, or behavior that disrupts the meeting or endangers the safety of other

attendees (117.8-1(a). The law also requires that any information received at any meeting of

the Oneida Business Committee that implicates the integrity, honesty, or morality of a member

of the Nation or an employee be stopped immediately by the meeting chairperson 117.5-1(c).

On the day of the meeting observation, there was conduct that could be considered noncompliant with the law including;

1. Interrupting others and disrupting the meeting- meeting attendees speaking

loudly from the back of the room while others were talking.

2. Heckling- meeting attendee at the microphone, pointing at specific people in the

room and calling their personal behavior into question.

3. Accusations that called the integrity of OBC members into question were made by

meeting attendees.

Debrief with Oneida Business Committee

The LRO Director met with OBC members and support staff in a work session to discuss the law

and the February 14 OBC meeting. There were some general themes and some specific

recommendations made.

Challenges

The primary problem is the public comment process. The law allows a speaker to comment one

time at the beginning of the agenda item- before any discussion has taken place. The meeting

chair(s) have found that after the initial discussion has been had- speakers may then have more

to ask or contribute- but they are not allowed to speak again. To address this, the chairs have

been treating additional motions to the topic as a new agenda item, affording speakers another

opportunity.

Benefits

1. OBC members and support staff agree that the five minute time limit is a valuable tool, and

that the ability to approve extensions to the time limit is important. The time limit may also be

the element that is leading to speakers staying on topic.

2. There was also agreement during the debrief that the meetings have become more efficient

and effective.

Page 4 of 6

Public Packet

76 of 338

Recommendations for Managing OBC Meetings

1. Review the new meeting procedures at the beginning of each meeting, so attendees will

know what to expect.

2. Use language similar to the Legislative Operating Committee's public meeting scriptexplaining that there will be a five minute limitation for speakers on each agenda item. The LOC

uses this language;

"The LOC may impose a time limit for all speakers pursuant to section 16.8-3{c) of the

Legislative Procedures Act. As the presiding LOC member, I am imposing a time limit of 5

minutes. This time limit shall be applied equally to all persons."

3. Points of Order should be used more frequently by OBC members. This tool can help keep

conversation respectful and on track, while alleviating the chairperson from being the only

person to control the meeting.

4. Calls for the Question may also be used more frequently by OBC members. If a member

believes that enough discussion has been had- calling for the question will take the item

directly to a vote.

5. Help attendees follow along by frequently announcing what page of the meeting packet is

being discussed.

6. Have some discussion or explanation in meetings- as to what the OBC meetings are for; to

conduct the business of the Nation, and that attendees are not General Tribal Council members

unless the General Tribal Council is in session.

7. Have someone other than the chair do the timekeeping for speakers.

Amendments to Consider in the Future

1. Expand the Responsibilities section to clarify what is expected of the OBC members. The

current language describes the responsibilities of the "attendees" {117.8}. That term is

intended to include everyone in the meeting, but clarification could be made.

2. Clarify how the Business Committee decides to remove a person from a meeting. Currently,

the law states that "the Oneida Business Committee shall decide if the individual shall be

removed from the meeting" {117.9-2}. This language could be expanded to indicate how that

could happen- by majority vote, by motion, approval of the chair etc.

3. Add language that spells out commonly used Robert's Rules of Order actions; Points of order,

calls for the question, etc.

Conclusions

The implementation of the Oneida Business Committee Meetings Law has resulted in some

success and some unintended consequences.

Length of Meetings

The length of meetings has been analyzed. Meetings have been on average, 16 minutes

shorter than before the law was implemented. Qualitatively speaking, the OBC Meeting

debrief session revealed that OBC members and support staff feel that meetings have

become more effective and efficient. No quantitative data was collected that would

support or refute that assessment.

Public Comment

The law allows a person to speak once on each agenda item before discussion begins.

That time is limited to 5 minutes {117.5-{b). The intent is to allow for comments and

questions while making the comment period more efficient. The data indicates that the

OBC feels that this process isn't working. The OBC Chairman and Vice-Chairman would

like to be able to provide more opportunity for attendees to contribute.

Time Limits

OBC members and support staff agreed in the debrief meeting that while the public

comment process is not working- the five minute time limit has made meetings more

focused and efficient.

A change in leadership is also a likely factor in OBC meeting outcomes. After the July 2017

general election, a new Business Committee was elected. With a change in meeting chairs, it is

difficult to know for sure that the law is what has made an impact.

Summary

This evaluation is based on two methods; analyzing the length of OBC meetings and a meeting

observation. The data sets should be considered in tandem, not independently.

The Oneida Business Committee and their support staff have expressed that the OBC meetings

have improved since July 2017. The reason for that improvement is unclear however because

the implementation of the law and the 2017 general election happened almost simultaneously.

Based on the data sets, it can be concluded that; 1) OBC Meetings are shorter, 2) the public

comment process is not working as intended, 3) OBC and support staff feel that the efficiency

and effectiveness of meetings since adoption of the law has improved.
