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

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

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.

ONEIDA
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.

Statement of Effect
Amendment of Resolution 1 0-16-84-A,· Responsibility for Tribal Identification Cards
Summary
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.

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.

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.

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.
