of the Chair.

Chairman Tehassi Hill returned at 9:38 a.m. and resumed the responsibilities of the Chair.

Motion by Kirby Metoxen to acknowledge we are out of compliance and going forward we get into

compliance. Motion failed due to lack of support.

Motion by David P. Jordan to direct the [Legislative Operating Committee] to [bring back] emergency

amendments to the Budget Management and Control law to remove much of the budget

process/deadlines and leave it simply at a budget should be adopted by September 30, 2021, and

direct the [Legislative Operating Committee] to continue working with Finance to get the Budget

Management and Control law amended, seconded by Jennifer Webster. Motion carried:

Councilman Daniel Guzman King left at 9:52 a.m.

For the record: Councilwoman Marie Summers stated the reason why I am opposing is that the Budget

Management and Control law is not being followed. It is out of compliance and we either should repeal

it or not use it at all. Amending it is going to make it have little teeth to it. It is going to be very generic

and general with little guidelines since we’re halfway through the process maybe three quarters

through the process. That is, I don’t believe in breaking the law and using pieces of it for the

convenience of getting through a process thank you.

For the record: Councilwoman Jennifer Webster stated I chose this option because it gives us some

guidelines. Some guidelines, some type of map is better then no map at all.

Accept the Kunhi-yó "I'm Healthy" event notice and request BC members to

Approval of Use of Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund

for Transfer of $2.4 Million to the Oneida Land Commission

Summary

The resolution approves an allocation of two million and four hundred thousand dollars

($2,400,000) from the Fund for the purposes of supporting the housing resources by having

funding available to fund homeownership programs, make strategic purchases, prepare the vacant

home in the residential sales inventory for sale, and support demolition of buildings determined to

be uninhabitable.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: May 20, 2021

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Oneida Business Committee has adopted resolutions which set aside funds disbursed from

corporations to the Nation in an Economic Development, Diversification and Community

Development fund (“the Fund”) and describes the process for accessing those funds. [Resolutions

BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, BC-01-23-19-C and BC-01-23-19-D]. When a

request to utilize monies from the Fund is received, the Community and Economic Development

Division Director reviews the request for use of the Fund and determines if the proposed use is

consistent with the Fund. The Community and Economic Development Division Director is then

required to provide a written recommendation to the Oneida Business Committee regarding

whether to authorize the allocation from the Fund to a specific project identified by a contract

number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number

or designation. The Oneida Business Committee is then responsible for authorizing use of the Fund

by a resolution clearly identifying the amount of funds authorized and purpose of the funds, which

may be identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number

or other easily trackable number or designation, and the employee responsible for authorizing

expenditures of the authorized amount.

Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee approves an allocation of two million and

four hundred thousand dollars ($2,400,000) from the Fund for the purposes of supporting the

housing resources by having funding available to fund homeownership programs such as the HIPP

and THRIFTT programs, make strategic purchases, prepare the vacant home in the residential sales

inventory for sale, and support demolition of buildings determined to be uninhabitable. This

resolution provides that utilizing the Fund for land acquisition supports a “community project

which nurture and sustain Oneida families” by ensuring housing is available and unsafe structures

are demolished. The resolution then identifies the Oneida Land Commission, acting through the

Oneida Land Management staff, Patrick Pelky Division Director, as the responsible party for

expenditure of these funds.

59 of 250

A review and recommendation from the Community and Economic Development Division

Director was not completed for this allocation from the Fund. Through this resolution the Oneida

Business Committee recognizes that the process for utilization of the Funds as provided by

resolution BC-01-2-19-C was not complied with, and then authorizes an exception to the Fund

approval processes requiring the recommendation of the Community and Economic Development

Division Director until such time updated processes can be presented.

Conclusion

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

Process for Authorization and Use of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Federal Relief

Funds

Summary

The resolution sets forth a process for the authorization and use of the American Rescue Plan Act

of 2021 Federal Relief Funds.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: May 20, 2021

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Oneida Nation and its members have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States government has developed and adopted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021

(ARPA) which has funds set aside for Tribal governments specifically and through various

agencies. The Oneida Business Committee has determined the funds set-aside for Tribal

governments in Title IX, Committee on Finance, Subtitle M, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal

Recovery Funds, section 9901, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund should be

centrally managed in order to ensure the greatest tangible and intangible impact on members and

the Nation. The Oneida Business Committee also determined the funds set-aside or available

through various other specifically directed programs should be aggressively sought out and

managed by the program or business unit but will not be managed or monitored through the process

set out for Section 9901 Tribal government Federal Recovery Funds (FRF).

Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee adopts general guidelines for the use of

the ARPA Section 9901 FRF to be used in the Oneida Nation ARPA FRF Program as created

through this resolution. The general guidelines for the use of the ARPA Section 9901 FRF address

the purpose of the funding for Oneida Nation ARPA FRF Program projects, deadlines, and

tracking of projects. This resolution then directs that an Oneida Nation ARPA FRF Program Office

be created within the Accounting Department, and provides the specific tasks and responsibilities

that the Oneida Nation ARPA FRF Program Office will be responsible for. A project approval

process, to be supplemented with needed standard operating procedures approved by the Oneida

Nation ARPA FRF Program Office, is also adopted through this resolution.

Although the ARPA Section 9901 FRF are not budgeted funds, the resolution then goes on to

provide that expenditures under approved projects shall be authorized in accordance with approved

expenditure sign-off levels for budgeted activities. The resolution provides that the Oneida

Business Committee shall set allocation goals for use of ARPA FRF by resolution and shall review

those allocations annually to ensure the goals are being met or determine if changes should be

made in the allocation goals. Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee directs the

Oneida Nation ARPA FRF Program Office to present a concluding report when all funds have

been allocated and all final project reports have been presented. The COVID-19 Call Center is

Page 1 of 2

Public Packet

68 of 250

designated as the contact point for all ARPA funds not specifically attached to or part of an existing

Oneida Nation organizational unit or deriving from a self-governance contract and provides

various responsibilities and duties of the COVID-19 Call Center. Finally, the resolution provides

Statement of Effect

Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund – Updating Review

and Recommendation Responsibilities

Summary

The resolution updates the process for accessing funds from the Economic Development,

Diversification and Community Development Fund contained in resolution BC-01-23-19-C by

transferring responsibilities from the Community and Economic Development Division Director

to a Review Team consisting of the Oneida Business Committee’s Strategic Planner, Business

Analyst and Budget Analyst.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: May 18, 2021

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Oneida Business Committee has adopted resolutions which set aside funds disbursed from

corporations to the Nation in an Economic Development, Diversification and Community

Development fund. [Resolutions BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, BC-01-23-19C and BC-01-23-19-D]. The process to access money from the Economic Development,

Diversification and Community Development fund requires a review and recommendation by the

Community and Economic Development Division Director. Since the last amendment to the

process adopted through resolution BC-01-23-19-C, the Nation has experienced significant

organizational changes. The Oneida Business Committee has revised its staffing and determined

that a more appropriate review and recommendation should come from the Business Analyst, job

description #03029.

Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee directs that any reference

to “Community and Economic Development Division Director” be replaced with “Review Team”

in every place it occurs in resolution BC-01-23-19-C. This resolution then clarifies that the Review

Team shall be made up of the Strategic Planner, job description #03106, the Business Analyst, job

description #03029, and the Budget Analyst, job description #03103, who shall provide a joint

recommendation for the use of the Economic Development, Diversification and Community

Development fund.

Conclusion

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

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

I have some Covid relief grant funds from the Resiliency grant administered by the Arts Midwest organization in

Minneapolis, MN. The grant funds are unrestricted.

I’m exploring the possibility of putting a fresh coat of paint on the retaining wall on Hwy 54 near the VFW

building. I’d also like to install a bronze plaque to commemorate the artists who contributed the designs on that

overpass.

The Oneida Nation has an intergovernmental agreement with the WI DOT for maintenance of the retaining wall,

the underpass, and the roundabouts within the Oneida nation. Dan Segerstrom of WI DOT is working with DOT

officials to get approvals for installing a memorial plaque on the Duck Creek overpass.

Dear BC Members,

I’m requesting approval to contribute to the cost of maintenance on mural on the retaining wall on Hwy

54 and installing a memorial bronze plaque in the base of the Duck Creek overpass.

I have some Covid relief grant funds from the Resiliency grant administered by the Arts Midwest

organization in Minneapolis, MN. The grant funds are unrestricted.

I’m exploring the possibility of putting a fresh coat of paint on the retaining wall on Hwy 54 near the

VFW building. I’d also like to install a bronze plaque to commemorate the artists who contributed the

designs on that overpass.

The Oneida DPW is considering the BIA road funds for the maintenance of the mural on the retaining

wall, and they would appreciate any grant funds I can contribute to assist with preserving the Oneida

artwork on the wall. I may be able to contribute to a new coat paint on the wall – depending on how

much it will cost.

I would also like to get a bronze plaque put on the base of the Duck Creek overpass in Oneida that

commemorates the artists who contributed to artwork under the overpass.

The Oneida Nation has an intergovernmental agreement with the WI DOT for maintenance of the

retaining wall, the underpass, and the roundabouts within the Oneida nation. Dan Segerstrom of WI

DOT is working with DOT officials to get approvals for installing a memorial plaque on the Duck Creek

overpass.

I believe the Oneida Nation Business Committee can grant approval to the Oneida Nation Arts Program

to contribute to the upkeep of the mural and having a bronze plaque installed on the base of the

overpass.

Sincerely,

Cc: Tina Jorgensen
