Status report of Three-Year Outcomes/Goals

For the purposes of the Service Groups identified under the Budget Management Control

law, all Boards, Committees, and Commissions are under the Service Group entitled

“Government Administration”.

Government Administration’s main Three-Year Outcome has been identified as:

Incorporate Good Governance Principles to: 1) Clear the path for Tribal operations; 2) Fulfill

our constitutional responsibility to conserve and develop our common resources; 3)

Promote the welfare of ourselves and our descendants

As such, for this section of the report each BCC is being asked to identify the following:

1. Which Three-Year outcome/goal does the BCC wish to report on?

a. This outcome/goal should come directly from the BCC’s Triennial Strategic

Plan (TSP).

2. Which of the Good Governance Principles does the outcome/goal support?

a. Please see attached document entitled “Good Governance Principles”.

3. How does the outcome/goal support the good governance principle chosen?

4. What are the accomplishments (i.e. positives, things the BCC is proud, brags) have

occurred over the first half of the fiscal year that will help the BCC reach the ThreeYear outcome/goal?

5. What can the membership expect to see in the future (i.e. 6 months; next year; 18

months) from the BCC related to the BCC reaching the Three-Year outcome/ goal?

Please keep each of your narrative sections within the maximum word count indicated.

47 of 111

Public Packet

Space is provided for each BCC to report the status on UP TO three (3) outcomes/goals. If

you choose to report on less than three (3) outcomes/goals, please delete the extra space.

Outcome/Goal # 1

Develop/Finalize and revise all regulations, as necessary, including the OGMICS and

regulations for Compliance and Enforcement, Employee Licensing, Hearings,

Administration/Staffing, and Raffles

IS THIS A LONG-TERM OR QUARTERLY GOAL?

Long-term

Use the Dropdown Menu below to choose the Good Governance Principle which the Three-year

outcome/goal above supports.

GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Rule of Law - Ensuring the rules are known and applied equally to all with clear appeal (if

needed)and are enforced by an impartial regulatory body, for the full protection of Oneida

Nation stakeholders

HOW OUTCOME/GOAL SUPPORTS THE GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Use the space below to describe how the Three-Year outcome/goal above supports the Good

Governance Principle chosen. 150 words max

Establishing and maintaining comprehensive and clear regulations that promulgate the rule

of law, ensures fair and consistent processes are followed by the Gaming Commission and

its departments. Keeping regulations up to date and available for stakeholder reference

also allows for a transparent process and knowledge of what is expected. Up-to-date

regulations provide for operational and customer references that benefit the Nation and

assist the OGC regulate Oneida Gaming effectively

ACCOMPLISHMENTS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Use the space below to enter the accomplishments (i.e. positives, things the BCC is proud, brags)

have occurred over the first half of the fiscal year that will help the BCC reach the Three-Year

outcome/goal. 150 words max

The following chapters of the Oneida Nation Gaming Minimum Internal Control Standards

have been reviewed, revised and approved in the first quarter: Gaming Machines,

EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Use the space below to describe what they can expect to see in the future (i.e. 6 months; next

year; 18 months) from the BCC related to the BCC reaching the Three-Year outcome/ goal. For

example: what will the BCC be working on to realize the SMART goals in the Triennial Strategic

Plan related to the Three-Year outcome/goal above or what will the BCC be working on to reach

the Three-Year outcome/goal above? 150 words max

The OGMICs revision project will continue with OGC-Compliance facilitating the OGMICS

Revision Project process for the OGC and Gaming Operations. The OGMICs chapters to be

completed include: Information Technology, Player Tracking and Promotions, Off Track

Betting, Cage/Vault, and Title 31. The OGC will also move the Compliance and

Enforcement Regulation and the Employee Licensing Regulation forward in upcoming

months.Outcome/Goal

Outcome/Goal # 2

Implement department-wide software system/technology for streamlined communication

and regulatory processes and information sharing, budget permitting.

IS THIS A LONG-TERM OR QUARTERLY GOAL?

Long-term

Use the Dropdown Menu below to choose the Good Governance Principle which the Three-year

outcome/goal above supports.

GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Effectiveness and Efficiency - Processes implemented by the Nation producing favorable

results which meets the needs of Membership, Employees, Community, while making the

best use of resources – human, technological, financial, natural and environmental

HOW OUTCOME/GOAL SUPPORTS THE GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Use the space below to describe how the Three-Year outcome/goal above supports the Good

Governance Principle chosen. 150 words max

Enter how the Three-year outcome/goal supports the Good Governance Principle.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Use the space below to enter the accomplishments (i.e. positives, things the BCC is proud, brags)

have occurred over the first half of the fiscal year that will help the BCC reach the Three-Year

outcome/goal. 150 words max

“Doing more with less” has been an on-going phrase heard over the years, particularly

during the budget planning cycles, and taken to task. To implement processes that

produce favorable results to meet all stakeholders’ needs is ideal. And to do so, utilizing the

49 of 111

Public Packet

Nation’s resources responsibly and to the fullest is even more ideal. In order to improve

operational effectiveness and efficiencies for the OGC and its departments, leveraging

technology is a focal point of such improvement

EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Use the space below to describe what they can expect to see in the future (i.e. 6 months; next

year; 18 months) from the BCC related to the BCC reaching the Three-Year outcome/ goal. For

example: what will the BCC be working on to realize the SMART goals in the Triennial Strategic

Plan related to the Three-Year outcome/goal above or what will the BCC be working on to reach

the Three-Year outcome/goal above? 150 words max

Attempting to utilize what the Nation has already invested in, namely OnBase, to create

customized work flows is not working out as anticipated. Surveillance reporting and

employee licensing information, as well as regulatory compliance matters, need more

targeted project attention. It’s been determined that a turn-key solution must be

considered at this point

Outcome/Goal # 3

Determine staff competencies and expectations, evaluate staff and identify gaps, and train

accordingly.

IS THIS A LONG-TERM OR QUARTERLY GOAL?

Long-term

Use the Dropdown Menu below to choose the Good Governance Principle which the Three-year

outcome/goal above supports.

GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Accountability - The acknowledgement and assumption of responsibility for decisions and

actions as well as the applicable rules of law

HOW OUTCOME/GOAL SUPPORTS THE GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Use the space below to describe how the Three-Year outcome/goal above supports the Good

Governance Principle chosen. 150 words max

Accountability is achievable when expectations are communicated, and stakeholders are

held to those expectations. In order to ensure the OGC departments are sufficiently

accountable, required competencies must first be identified, staff evaluated,

andsubsequently trained, accordingly. For accountability-sake, stakeholders need to

The Sustain Oneida project was poised to present a demographer’s analysis of the Oneida

presentation was to provide information and a plan to continue community outreach meetings

with a goal to assist membership on how they would like to proceed. The GTC meeting was

Restoration Services (SRS) and Oneida Engineering Solutions (OES).

OESC’s subsidiaries are supported by OESC with general management and administrative

functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resource management, IT

support, overall management, and marketing, bid and proposal. Below is a summary of OESC

and its subsidiary’s activities.

Narrative Report

a. Explanation of the core of the Corporation’s business practices and market overview

OESC’s subsidiary limited liability companies focus on contracts issued by the government

agencies for engineering, science and construction work. OESC’s revenue is derived from

the subsidiaries that operate in the full and open market as well as the Small Business

company that owns, leases and sub-lease various real estate holdings in and around the

Oneida Nation Reservation. The overall goal is to grow the portfolio that meets the needs of

the Oneida Nation and the Northeastern WI.

b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market

OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of

Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms provide similar services offered by

OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance reputation, network, price,

geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel (flexibility).

Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are

OESC customers.

c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the

market

OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts and

networks OTIE established since 2008.

We continuously evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and

State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary

NAIC codes that overlap with the sister companies.

d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and

identification of key competitors within the market

Our competitors include: Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native

American Owned, tribally-owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations

(NHOs). Each of these businesses is in a category of small business that may be awarded

prime contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other

8(a) firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as

OESC 2nd Quarter Report 2020

Page 2

79 of 111

Public Packet

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2020

Woman-Owned, HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others.

Finally, Oneida ESC competes in the full and open markets without restrictions.

Typical competitors for OTIE include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees

in NAICS 562910. Another area of significant competition is the regional Transportation

Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).

e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of

business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.

We are starting to see more opportunities emerge from our federal customers, particularly in

our core competencies, but it will take time to propose, win and execute those opportunities.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic may change the dynamic of awards. Conversations from

customers indicates that some agencies will continue to spend and others feel that spending

will be reined in to account for all the stimulus funding, we continue to keep a close eye on

the situation.

f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made

towards accomplishment of the same

Goals for Oneida ESC Group

Growth at a reasonable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for

OESC is when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission priorities.

Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:

Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, SRS and OES have

successful past performance; and where personnel involved in such projects have established

strong relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge

based on combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to

include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army),

Environmental Protection Agency, WI Department of Transportation, Milwaukee

Metropolitan Sewer District and the Oneida Nation.

New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on

“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities

geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.

g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks, resources

and relations available and needed in order to successfully fulfill outlined strategies

Key elements for success in the OESC model include:

• Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff

utilization, backlog and capacity.

• Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and

reconfigure based on identified needs to delivery strategic growth.

• Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.

• Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.

Risk in the marketplace

• We operate in highly competitive industries

• Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards

by government agencies could adversely affect us

• International operations carries additional risk

• Loss of key personnel

• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.

h. Identification of medium (two to five year) and long (greater than five year) prospects

and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies and risks

Our medium and long range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business

diversification and consistent project management delivery.

We have successfully groomed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for

services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable

strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.

Medium-term prospects

OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in

engineering, science and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and

geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on

business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.

Long-term prospects

OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble

and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.

Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to

adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate

marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for

existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms

that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.

i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying

sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of

business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)

We have made a concerted effort on our fence-to-fence contracts which is environmental

operations and compliance services. We also see growth in our traditional engineering

services such as civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.

k. Summary and status of any pending legal action to which the Corporation is a party

and any relevant government regulation to which the Corporation may be subject.

One of GMC’s subcontractors has threatened to file a mediation claim against GMC. GMC

terminated the subcontractor’s subcontract for default. GMC has calculated that the total

backcharge the sub owes to GMC due to the sub’s poor performance is $26K, and is

defensible. After retaining the backcharge amount, GMC owes the sub $31K for work that

was performed and accepted. The sub disagrees with the amount withheld for backcharges.

After internal GMC discussion, GMC agreed to reduce backcharge to $23K, but will not

agree to any further reduction. The sub said they'll go to mediation. GMC's position is very

strong, and stays at $23K backcharges or go to mediation.

Purpose

To ensure that the Land Use Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Vision Oneida Plan, Housing Plan, all

economic development efforts and land use recommendations are working in coordination with each

other to improve the Oneida Tribal community and operations.

Meetings

The CDPC meets every 1st Thursday of the month at 9 a.m. in the Business Committee Conference

Room at the Norbert Hill Center.

Activities Summary

For the 2nd quarter of FY2020, three regular CDPC meetings were held in January, February, and

March.

Highlights

Bicentennial

They have identified the Sub Committee’s for planning the event. Individual members and initial tasks

were given out. The Bicentennial team continues to work on making sure the event is a success. The

Bicentennial group has come up with several ideas and are working diligently to make the events a

success.

They are continuing to look for additional funding sources, but we also need to be prepared for the cost

of the event. The teams have been tasked with creating preliminary budgets for their specific events,

which will give us an estimate of overall costs. We hope to bring this preliminary budget back as soon

as possible to allow time to change funding contributions.

The Bicentennial team has been working diligently on creating a charter and creating a logo. Garth

Webster gave a presentation on the logo that was developed for the Bi Centennial event.

Both the Cultural Heritage Site improvements and the Bicentennial fall in line with the broad goals of

the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging

Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us).

Industrial Hemp

The Industrial Hemp update was added to Standing Updates in March as a monthly update. General

Tribal Council requested a report from this team. The report was accepted by the CDPC and forwarded

onto the proper channels to be sent out to GTC.

The Hemp Team’s recommendations are: 1) Discontinue hemp CBD test plots until there is flexibility

regarding THC concentration. 2) Continue with hemp grain plots. Hemp grain supports the Oneida

Nation’s food sovereignty initiative and provides the cannery with food diversification. 3) Continue to

expand hemp fiber. The Nation was most successful at growing hemp for fiber extraction. 4) Continue

to grow hemp for its diverse opportunities.

The Hemp Team is looking for new fields and/or the Tsyunhehkwa hoop house to grow industrial hemp

for next year, the best kind of soil and the right type of dampness in these potential hemp production

areas, and volunteers to harvest the hemp. Items that are to be considered from this team would be

partnerships, an organic strategy, USDA/Oneida Nation regulations, and business opportunities. One

concern is whether the state legalizes marijuana.

An industrial hemp pilot project would fall in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan

for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything

here to sustain us).

Upper Oneida Project

Upper Oneida is a project that will transform the upper oneida area into a park/multi-functional area.

The team is currently looking for grant funding to help pay for the project. Construction phase I has

started. Phase I includes fence removal, site clean-up and removal of debris, gravel replacement and

grass planting. Phase I will be completed in the Spring of 2020. Phase II design has been completed

The Upper Oneida Project falls in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for

Promoting Positive Community Relations and the overall project is in line with the broad goals of

Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us) and Inspiring

Yukwatsistay^a (Our fire, our spirit within each of us).

Food Innovation Center

The Oneida Food Innovation Center will provide a visible anchor to our integrated Agricultural Strategy

by an expanded facility to teach people how to process and prepare healthy native foods. It will serve

not only Oneida tribal members but also fresh food producers, entrepreneurs, and those looking for

jobs in the food service industry.

The Food Innovation Center team is re-scoping this project this quarter. The space needed to be reevaluated and needed to have further discussion on the overall project.

A centralized food center would be in line with Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything

here to sustain us).

Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Second Quarter Report

January 2020 – March 2020

FY20 Second Quarter Executive Summary- COVID-19 Pandemic Response

The COVID-19 pandemic began in Wuhan, China and quickly spread to many other countries

throughout the world including the United States. On March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a

“Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency” regarding COVID-19 which declared a Public

Health State of Emergency for the Nation until April 12, 2020, and set into place the necessary authority

for action to be taken and allows the Nation to seek reimbursement of emergency management actions

that may result in unexpected expenses. On March 28, 2020, the Oneida Business Committee adopted

resolution BC-03-28-20-A titled, “Extension of March 12th Declaration of Public Health State of

Emergency” which extended the Nation’s Public Health State of Emergency declaration until May 12,

2020.

As the Nation began to respond to this public health crisis, it became clear that laws would require

emergency amendments in order to maintain the public’s health, safety and general welfare. The

Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) assisted the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team

and the Oneida Business Committee on the following actions:

Boards, Committees, and Commissions Law Emergency Amendments

The Boards, Committees, and Commissions law governs boards, committees, and commissions of the

Nation, including the procedures regarding the appointment and election of persons to boards,

committees and commissions, creation of bylaws, maintenance of official records, compensation, and

other items related to boards, committees and commissions. Emergency amendments to the Boards,

Committees, and Commissions law were sought to:

 Eliminate the requirement that a member of a board, committee, or commission be physically

present during the entirety of the meeting or joint meeting in order to be eligible to receive a meeting

stipend;

 Provide that meetings and joint meetings can occur in person, by telephone, through

videoconferencing, or through other telecommunications;

 Revise how the limitation of stipend eligible meetings is calculated; and

 Eliminate the requirement for boards, committees, and commissions to audio record meetings.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted these emergency amendments on March 17, 2020, through

resolution BC-03-17-20-C. The emergency amendments will expire on September 17, 2020, with an

opportunity for a six (6) month extension.

Resolution: BC-03-17-20-D- Amending Resolution BC-05-08-19-B Boards, Committees, and

Commissions Law Stipends

As a result of the Oneida Business Committee’s emergency amendments to the Boards,

Committees, and Commissions law which revised how the limitation on the number of stipend

eligible meetings was calculated, this stipend resolution was updated to be consistent with the law.

This resolution now provides that:

 Members of an appointed entity are now eligible to receive up to twelve (12) meeting stipends

per year – previously, a member of an appointed entity was limited to receiving up to one (1)

meeting stipend per month; and

Page 2 of 10

100 of 111

Public Packet

Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Second Quarter Report



January 2020 – March 2020

Members of an elected entity are now eligible to receive up to twenty-four (24) meeting

stipends per year – previously, a member of an elected entity was limited to receiving up to

two (2) meeting stipends per month.

Election Law Emergency Amendments

The Election law governs the procedures for orderly elections of the Nation. Emergency amendments

to the Election law were sought to:

 Eliminate the caucus from the election process;

 Require an individual to submit an application in order to have his or her name placed on a ballot

for an election;

 Eliminate the requirement for an individual to obtain at least ten (10) signatures of qualified voters

when submitting an application to be placed on the ballot;

 Require that all applications be submitted to the Business Committee Support Office by the close

of business on April 24, 2020;

 Reduce the number of Oneida Election Board members who are required to sign the election totals

on machine counted ballots from six (6) to three (3); and

 Remove the provisions of the law regarding referendums.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted these emergency amendments on March 17, 2020, through

resolution BC-03-17-20-B. The emergency amendments will expire on September 17, 2020, with an

opportunity for a six (6) month extension.

Emergency Management and Homeland Security Law Emergency Amendments

The Emergency Management and Homeland Security law provides for the development and execution

of plans for the protection of residents, property, and the environment in an emergency or disaster;

provides for the direction of emergency management, response, and recovery on the Reservation, as

well as coordination with other agencies, victims, businesses, and organizations; establishes the use of

the National Incident Management System (NIMS); and designates authority and responsibilities for

public health preparedness. Emergency amendments to the Emergency Management and Homeland

Security law were sought to:

 Create the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team;

 Identify what positions of the Nation would serve on the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team;

 Describe the authority delegated to the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team to declare

exceptions to any law, policy, procedure, regulation, or standard operating procedure of the Nation;

 Provide for the duration of the authority for exceptions declared by the COVID-19 Core Decision

Making Team; and

 Describe how the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team will make its declarations.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted these emergency amendments on March 17, 2020, through

resolution BC-03-17-20-E. The emergency amendments will expire on September 17, 2020, with an

opportunity for a six (6) month extension.

Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Second Quarter Report

January 2020 – March 2020

The Emergency Management and Homeland Security law authorizes the Oneida Nation Police

Department to issue citations up to two hundred dollars ($200.00) for violations of the law, but a

detailed fine and penalty schedule is not provided.

The Legislative Reference Office provided the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team a

declaration titled, “Emergency Management and Homeland Security Law Fine and Penalty Schedule.”

This declaration sets forth a fine and penalty schedule with specific fine amounts to be used by the

Oneida Police Department when issuing citations for violations of the Emergency Management and

Homeland Security law. This declaration was approved by the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team

and posted to the Nation’s COVID-19 web site in accordance with the declaration requirements on

March 19, 2020.

Resolution: BC-03-17-20-A- Adoption of Tier IV Budget Contingency Plan for the

Remainder of Fiscal Year 2020 as a Result of Potential COVID-19 Pandemic Financial

Impacts

Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee adopted a Tier IV budget reductions from

the Budget Contingency Plan (Tier IV 4% ‐ Tribal Operations & OBC identify and preserve

specific core services) beginning immediately in accordance with section 121.4-3 of the Budget

Management and Control law and as supported by the March 12, 2020, Declaration of Public

Health State of Emergency. The resolution identified budgeted actions that would be delayed until

such time as the budget emergency resulting from the pandemic impacts are no longer impacting

the Nation’s finances. This resolution also provided that the Oneida Business Committee has

determined that employees shall be compensated in the event of closures and other financial

constraints as a result of the pandemic during the 30-day time period in the March 12, 2020,

Declaration of Public Health Emergency, and policies or procedures will be adopted to address

this effective with the pay period beginning March 22, 2020.

COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team Declaration: Suspension of Public Meetings under

the Legislative Procedures Act

The Legislative Reference Office provided the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team

with a declaration titled, “Suspension of Public Meetings under the Legislative Procedures Act.”

This declaration suspends the Legislative Procedures Act’s requirement to hold a public meeting

during the public comment period. Individuals may still participate in the legislative process by

submitting written comments, questions, data, or input on proposed legislation during the public

comment period. An individual shall submit written comments to the Legislative Operating

Committee via e-mail at LOC@oneidanation.org. This declaration was approved by the COVID19 Core Decision Making Team and posted to the Nation’s COVID-19 web site in accordance

with the declaration requirements on March 27, 2020.

Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Second Quarter Report

January 2020 – March 2020

FY20 Second Quarter Executive Summary- Non-COVID-19 Pandemic Related

Matters

Child Support Law Amendments

The Child Support law establishes the legal responsibility of parents to provide financially for their

children’s general well-being; makes support payments more equitable by ensuring consistent

treatment of persons in similar circumstances; makes support payments based on the real earning

capability of parents; and improves the efficiency of child support establishment and enforcement.

The proposed amendments to the Child Support law include: create a process to suspend or modify

child support orders for parents incarcerated for one hundred and eighty (180) days or more; update

notice requirements and timelines for initiating an action by the Child Support Department as well

as sending appointment letters, notices of delinquency, notices of enforcement action, and income

withholding orders; clarify how the Family Court may redact addresses and identifying

information from court documents to ensure the safety of a party; make updates to how child

support obligations are calculated in certain special circumstances involving shared-placement

parents, split-placement parents, and a serial family obligor; repeal Child Support Rule No. 1 Deviation from Child Support and Rule No. 2 - Enforcement Tools and move the contents of the

rules into the body of the law itself; and make additional updates and clarify language throughout

the law.

During the FY20 Second Quarter the Oneida Business Committee adopted the proposed

amendments to the Child Support law on January 8, 2020, through resolution BC-01-08-20-C.

Real Property Law Emergency Amendments

The Real Property law provides regulations and procedures for the transfer, control and management

of the territory within the Reservation and all Tribal land; integrates these regulations and procedures

with the real property laws and practices of other federal and state sovereigns which may hold

jurisdiction within the Reservation; and establishes licensing and certification requirements for the

Nation’s employees dealing with real property transactions.

Emergency amendments to the Real Property law were sought to address the delegation of rulemaking

authority to the Oneida Land Commission, Land Management, and Comprehensive Housing Division.

The emergency amendments to the Real Property law ensured that the homeownership and land

acquisition strategies related to the HIP and THRIFTT programs were not jeopardized by allowing

immediate updates to the program processing and required component that authorizes land acquisitions

to be made via administrative rulemaking.

During the FY20 Second Quarter the Legislative Operating Committee decided to pursue emergency

amendments to the Real Property law on January 15, 2020.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted the emergency amendments to the Real Property law on

January 22, 2020, through the adoption of resolution BC-01-22-20-B. The emergency amendments to

the Real Property law will expire on July 22, 2020, with one opportunity for a six (6) month extension.

Legislative Operating Committee FY20 Second Quarter Report

January 2020 – March 2020

The Legislative Operating Committee began the development of permanent amendments to the Real

Property law in February 2020.

Citations Law

The Citations law was developed to provide a consistent process for handling citations of the Nation in

order to ensure equal and fair treatment to all persons who come before the Judiciary to have their

citations resolved.

proposed Citations law and requested a fiscal impact statement to be completed on January 15, 2020.

through the adoption of resolution BC-02-12-20-A.

Tobacco Law Emergency Amendments

change in the federal law.

During the FY20 Second Quarter the Legislative Operating Committee decided to pursue emergency

amendments to the Tobacco law on February 5, 2020.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted the emergency amendments to the Tobacco law on February

26, 2020, through the adoption of resolution BC-02-26-20-A. The emergency amendments to the

Nation, including the procedures regarding the appointment and election of persons to boards,

committees and commissions, creation of bylaws, maintenance of official records, compensation, and

other items related to boards, committees and commissions.

An emergency amendment to the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law was sought to restrict

employees of the Nation’s Internal Audit Department, Finance Administration Office, and Oneida Law

Office from serving on a board, committee or commission of the Nation due to the potential for a real

or perceived conflict of interest to exist.

During the FY20 Second Quarter the Legislative Operating Committee decided to pursue emergency

amendments to the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law on February 19, 2020.

The Oneida Business Committee adopted the emergency amendments to the Boards, Committees, and

amendments were then superseded by the adoption of additional emergency amendments through BC03-17-20-C.

Children’s Burial Fund Policy Amendments

The Children’s Burial Fund Policy provides financial assistance towards the funeral costs of children

of a certain age who are not enrolled, but are eligible for enrollment, in the Nation. The Children’s

Burial Fund Policy is being amended to remove outdated restrictions and to create more flexibility in

Vehicle Driver Certification and Fleet Management Law Amendments

The Vehicle Driver Certification and Fleet Management law establishes standards that certify

employees, officials and volunteers to drive a fleet vehicle of the Nation or drive a personal vehicle

on official business, and regulates the use of all vehicles owned and leased by the Nation. The

Vehicle Driver Certification and Fleet Management law is being amended to: revise the

qualifications to become a certified driver of the Nation; revise and simplify the process for

suspending a person’s driver certification; clarify that other violations of this law that do not result

in the suspension or revocation of a driver’s license will be handled by disciplinary action instead

of suspension of driver certification; revise the restriction on driving while using prescription or

over the counter medications; require mileage reimbursement requests to be submitted within

thirty (30) days of driving the miles or by the end of the fiscal year, whichever is sooner; ban the

Indian Preference in Contracting Law Amendments

The Indian Preference in Contracting law establishes an Indian Preference Office and increases

economic benefits for the Nation and members of the Nation by providing for the maximum

utilization of Indian workers and businesses on projects of the Nation which occur on or near the

the Nation; an increase to the threshold for when Indian Preference applies to contracts; redefine

joint ventures and permit joint ventures to qualify for Indian Preference on a project specific basis;

set a new timeline for the Indian Preference Office to review contracts and clarify the Indian

Preference Office’s authority to develop a fine and penalty schedule for violations of this law, to

Oneida Food Service Code Amendments

The Oneida Food Service Code ensures the safe food handling and sales by food vendors who sell

their products for profit on property within the exterior boundaries of the Oneida Nation in

Wisconsin through licensing, regulation, control and supervision of those vendors. Potential

amendments to the Oneida Food Service Code include: add mobile food trucks within the category

of permanent food service establishments; add a notice and other procedural requirements to the

processing of applications for licensure to operate a food service business; create exemptions for

cottage food sales and prepackaged restaurants; afford licensing fee waivers to protect food service

businesses or prepackaged restaurants from duplicative payments that would be caused by

overlapping jurisdictions; and allow the area manager the final determination on appeals of noncitation issued decisions unless one (1) of the three (3) express grounds exist to further appeal the

decision.
