For the record: Secretary Lisa Liggins stated we all acknowledge that we need to hold a General
Tribal Council meeting, that we are accountable to that body. That being said, it's clear from the
information that we've reviewed from the Public Health Officer, from Comprehensive Health, from the
CDC, from Wisconsin DHS, and our own vaccination rates, that it is not safe to hold a meeting right
now. We've done our due diligence regarding this [decision]; the 43 page report in the packet is
evidence of this due diligence. I encourage all tribal members to review the information, contact myself
or any of the BC members with any insight, input, and feedback. Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
TO:

Oneida Business Committee

FROM:

Jo Anne House, Chief Counsel

DATE:

July 30, 2021

SUBJECT:

E-Poll Request – Adoption of Resolution Titled “Setting Public Gathering Guidelines
During Public Health State of Emergency - COVID-19”

Digitally signed by Jo
Anne House
Date: 2021.07.30
10:10:07 -05'00'

As requested at the July 29th work session, the attached resolution is presented for adoption via e-poll.
The purpose of the resolution is to identify guidelines to be used in public activities for public health and
safety. This includes setting reasonable levels for the positive COVID-19 rates and vaccination rates that
are specifically tied to the Oneida Nation members, employees, and Reservation area.
At the Wednesday, July 28th, Oneida Business Committee meeting, information was provided regarding
extending the declaration of a public health emergency. This included impact reports from the Oneida
Nation operations and recommendations from the Public Health Officer. This resulted in extending the
declaration of emergency until late September.
The reports from the organization identified that most areas have sufficient protections and protocols in
place to safely fully or partially resume operations and react to increases in positive COVID-19 rates. The
Public Health Officer information identified ongoing concerns with providing guidance regarding the
COVID-19 virus, the variants that are becoming dominant, and vaccination rates. Finally, the available
data, which currently is not Oneida specific, shows rapidly increasing positive COVID-19 case levels,
primarily of the Delta variant, and stagnating vaccination rates at about 50%.
Discussion at the work session included discussion regarding the Oneida Nation Pow Wow scheduled
August 28th and 29th after the tentative General Tribal Council meeting of August 26th. Those discussions
identified concerns regarding the rising level of positive COVID-19 rates and considerations regarding
vaccine requirements and how other Native Nations are addressing scheduled pow wows.
The consensus at the work session was development of an updated goal setting and guidance resolution
for the Oneida Nation. There was a request for consideration of presenting this resolution via e-poll given
the need for providing immediate guidance throughout the organization.
Requested Actions
1. Approval e-poll request.
2. Adopt resolution titled “Setting Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of
Emergency - COVID-19.”

Statement of Effect
Setting Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of Emergency - COVID-19
Summary
This resolution rescinds resolution BC-05-12-21-B, Staying Safer At Home Policy – COVID-19
Pandemic, and resolution BC-05-12-21-I, Safer Re-Opening of Government Offices – COVID-19
Pandemic, while providing goals for minimum infection rates and vaccination rates to allow
members and the community a clear understanding of indicators of when meetings, events, and
activities could be canceled.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: July 30, 2021
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee adopted the Emergency Management law, formally known as the
Emergency Management and Homeland Security law, for the purpose of providing for the
development and execution of plans for the protection of residents, property, and the environment
in an emergency or disaster; providing for the direction of emergency management, response, and
recovery on the Reservation, as well as coordinating with other agencies, victims, businesses, and
organizations; establishing the use of the National Incident Management System (NIMS); and
designating authority and responsibilities for public health preparedness. [3 O.C. 302.1-1].
Under the Emergency Management law, the Oneida Business Committee is delegated the
responsibility to proclaim or ratify the existence of a public health emergency. [3 O.C. 302.8-1].
A public health emergency means the occurrence or imminent threat of an illness or health
condition which is a quarantinable disease; and which poses a high probability of a large number
of deaths or serious or long-term disability among humans. [3 O.C. 302.3-1(p)]. No proclamation
of an emergency by the Oneida Business Committee may last for longer than sixty (60) days,
unless renewed by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C. 302.8-2].
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in accordance with the authority granted to the Oneida
Business Committee through the Emergency Management law, on March 12, 2020, Chairman
Tehassi Hill signed a “Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency” which sets into place the
necessary authority should action need to be taken, and allows the Oneida Nation to seek
reimbursement of emergency management actions that may result in unexpected expenses. [3 O.C.
302.8-1]. The Oneida Business Committee has extended this Public Health State of Emergency
until September 26, 2021, through the adoption of the following resolutions: BC-03-26-20-A, BC05-06-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC-08-06-20-A, BC-09-09-20-A, BC-10-08-20A, BC-11-10-20-A, BC-12-09-20-D, BC-01-07-21-A, BC-02-10-21-A, BC-03-10-21-D, BC-0512-21-A, BC-06-23-21-B, and BC-07-28-21-N. [3 O.C. 302.8-2].

On March 17, 2020, the Oneida Business Committee adopted emergency amendments to the
Emergency Management law through resolution BC-03-17-20-E to create and delegate authority
to a COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team so that upon the declaration of a public health
emergency, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team would have the authority to declare
exceptions to the Nation’s laws, policies, procedures, regulations, or standard operating procedures
during the emergency period which will be of immediate impact for the purposes of protecting the
health, safety, and general welfare of the Nation’s community, members, and employees. [3 O.C.
302.9-2]. These declarations remain in effect for the duration of the Public Health State of
Emergency, unless identified to be effective for a shorter period of time. [3 O.C. 302.9-4]. The
Oneida Business Committee then permanently adopted amendments to the Emergency
Management law through resolution BC-03-10-21-A which incorporated the authority of an
Emergency Core Decision Making Team to make declarations.
On March 24, 2020, the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team issued a “Safer at
Home” declaration which prohibits all public gatherings of any number of people and orders all
individuals present within the Oneida Reservation to stay at home or at their place of residence,
with certain exceptions allowed. On April 21, 2020, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team
issued an “Updated Safer at Home” declaration which allowed for gaming and golf operations to
resume. Then on May 19, 2020, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team issued a “Safer at
Home Declaration, Amendment, Open for Business” which directs that individuals within the
Oneida Reservation should continue to stay at home, businesses can re-open under certain safer
business practices, and social distancing should be practiced by all persons. On June 10, 2020, the
COVID-19 Team issued a “Stay Safer at Home” declaration which lessened the restrictions of the
“Safer at Home Declaration, Amendment, Open for Business” while still providing guidance and
some restrictions. Then on July 17, 2020, the “Safe Re-opening Governmental Offices” declaration
was issued which provides guidance on how buildings will be safely re-opened to the public.
The Emergency Management law allows the Oneida Business Committee to modify, extend, or
repeal any declaration or emergency action taken by an Emergency Core Decision Making Team.
[3 O.C. 302.9-6]. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-05-12-21-I, Safer
Re-Opening of Government Offices – COVID-19 Pandemic, which superseded the “Safe ReOpening of Government Offices” declaration and provided that the organization shall make all
attempts to safely re-open to the public while addressing and providing guidance for the following
issues: sanitization, notice of re-opening of offices and buildings, employee offices, employee and
public social distancing, and signage. The Oneida Business Committee also adopted resolution
BC-05-12-21-B, Staying Safer At Home Policy – COVID-19 Pandemic, which superseded the
“Safer at Home” declaration and updated the “Stay Safer at Home” declaration, while addressing
and providing guidance for the following issues: recommendation to stay at home or place of
residence, business operations, prohibited activities, libraries, playgrounds and parks, public
transit, elderly and at-risk persons, travel, social distancing requirements, enforcement, and
severability.
This resolution provides that the Oneida Business Committee believes that a ‘return-to-normal’ is
needed and includes safely scheduling General Tribal Council meetings as well as public events
such as the Oneida Nation Pow Wow and Applefest that have the potential to become super
spreader events if not carefully managed to protect the health and safety of all individuals

attending. The Oneida Business Committee believes that it is important to clearly set goals of
minimum infection rates and vaccination rates to allow members and the community to have clear
indicators of when meetings, events, and activities could be canceled.
Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee directs that indoor and outdoor events
shall be canceled when the infection rates within Brown or Outagamie Counties exceed “Low” as
identified by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. This resolution also identifies that
public health safety regarding the COVID-19 virus shall be considered effective when vaccination
rates for Oneida Nation members and employees exceed seventy-five percent (75%). As this
pandemic proceeds, individuals, business, and event coordinators are directed by this resolution to
follow the guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control as revised to meet changing pandemic
impacts.
This resolution rescinds resolution BC-05-12-21-B, Staying Safer At Home Policy – COVID-19
Pandemic, and resolution BC-05-12-21-I, Safer Re-Opening of Government Offices – COVID-19
Pandemic. This resolution shall remain in place so long as the declaration of a public health
emergency remains in place.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

2021 ASSEMBLY BILL 426

June 25, 2021 - Introduced by JOINT LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Referred to Committee
on Criminal Justice and Public Safety.

1

AN ACT to amend 980.08 (4) (dm) 1. (intro.), 980.08 (4) (dm) 2. and 980.08 (6m)

2

of the statutes; relating to: notification to tribal chairs and tribal law

3

enforcement agencies for a sexually violent person being placed on supervised

4

release in a county in which the tribe is located.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill is explained in the NOTES provided by the Joint Legislative Council in
the bill.
JOINT LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PREFATORY NOTE: This bill was prepared for the Joint
Legislative Council's Special Committee on State-Tribal Relations.
Under current law, a person who has been found to be a sexually violent person may
be involuntarily committed to the Department of Health Services for control, care, and
treatment. If a person is committed and placed in institutional care, the person may
periodically petition the court for supervised release to the community. If a court
approves the petition, the court must order the person's county of residence to prepare
a report that identifies one appropriate residential option for the person. Among other
requirements, when preparing the report, the county must consult with a local law
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the residential option and include in its
report any report prepared by the local law enforcement agency.
The bill requires that the court notify the tribal chair of any tribe with tribally
owned lands located within any county that has been ordered to prepare a residential
option report. The bill also requires that the county consult with any tribal law
enforcement agency located within the county and include in its report any report
prepared by the tribal law enforcement agency.

ASSEMBLY BILL 426
Current law also requires that, before a person is placed on supervised release by
the court, the court notify the municipal police department and county sheriff for the
municipality and county in which the person will be residing unless the municipal police
department or county sheriff waives its notification rights. The bill provides that, unless
waived by a tribal law enforcement agency, the court must also notify any tribal law
enforcement agency located in the county in which the person will be residing of the
placement.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:

1

SECTION 1. 980.08 (4) (dm) 1. (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:

2

980.08 (4) (dm) 1. (intro.) If the court finds that all of the criteria in par. (cg)

3

are met, the court shall order the county of the person's residence, as determined by

4

the department of health services under s. 980.105, to prepare a report and, if any

5

tribally owned lands are located in that county, shall notify each tribal chair in that

6

county that the county has been ordered to prepare a report. The county shall create

7

a temporary committee to prepare the report for the county. The committee shall

8

consist of the county department under s. 51.42, a representative of the department

9

of health services, a local probation or parole officer, the county corporation counsel

10

or his or her designee, and a representative of the county that is responsible for land

11

use planning or the department of the county that is responsible for land

12

information. In the report, the county shall identify an appropriate residential

13

option in that county while the person is on supervised release. In counties with a

14

population of 750,000 or more, the committee shall select a residence in the person's

15

city, village, or town of residence, as determined by the department of health services

16

under s. 980.105 (2m). The report shall demonstrate that the county has contacted

17

the landlord for that residential option and that the landlord has committed to enter

18

into a lease. The county shall do all of the following when identifying an appropriate

19

residential option:

SECTION 2. 980.08 (4) (dm) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:

2

980.08 (4) (dm) 2. When preparing the report, the county shall consult with a

3

local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the residential option and, if

4

any tribally owned lands are located in the county, with any tribal law enforcement

5

agency having jurisdiction in the county. The law enforcement agency and tribal law

6

enforcement agency may submit a written report that provides information relating

7

to the residential option, and, if the law enforcement agency submits a report is

8

submitted under this subdivision, the county department shall include the agency's

9

report when the county department submits its report to the department of health

10

services.

11

SECTION 3. 980.08 (6m) of the statutes is amended to read:

12

980.08 (6m) An order for supervised release places the person in the custody

13

and control of the department. The department shall arrange for control, care and

14

treatment of the person in the least restrictive manner consistent with the

15

requirements of the person and in accordance with the plan for supervised release

16

approved by the court under sub. (4) (g). A person on supervised release is subject

17

to the conditions set by the court and to the rules of the department. Within 10 days

18

of imposing a rule, the department shall file with the court any additional rule of

19

supervision not inconsistent with the rules or conditions imposed by the court. If the

20

department wants to change a rule or condition of supervision imposed by the court,

21

the department must obtain the court's approval. Before a person is placed on

22

supervised release by the court under this section, the court shall so notify the

23

municipal police department and county sheriff for the municipality and county in

24

which the person will be residing and, if any tribally owned lands are located in the

25

county, all tribal law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction in the county in which

Re:

Preliminary study information regarding the Stroke Prevention Study

Project: "Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population”

The "Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population” is a partnership
between the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD) and the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Stroke Team (UWMST). The team has participated in two health
fairs at Oneida Just Move It events prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and
provided educational materials at the 2020 Oneida Family Night -prior to the COVID-19
pandemic. The team has also created an educational website to share information about
stroke risk factors, how to assess your individual risk factors and how to reduce risk
factors for stroke. The team has started the study to determine what risk factors are most
prevalent in Native Americans, examine biomarkers associated with stroke risk factors in
Native Americans, and examine how Health Wellness Coaches may help individuals
reduce their risk for stroke. Participants enrolled in the study see a physician to review
their health history and risk factors for stroke, participate in a cognition test, have an
ultrasound performed imaging the carotid arteries (arteries in the neck), have a blood
draw and see a health wellness coach. To date, the OCHD-UWMST team has seen 18
participants, in April, May and July of 2021 and are planning to see additional participants
August 11-13, 2021. In addition, the OCHD-UWMST team is in the process of hiring a
dedicated Health Wellness Coach for this project.

Court Judge), Land Claims Commission, Land Commission, Trust Enrollment Committee, Legal
Resource Center Advocate, Election Board, ONCOA, School Board.
The Special Election was held on July 10, 2021 from 7 a.m‐7 p.m. in Oneida at the Woodland
Building and in Milwaukee at the SEOTS building.
Included in the report are: 1) Narrative; 2) Totals and Demographic Breakdowns 3) Final

Address; and 6) Requested Action.
1. NARRATIVE
The Special Election was held on July 10, 2021 in accordance with all applicable laws (Examples:
Oneida Election Law and Oneida Judiciary Law.) Amendments were made to the Election Law
due to the Covid‐19 pandemic which bypassed having a Caucus. Notice to the membership
reflected this. Applications were made available for pick up and drop off in the main office of
the Norbert Hill Center starting May 10, 2021 . Deadline for applications to be received was
4:30 pm on May 14, 2021,
The Land Claims Commission, Trust Enrollment Committee, School Board Parent Position, did
not have enough candidates to fill all vacancies.
There were hearings held as request for three (3) applicants for the Legal Resource Center
Advocate vacancy. Two (2) were deemed eligible as they provided the proof that they met all
four (4) qualifications and language that the burden of proof is the responsibility of the
applicant that they meet all the qualifications was inadvertently not included on the application
as it was in the past. The Election Board will ensure language is included on applications for all
future elections.

Special Election Totals:
Number of voters: 239 (Oneida total: 217, Milwaukee total: 22)

5. ISSUES OF CONCERN
The Election Board, when planning for and conducting elections. is met with trials and
tribulations and thoughts of what can be done better. This year was no different. Things
that occurred and questions/concerns include the following:
a) No WIFI in the Woodland Building & Enrollments not set up
Corrected with employees signing in using VPN information
b) Why does OPD need to be present the entire time?
c) Why are six (6) signatures required on the results tapes?
Pandemic has proven that more can be done with less
Election Law was revised and went to GTC but it didn’t get passed. Why does
GTC have to vote on some laws like the Election Law but not others?

Public Packet

d) Why must voter’s complete registration sheet when Enrollments verifies enrollment?
e) For future elections, be more cognizant of needs of elders, ie. Close drop‐off location
6. REQUESTED ACTION:

comply with the Election Law, 102.11‐13. Declaration of Results. The Business
