For the record: Secretary Summers stated as I stated to the Gaming team when they were here, I
believe they did a very good on their reopening plan. I think they've done everything they've needed to
address cleaning, masking, the safety issues for the operations to reopen. I feel like because Gaming
currently has not been open for a sufficient amount of time for us to understand the impact of having
that space open, that we need to wait at least one more week. My suggested reopen date would be
the week of July 5th to give one more week of data for us to analyze. And the other rationale for that
is, that we have our current [Stay] Safer at Home and Public Health [State of] Emergency in place until
July [12th], that's when it's set to expire in the next round, and that we continue to open more of our
spaces without having that being considered properly in my opinion.

RE: Recommendations to Extend the Oneida Nation Public Health Emergency Declaration

An infectious illness such as COVID19 does not follow our jurisdictional boundaries and/or our
reservation boundaries. It is critical for the Oneida Nation to continue to wor in tandem with our local
and state public health departments. COVID-19 does not pic and choose who will be affected nor does
it matter where you wor , or where you live.
Through our on-going monitoring of the COVID19 pandemic by public health and other health officials,
the following are highlights from our current situation:

ec



There is an Increase in COVID-19 cases within Brown and Outagamie counties.



There is an Increase in COVID19 re a e
Counties.



There is i ence c n in e c
throughout the state of isconsin.

ea s in
ni

isconsin including Brown and Outagamie

s rea in Brown and Outagamie Counties and

en a i ns

Based on available information we have today, Oneida Public Health Team has the following
recommendations:

1. The Oneida Nation extend the Public Health Emergency declaration to August 31, 2020.
2. All Departments/areas within the organization have a plan for maintaining safe reopening
and/or continued operations during COVID19 pandemic to include prevention strategies to eep
both employees and patrons safe based upon the guidelines that this team has submitted to the
COVID-19 Communications Team.
3. Continued Operations to maintain all safe distancing, niversal mas ing/face covering
and sanitation requirements indefinitely throughout the pandemic.
4. Based on current available information our recommendations would remain valid for the next 36 months or longer. Recommendations will continue to change based upon available data and
updates on the COVID-19 pandemic.

5. Continue Basic Infection Prevention Measures throughout the Oneida Organization to protect
employees and customers must be included as a part of all operational plans. All Departments
should maintain good hygiene and infection control practices, including:

immediately available, provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.



Encourage employees to stay home if they are sic .



Encourage respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes.



Provide customers and the public with tissues and trash receptacles.

6. Departments should continue to maintain flexible wor sites e.g., telecommuting and flexible

between employees and others if state and local health authorities recommend the use of social
distancing strategies.
7. Discourage employees from using other employees phones, des s, offices, or other wor tools
and equipment, when possible.
8. Maintain regular house eeping practices, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces,
equipment, and other elements of the wor environment. hen choosing cleaning chemicals,
Departments should consult information on Environmental Protection Agency EPA -approved

emerging viral pathogens claims are expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 based on data
for harder to ill viruses. ollow the manufacturer s instructions for use of all cleaning and
disinfection products e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, PPE .
9. All employees of the nation based on their job duties have a facial covering or mas while at

Statement of Effect
Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until September xx, 2020
Summary
This resolution extends the Nation’s declaration of the Public Health State of Emergency until
September 2020.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: June 30, 2020
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee adopted 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 and Homeland Security 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(o)]. No
proclamation of an emergency by the Oneida Business Committee may last for longer than thirty
(30) days, unless renewed by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C. 302.8-5].
The federal government has proclaimed a public health emergency related to the spread of the
COVID-19 virus and has identified that the spread of the virus has resulted in large numbers of
individuals becoming ill and high mortality rates, impacts to the stock markets, and businesses.
State governors, including the State of Wisconsin, have declared public health emergencies and
state public health officers have issued orders, for example, closing public schools, limiting public
gatherings, and closing restaurants and bars except for take-out orders.
In accordance with the authority granted to the Oneida Business Committee through the
Emergency Management and Homeland Security 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 took action to extend this Public Health State of Emergency until
May 12, 2020, through the adoption of resolution BC-03-28-20-A, “Extension of March 12th
Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency.” [3 O.C. 302.8-5]. The Oneida Business
Page 1 of 2

Committee then further extended this Public Health State of Emergency until June 11, 2020,
through the adoption of resolution BC-05-06-20-A, “Extension of Declaration of Public Health
State of Emergency Until June 11, 2020.” [3 O.C. 302.8-5]. On June 10, 2020, the Oneida Business
Committee took action to again extend the Public Health State of Emergency until July 12, 2020,
through the adoption of resolution BC-06-10-20-A titled, “Extension of Declaration of Public
Health State of Emergency Until July 12, 2020.”
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. Declarations made by the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team remain in
effect during the duration of the Nation’s Public Health State of Emergency, unless identified to
be effective for a shorter time period. [3 O.C. 302.10-3].
The Emergency Management Director and the Public Health Officer have advised extension of the
Public Health State of Emergency declaration supported by information from the Centers for
Disease Control and the level of spread of COVID-19 throughout the State of Wisconsin,
surrounding states, and the United States.
This resolution provides that the Oneida Business Committee has determined that continuing the
Public Health State of Emergency continues to be necessary and that the declaration should be
longer than thirty (30) days given the ongoing pandemic impact and the inability to identify
mechanisms to control for infection or protect the public. If adopted, this resolution would remain
in effect until September xx, 2020.
Extending the Public Health State of Emergency for a period longer than thirty (30) days conflicts
with section 302.8-5 of the Emergency Management and Homeland Security law which provides
that no proclamation of an emergency by the Oneida Business Committee may last for longer than
thirty (30) days, unless that declaration is renewed by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C.
302.8-5].
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would conflict with the Emergency Management and Homeland
Security law. The Emergency Management and Homeland Security law provides that no
proclamation of an emergency by the Oneida Business Committee may last for longer than thirty
(30) days, unless renewed by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C. 302.8-5]. This resolution
seeks to have the Public Health State of Emergency extended for a period of more than thirty (30)
days from July 12, 2020, until September xx, 2020.

Certification of Leasing law Rule No. 4 – Home Business Opportunities (HBO)
Residential Leasing

On June 30, 2020, the Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) reviewed and certified the Leasing
law Rule No. 4 – Home Business Opportunities (HBO) Residential Leasing (“Rule”). Certification
by the Legislative Operating Committee means:
▪ The certification packet provided by the Comprehensive Housing Division for the Rule
contained all documentation required by the Administrative Rulemaking law for a
complete administrative record;
▪ The promulgation of the Rule complied with the procedural requirements contained in the
Administrative Rulemaking law; and
▪ The Rule did not exceed the rulemaking authority granted under the law for which the
Rule is being promulgated.
The Rule was developed in accordance with the Nation’s Leasing law which delegates authority
to the Oneida Land Commission and Land Management to jointly develop rules related to
obtaining a residential, agricultural or business lease. [6 O.C. 602.5-1]. The Leasing law defines
“Land Management” as “the Division of Land Management or other entity responsible for entering
into leases of tribal land”, and thus, includes the Comprehensive Housing Division as an entity
with delegated rulemaking authority. [6 O.C. 602.3-1(i)].
The Rule expands upon the language set forth in the Leasing law and other residential leasing rules
promulgated thereunder with respect to the process for applying, selecting and entry into a Home
Building Opportunity Residential Lease through the Comprehensive Housing Division. The Rule
provides specific provisions regarding:
▪
▪
▪
▪

Eligibility for a residential lease through the Home Building Opportunities program;
Homes that are eligible for building or transferring;
Advertising and application; and
Entry into a Home Building Opportunities Residential Lease.

The Rule would become effective upon adoption by the Oneida Business Committee in accordance
with section 106.9-1 of the Administrative Rulemaking law.
Requested Action
Adopt Leasing law Rule No. 4 – Home Building Opportunities (HBO) Residential Leasing.

Re:
June 24, 2020 Requests for Approval

Susan M. House, Ph.D.
2020.06.24 09:28:13 -05'00'

This request for approval is to use the Treasury Covid Relief Funds to send PPE, 30 boxes of
donated face shields, to northern Wisconsin Tribes for use by their veterans. The National
Indian Veterans Association (NIVA) mailed 30 boxes of PPE masks and face shields for Wisconsin
Tribal Nations Veterans programs.
This is for the veterans, not for the health centers of the northern Tribes, therefore, Treasury
Covid Relief Funds are appropriate and best used for this request.
Requests to Approve
1. 6‐4‐080 Delivery of donated PPE to Wisconsin Tribal Nation’s Veterans Departments
$168.90
Thank you for your consideration.

Memo
To:
BC Work Session
From: Susan House, CRF Funding Coordinator
Date: June 23, 2020
Re:
June 23, 2020 Requests for Approval
There are several requests for Thermometers for the organization. What the C-19 Finance
Team is proposing is to work with our vendors that supply temp-kiosks. Faith Technologies
currently has 2 models that are available:
$5000

iPad with an app to take temp and verify a mask is in place

$24,000

Live Video capture can be viewed by Security. Two cameras, one takes
temperate, second scans body for weapons.
Designed for defense contract. Commonly used in hospitals

Gaming has used a different vendor that works through Las Vegas for software/ hardware
support.
We currently have several buildings that would meet the need to get the body scan model. The
Judicial building, school system (NHC and ONES), Social Service building and Health Center.
These buildings are chosen because of the safety of our children and government, the issues
already logged at Social Service Building and the clientele that frequents Social Service Building.
The Health Center was also suggested because of the medication that is located inside the
center.
The additional costs of these need to be considered when purchasing the surveillance models:
power source, network capabilities, along with location for the system to be monitored.
These iPad temperature kiosks would take the place of the multiple thermometer orders.
- GSD 19 Thermometers
- Health already purchased
- ONSS

These are needed for social distancing and are eligible for Treasury Covid Relief Funds. The
concern that MIS has is the lifecycle cost for departments that switch over to laptop/ docking
station. There also needs to be due diligence by the employee to connect the laptop to the
docking station, or Oneida Wi-Fi to download the monthly patches. It is unclear at the time of
this memo if connecting to the Oneida Wi-Fi through VPN will allow the monthly patches to
download. The solution that MIS will be offering soon is Workspace One which is a virtual
desktop that allows the employee to use their own personal desktop or laptop to access the
Oneida desktop. This is currently in test phase.
The lifecycle for desktop is about $600-$1000 every 5 years, and the lifecycle of the laptop is
typically 4-5 years as well and is about $1400 to update the laptop. The 105 laptops would be
about $150,000 as opposed to $63,000-105,000 for desktops.

MEMORANDUM
TO:

COVID-19 Finance Team

FROM:

Carl J. Artman, Staff Attorney

DATE:

June 6, 2020

SUBJECT: Coronavirus Relief Funds – Oneida Judiciary Costs for reopening – Request Nos.
6-6-008, 6-6-009, 6-6-012, 6-6-013, 6-6-015, 6-6-016, and 6-6-018

The COVID-19 Finance Team asked if the Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) may be used
by the Oneida Nation (“Nation”) for the purpose of acquiring products and services for the safe
re-opening of the Oneida Judiciary. The products and services would be used to clean, disinfect,
implement safe social distancing practices, and provide personal protective equipment for its
staff and constituency, and other goods or services as necessary to inhibit the spread of COVID19 within the Nation’s Reservation. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act permits the Nation to use CRF for the aforementioned purposes and Treasury has
deferred to the governments to develop a program suited to the needs of its government entities.
Statute and federal government guidance:
The CARES Act requires tribal governments to answer affirmatively three questions
when considering the allocation of authorized CARES Act funds. First, were the expenditures
incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency? Second, were the expenditures not
accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of the date of enactment of the CARES
Act? And third, were the expenditures incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020
and ends on December 30, 2020?
The Oneida General Tribal Council adopted a resolution on January 7, 2013 creating the
Oneida Judiciary. The Oneida Judiciary enhances and protects the sovereignty and selfgovernance of the Nation. The Oneida Judiciary serves the Nation’s members and those that do
business with the Nation. The Judiciary serves a critical role in the Nation’s governance process.
The Oneida Judiciary has been closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic since March
19, 2020 and it seeks now to open its court rooms to continue providing the necessary judicial
oversight for the Nation.
The Oneida Judiciary seeks to use CRF monies to disinfect all areas of the judicial
building and continue these practices for as long as necessary. It will acquire PPE for the its
staff and visitors to the courts. It will acquire signage and stickers to impose the required safe
social distancing within the public areas and court rooms. The Oneida Judiciary will acquire

laptops and accessories to engage in teleconferences and long-distance hearings as necessary to
inhibit the spread of COVID-19 with in the Reservation.
Permitted use of funds:
The Oneida Judiciary provides a critical government service that has been curtailed due
to COVID-19. The CARES Act anticipated CRF could be expended on the acquisition of
products and services for disinfecting and cleaning the Oneida Judiciary facilities and equipment
therein, preparation to re-open safely, and implementation of recommended procedures to inhibit
introduction of COVID-19 into the Oneida Judiciary after reopening. The Nation may allocate
CRF monies for the purposes in Request Nos. 6-6-008, 6-6-009, 6-6-012, 6-6-013, 6-6-015, 6-6016, and 6-6-018 and other subsequent similar requests.

Memo
To:
BC Work Session
From: Susan House, CRF Funding Coordinator
Date: June 23, 2020
Re:
June 23, 2020 Requests for Approval
There are several requests for Thermometers for the organization. What the C-19 Finance
Team is proposing is to work with our vendors that supply temp-kiosks. Faith Technologies
currently has 2 models that are available:
$5000

iPad with an app to take temp and verify a mask is in place

$24,000

Live Video capture can be viewed by Security. Two cameras, one takes
temperate, second scans body for weapons.
Designed for defense contract. Commonly used in hospitals

Gaming has used a different vendor that works through Las Vegas for software/ hardware
support.
We currently have several buildings that would meet the need to get the body scan model. The
Judicial building, school system (NHC and ONES), Social Service building and Health Center.
These buildings are chosen because of the safety of our children and government, the issues
already logged at Social Service Building and the clientele that frequents Social Service Building.
The Health Center was also suggested because of the medication that is located inside the
center.
The additional costs of these need to be considered when purchasing the surveillance models:
power source, network capabilities, along with location for the system to be monitored.
These iPad temperature kiosks would take the place of the multiple thermometer orders.
- GSD 19 Thermometers
- Health already purchased
- ONSS
- Judicial

These are needed for social distancing and are eligible for Treasury Covid Relief Funds. The
concern that MIS has is the lifecycle cost for departments that switch over to laptop/ docking
station. There also needs to be due diligence by the employee to connect the laptop to the
docking station, or Oneida Wi-Fi to download the monthly patches. It is unclear at the time of
this memo if connecting to the Oneida Wi-Fi through VPN will allow the monthly patches to
download. The solution that MIS will be offering soon is Workspace One which is a virtual
desktop that allows the employee to use their own personal desktop or laptop to access the
Oneida desktop. This is currently in test phase.
The lifecycle for desktop is about $600-$1000 every 5 years, and the lifecycle of the laptop is
typically 4-5 years as well and is about $1400 to update the laptop. The 105 laptops would be
about $150,000 as opposed to $63,000-105,000 for desktops.

Requests to approve using Treasury Covid Relief Funds:
Social Distance Decals 98 for GSD
Laptops, cameras, mics, wireless mouse, bags
Request to approve Temperature Kiosks plan
