Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
The grant proposal is for technical assistance for a comprehensive, combined, "Market and Feasibility Analysis"
for a proposed 10,000 sq. ft. Community Entrepreneurial Food Center that will include the two-pronged
approach of two feasibility studies: 1) Market Economic Business Analysis, and 2) Analysis of Physical
Environment.
Both studies will provide a complete analysis that will identify the market potential and demand, the right size
and elements, and the investment costs, and business viability for the locale. The comprehensive "Market and
Feasibility Analyses" will include the market potential based on the demographics of the region, case studies of
other entrepreneurial kitchens, start up and annual operating expenses; conceptual design to determine physical
elements and costs, and the FF&E.
All this will provide the components for a development package to determine viability and to serve for the
overall hard project costs and a road-map for sustain ability.

This is an update on our status with the Economic Development Agency Feasibility Study grant
application: EDA FY2016 Economic Development Assistance Program.
We have had several dialogues and a couple of in-person meetings with the Agency
representative, Mr. Lee Shirey, for a technical assistance grant that can help to support a
feasibility study for a Community Food Center for Central Oneida. The visuals have helped to
show that we are indeed interested in exploring this facility for our community, to expand our
cannery production facility, and to encourage entrepreneurs working in food production.
Today, and after several re-writes, we have finally developed a grant application for a feasibility
study. This "Economic Business Analysis" encompasses two studies: a) a market study to
determine the viability and needs, b) a physical space design to determine the potential size
and cost of the project.
The grant requires a Resolution that must include the cost matching allocation. The grant
request is for EDA funds of $135,000, with Oneida match of $12,700. This feasibility study, if it
deems viable for a Community Food Center, would support our Nation's Agricultural Strategy,
by ({increasing local ecol)omies" with entrepreneurs.

Economic Development Agency
Grant Summary 2016 (_ 0 ''d
,let-)
1'te. .
Entrepreneurs play a vital role in economic development as key contributors to new job growth.
Further, entrepreneurs help to build communities by providing jobs, conducting business locally
providing economic stimulus for the community, creating and participating in entrepreneurial networks,
investing in community projects, and giving to local charities. There is a need to aggressively cultivate
entrepreneurs as economic engines for development in low-income communities.
The current unemployment rate on the Oneida Reservation is over 16%; and the high rate of low income
and poverty experienced by Oneida youth in the tribal schools 87% and 30% respectively; exceeds the
surrounding communities. We believe that these factors can be mitigated by increasing economic
development.
We propose creating a Food Center/Entrepreneurial Kitchen as an economic driver and incubator for
small business, we believe that it would visibly anchor and engage the community in healthy foods, and
would show support the investment of tribal gaming funds to support the tr!bal community. It will also
allow the tribe to support development planning and the development of current reservation based
entrepreneurial projects such as the White Corn Project.
The planned incubator (a 10,000 sq. /ft. building) will consist of a 5,000 sq. /ft. commercial kitchen with
four kitchen stations and storage facilities. In addition to educational programs, the kitchen would be
open extended hours to support new food manufacturers, caterers, and bakers. Additional the
incubator will provide a small retail outlet for those new entrepreneurs requiring an on reservation
retail presence, and a storage center to serves as a food hub for local products. The presence of retail
producers operating within the facility will provide a source of income for the operation that will
support our sustainability efforts.
The additional space will be used to develop the training component. The program will use the available
workstations to provide training for line cooks, which are much needed in the greater Green Bay region;
classrooms; and meeting spaces for adjacent community colleges to utilize for academics; a 3,000 sq./ft.
dehydrating/processing/cannery/milling center. Training offerings will also include food handling for
both entrepreneurs and cooks to ensure compliance with FDA guidelines.
The technical assistance requested for the EDA planning grant is to develop an "Economic Business
Analysis" that will include a Market and a Feasibility Analysis, along with a Business and Operating Plan
for a proposed Rural Community Entrepreneurial Food Center. It would incorporate an Entrepreneurial
Kitchen Incubator, a small commercial food preservation (cannery) for processing, a small cafe as a retail
training environment, classrooms, and the ancillary elements related to a Food Center into a one stop
entrepreneurial development location. This technical assistance is to validate the cost and the physical
elements of the project.

Statement of Effect
Repeal of Resolution BC-12-23-09-A, Oneida Housing Authority Admissions and Occupancy Policy
Summary
This Resolution repeals resolution BC-12-23-09-A, entitled Oneida Housing Authority Admissions and
Occupancy Policy as it conflicts with the Landlord-Tenant law Rule #2, Income Based Rental Program
Eligibility, Selection and Other Requirements. Resolution BC-12-23-09-A prohibited the Oneida
Housing Authority (OHA) from using a failure to pay previous debt owed to a party other than
OHA to find an applicant or occupant ineligible for participating in OHA’s rental program.
Similarly, resolution BC-12-23-09-A prohibited OHA from using a previous debt related
eviction (i.e. failure to pay rent) from a housing entity other than OHA to find an applicant or
occupant ineligible for participating in OHA’s rental program.
Submitted by: Krystal L. John, Staff Attorney, Oneida Law Office
Analysis
On October 12, 2016, the Oneida Business Committee (OBC) adopted a new law entitled
Landlord-Tenant (Law) pursuant to BC Resolution 10-12-16-C. The resolution identified an
effective date of 120 calendar days or February 9, 2017. OHA’s assessment of its eligibility
criteria when developing the rules required by the Landlord-Tenant law to govern the incomebased rental program led OHA to a request of the Oneida Business Committee to repeal BC-1223-09-A, entitled Oneida Housing Authority Admissions and Occupancy Policy. By repealing
resolution BC-12-23-09-A, OHA proposes to consider all housing debts owed to and evictions
from the Comprehensive Housing Division, which includes OHA, Elder Services rentals and
Division of Land Management rentals.
The Landlord-Tenant law is silent as to debt/eviction considerations as related to eligibility in
section 710.4-2, but section 710.4-2(f) does allow rental programs to set additional eligibility
requirements by rule. The portions of the Landlord-Tenant law Rule #2 that conflict with
resolution BC-12-23-09-A are articles 2.4-4 and 2.4-5, excerpted below:
2.4-4. Outstanding Debts. Applicants for a rental agreement may not have a past due
balance greater than two hundred dollars ($200) owed to any utility provider and may not
have any prior debt owed to the Comprehensive Housing Division.
2.4-5. Prior Comprehensive Housing Division Eviction. Applicants that have had a
rental agreement with the Comprehensive Housing Division subject to an eviction and
termination within two (2) years from the date of the application are not eligible to
participate in the income-based rental program.
This resolution repeals the resolution. In order to ensure that future amendments to the incomebased rental rule do not consider evictions/debts from landlords other than the Nation and to
ensure that eligibility is not denied for debts owed to the utility providers with balances of less
than two hundred dollars ($200), the resolution includes a directive to the Legislative Operating
Page 1 of 2
Open Packet
Page 39 of 104
Committee to amend the Landlord-Tenant law. The amendments to the Landlord-Tenant law are
to include the following restrictions on the rules governing the income-based rental program:
1. The rules may not contain eligibility requirements that consider debt owed or
evictions from entities other than the Comprehensive Housing Division; and
2. The rules may contain eligibility requirements that consider debt owed to utility
providers, but may not deny eligibility for any debt owed to a utility provider
with a balance of less than two hundred dollars ($200).
While the repeal of the resolution does allow consideration of past evictions, a
provision was added to rule to specifically mention that a tenant whom was otherwise
ineligible may become eligible based on the Nation’s Pardon and Forgiveness law.
Conclusion
Adoption of this Resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws, provided that
adoption of this Resolution will require a 2/3 vote of the Oneida Business Committee.

Memorandum
To:
Oneida Business Committee
From: Trish King, Treasurer yi,
Date: March 16,2017
Re:
Update- BC Resolution #09-28-16-B
At the December 1, 2016, Community Development Planning Committee (C.D.P.C.) meeting,
the O.B.C. requested the Treasurer, via email/memo, to provide an update of the status to
creating the Economic Development and Diversification fund, BC Resolution #09-28-16-B.
The intent of BC Resolution #09-28-16-B is to establish an Economic Development and
Diversification fund, and source the fund with the dividends earned from the Oneida Total
Integrated Enterprises, LLC (O.T.I.E.). The ancillary intent of establishing the fund, which is
important to note, was to begin with generating additional housing opportunities within the
Oneida reservation boundaries. Establishing this fund is an initiative which aligns to the Oneida
Business Committee's focus initiatives titled, "Community Development" and "New Revenues"
which align to the O.B.c.'s strategic direction titled, "Implementing 'Good Governance'
Since the Oneida Business Committee has determined that O.T.I.E. funds be designated for
housing opportunities; and will be allocated as a fund resource within the Capital Improvement
Process {C.I.P.), then no standard operating procedures are needed.
However, according to G.A.S.B., if the O.B.C. creates an external entity like an L.L.C., $Corporation, (-Corporation, etc., and the external entity requests to access the return
investment funds from O.T.I.E., then Finance will be responsible to develop the Standard
Operating Procedures to transfer those investment monies from our internal investment
portfolio to that external entity of the Oneida Nation.
YawAko for your attention in this matter.

6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
Purpose:
The project team is seeking approval of the project's Capital Improvement Process (CIP) #13-011 Concept Paper,
see attached.
Background:
A new high school in the Oneida Community has been a long time desire of students, parents, school staff and
community members. Concern for students safety at our current high school prompted a request to explore the
potential of a new high school in Oneida. In 2006, a feasibility study was conducted and completed. No decision
was made, at the time, to proceed with the project. No action has been taken on the project since then.
Approval of the project's CIP Concept Paper will allow the project to proceed into the next phase of the process,
completing a CIP Package. The CIP Package would then be brought forward for approval before the project
could proceed.
Action Requested:
Approval of CIP Concept Paper for project #13-011 Oneida Nation High School
1) Save a copy of this form for your records.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS (CIP)- CONCEPT PAPER
For
The New Oneida Nation High School
CIP #13-011
March 6, 2017
I. Purpose:
A. The general purpose of this project is to provide an exceptional facility for the Oneida Nation
High School to house a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing high school for Oneida
students as well as other Native American high school age students, and serving as the
foundation for a quality educational experience of all students, families and the Oneida
Community in turn contributing to national pride.
II. Project Analysis
A. Project Description: This project entails the construction of a new high school for the
Oneida Nation School System of approximately 74,000 to 88,000 square feet having a
capacity of 200 to 300 students. This facility will replace the existing high school of 48,000
square feet located at the Norbert Hill Center where the building is shared with the Oneida
Business Committee, associated staff and other tribal programs.
B. Assumptions:
1. The Tribal organization and the Oneida Community will support the project
moving forward.
2. Funding will be available for developing the project.
3. The project will move forward in a timely manner.
4. A new facility will provide a much safer and secure environment for the
students.
5. A new facility will provide more area for additional programmed academic
classes and extracurricular activities.
6. A new facility will provide a stronger identity for the Oneida Nation High
School as well as the entire Oneida Nation School System and Community.
7. The new facility will be energy efficient.
8. The new facility will attract more students.
C. Operational Impact:
1. A new high school will require additional services for which more support staff
will be required from DPW, Custodial, MIS, etc.
2. The development of a new high school will require additional teaching,
administrative, and other professional staff.
3. A full evaluation of necessary staff, services and equipment will be included in
the project's CIP Package.
D. Organizational Goals: The project would support the following goals and objectives of
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan for the Oneida Reservation and its 2014 update:

Plan Element: EDUCATION
1. GOAL: Ayehya?tuhskayntehl!halc~- "Someone will be educated".
a. Objective: Provide the highest quality education system.
2. ·GOAL: Provide a safer and more secure learning environment.
a. Objective: Provide a secure environment by limiting access to the
facility.
Plan Element: CULTURE
1. GOAL: Tsi?Niyukwaliho-t/\- Our Ways (Culture).
b. Objective: Preserve Oneida Culture and Language.
Ayukwatenhotukwathat stayt'tak~- we all sho1uld have a key.
Plan Element: HEALTH
1. GOAL: Ata kali tatsla- Health/ Liveliness- Healthcare.
c. Objective: Improve physical and mental health of the Oneida
Community.
2. GOAL: Luwatiya?takenhas -They help them- Human Development.
d. Objective: Improve quality oflife through social programming.
. III. Market
A. Market Served: Currently, 126 Oneida high school age students attend O.N.H.S, there is
potential of an additional 100 to 264 Oneida Students and other Native American High
school age students in the area. It is also projected there will be an additional twenty
(20) staff with the new school.
B. Competition: There are seven (7) school districts in and around the exterior
boundm·ies of the Oneida Reservation. Within these districts there are twelve (12) high
schools Oneida students may attend. There are also some that choose to attend BIE
Boarding Schools located outside of the state of Wisconsin. Because the Oneida Nation
High School cannot provide classes and activities such as foreign languages, music,
wood working, metals, automotive, cad/cmn, printing, photography, etc. at the current
location, students decide to migrate to outside schools. They also chose to migrate to
participate in more competitive spmis.

IV. Potential Risk: Potential risks associated with this project are:
A. No support for the project from the Oneida Business Committee or the Oneida
community.
.
B. Not enough financial resources for development of the project.
C. Failure to meet and fulfill the Comprehensive Plan's goals and objectives that would be
supported by this project would mean the Oneida Nation risks failing to provide the
highest quality education system and to provide a safer, more secure learning
environment.
V. Potential Investment:
A. Funding Sources: potential funding sources for the project include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Community Development Block Grant
Bureau oflndian Education
Philanthropic Organizations
CIP Budget
B. Development Costs: This project will not require any funding for completing the
project's CIP Package if the Concept Paper is approved.
C. Construction Cost Target:
1. Construction cost is targeted to be in the $170.00 to $25 0. 00 per square foot
range for the building only. Site work, soft and miscellaneous costs, fumiture,
fixtures, equip111ent, and contingency are in addition to this construction cost.
2. The project's CIP Package will identify the total project budget estimate.
Potential Social Investment
D. The project will bring'1 00+ students back to our community in the first year of
operation. Children graduating from gth grade in our school system will choose to
remain in our system based on the quality of education, extra-curricular offerings and a
state of the art facility located in the heart of the Oneida Community .
. E. Children who have had language and culture classes since Head Start and kindergarten
will continue with language, culture and history curriculum.
F. The physical and mental health of Oneida students will improve with better designed and
appropriate classroom space, support staff and with more athletic venues offered.

Recommendations
A. It is recommended strong consideration be given to this project in order to help the
Oneida Nation School System accomplish goals and objectives in their work plans as
well as those set in the Oneida Reservation Comprehensive Plan.
B. It is recommended strong consideration be given to this project for the benefit of our
children and future generations. The existing facility is full of offices with the High
School squeezed into small classrooms and patch work services. The new facility will
provide a high school learning atmosphere, space for consolidated services, room for
expansion and a facility to house our high school age members. This facility will
facilitate and encourage the preservation of our language, culture, and history through
socialization, athletics and pedagogy.
C. It is recommended strong consideration be given to this project in order to provide a
safer, more secure facility for the Oneida Nation High School Students.

Good Morning OBC Officers and Troy –
If the Oneida Nation is planning on submitting an application, I would strongly suggest sending the grant
writer to Chicago for the ICDBG grant training when it is offered by ONAP. It has been some time since
the last ICDBG grant award to Oneida and their scoring of this competitive grant has probably
changed. The grant is for $600,000 and there will be a need for Tribal contribution of $200,000 in order
to get points in the scoring of the grant.

Indian Community Development Block Grant competitive grant
application
Good Morning OBC –
The notice of funding availability (NOFA) came out on 03/09/17 for the Indian Community Development
Block Grant (ICDBG). This grant is for $600,000 in our HUD housing region and can be for community
projects. Grant applications are due by May 18, 2017. This is not much time due to the number of items
that need to be completed prior to grant submittal.
1. Identify community project for the ICDBG grant application.
2. Create a grant application team composed of a grants writer, planning design elements,
financial support, grants office and I would suggest a community member invested in a
successful project. You need a driver to push the grant application forward in order to hit that
application deadline.
3. Send a couple grant team members to Chicago HUD office for the ICDBG training session. The
training is usually 2 days.
4. Design elements picturing the proposed project.
5. Hold a community meeting to propose grant activity and how it will support the Oneida
community. A sign in sheet is needed to provide evidence of community support for the project.
6. Tribal resolution approving the grant application and resolution supporting the sustainability of
the project through Tribal financial or maintenance commitment to the project in future.
7. I would suggest getting the application in 1 week prior to the deadline to ensure the application
with all the attachments are received at HUD on time. The 1 week would allow the Oneida
Nation time to make any modification to the application submittal and still hit the deadline.
I cannot stress you enough the deadline of May 18, 2017 will be upon us very quickly. If you have any
questions please call me at 869‐6198, my direct line.
