numbers of individuals becoming ill and high mortality rates, impacts to the stock markets,

and businesses; and

WHEREAS,

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; and

WHEREAS,

on March 12, 2020 the Chairman declared a Public Health State of Emergency, the Oneida

Business Committee took actions to take steps to protect the health and welfare of the

members, employees and the community, including instituting expenditure restrictions to

preserve resources for the provision of governmental services to members most at risk,

closure of the Nation’s gaming operations, and insuring that employees will continue to be

paid during the Public Health State of Emergency as long as the Nation’s resources will

allow; and

WHEREAS,

the Public Health State of Emergency has extended continuously since the initial

declaration; and

Statement of Effect

Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until May 23, 2022

Summary

This resolution extends the Nation’s Declaration of the Public Health State of Emergency until

May 23, 2022.

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

Date: March 16, 2022

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Oneida Business Committee (“OBC”) adopted the Emergency Management law to provide

for the development and execution of plans that protect residents, property and the environment in

an emergency or disaster; provide for the direction of emergency management, response and

recovery on the Reservation, as well as coordination with other agencies, victims, businesses and

organizations; establish the use of the National Incident Management System; and designate

authority and responsibilities for public health preparedness. [3 O.C. 302.1-1].

Under the Emergency Management law, the OBC is delegated 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 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 OBC may last for longer

than sixty (60) days, unless renewed by the OBC. [3 O.C. 302.8-2].

As a result of the COVID-19 virus, in accordance with the authority granted to the OBC under the

Emergency Management law, on March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a “Declaration

of Public Health State of Emergency” which set 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 OBC has since extended

the Public Health State of Emergency until January 23, 2022, through adoption of the following

resolutions: BC-03-26-20-A, BC-05-06-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC-08-06-20-A,

BC-09-09-20-A, BC-10-08-20-A, BC-11-10-20-A, BC-12-09-20-D, BC-01-07-21-A, BC-02-1021-A, BC-03-10-21-D, and BC-05-12-21-A, BC-06-23-21-B, BC-07-28-21-N, BC-09-22-21-A,

BC-11-24-21-F, and BC-01-12-22-B. [3 O.C. 302.8-2].

This resolution provides that the OBC has determined that continuing the Public Health State of

Emergency remains necessary given the ongoing pandemic impact and the limitations of

mechanisms to control for infection or protect the public.

RE:

Recommendations to extend public health emergency

Throughout the pandemic, we have chosen to follow the science in our mitigation strategies

aimed to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the Oneida Community.

On Feb 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated

guidance and metrics for monitoring the pandemic. With widespread access to vaccines

and testing, available treatment options and high levels of population immunity, a new

approach to monitoring the preventing COVID-19 is necessary. These metrics include:

1. The number of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days.

2. New COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 population in the past 7 days.

3. The average percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients in

the past 7 days.

The WI Department of Health Services (DHS) supports the CDC recommendations to

better monitor medically significant illness, burden on the healthcare system, and protect

the most vulnerable through vaccines, therapeutic and COVID-19 prevention in WI.

Using these updated metrics, both Brown and Outagamie Counties currently have a “low”

COVID-19 Community Level. However, COVID-19 is not gone. Although COVID-19

metrics are moving in the right direction, we recognize the benefit in extending the public

health emergency declaration. The extension will allow time to evaluate the community

impact of relaxing mitigation strategies, as well as time to work through some recovery

activities.

In collaboration with Oneida Emergency Management, the health response team

recommends the Oneida Business Committee extend the public health emergency

another 60 days.

Recommendations will continue to change based upon available data and updates on the

COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your continued collaboration and partnership as we

work together to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the Oneida community.

Public Gatherings - Indoor and Outdoor - Safety Guidance

Summary

This resolution supersedes Oneida Business Committee resolution BC-12-08-21-B, Updating

Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of Emergency - COVID-19, and provides

updated guidelines on holding meetings both indoors and outdoors.

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

Date: March 18, 2022

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 March 24, 2022, through the adoption of the following resolutions: BC-03-26-20-A, BC-0506-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC-08-06-20-A, BC-09-09-20-A, BC-10-08-20-A,

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-05-1221-A, BC-06-23-21-B, BC-07-28-21-N, BC-09-22-21-A, BC-11-24-21-F, and BC-01-12-22-B. [3

O.C. 302.8-2].

On August 3, 2021, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-08-03-21-A, Setting

Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of Emergency - COVID-19, which

Page 1 of 3

Public Packet

59 of 327

rescinded 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 should be

canceled. Resolution BC-08-03-21-A directed 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. Resolution BC-08-03-21-A also identified 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%). Individuals,

business, and event coordinators were also directed by resolution BC-08-03-21-A to follow the

guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control as revised to meet changing pandemic impacts.

Then on December 8, 2021, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-12-08-21-B,

Updating Public Gathering Guidelines During Public Health State of Emergency – COVID-19.

Resolution BC-12-08-21-B superseded resolution BC-08-03-21-Aand provided updated

guidelines on holding meetings both indoors and outdoors. Resolution BC-12-08-21-B provided

that when the following levels are met, indoor meetings of the Nation are feasible, provided that

all organizers and participants should consider additional health safety measures when attending

such as wearing a face mask, washing hands frequently, and social distancing:

 When COVID-19 Case Activity rates are at or below low in Brown and Outagamie

Counties, or the county in which the activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin

Department of Health Services website for the most recent period.

 When COVID-19 Percent Positive rates are at or below low in Brown and Outagamie

Counties, or the county in which the activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin

Department of Health Services website for the most recent period.

 When COVID-19 Community Transmission Rates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area are at or

below low in ZIP Codes 54155, 54301, 54302 and 54303, or the ZIP Code in which the

activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services

website for the most recent period.

Resolution BC-12-08-21-B also provided that when the following levels are met, outdoor

gatherings of the Oneida Nation are feasible, provided that all organizers and participants should

consider additional health safety measures when attending such as wearing a face mask, washing

hands frequently, and social distancing:

 When COVID-19 Case Activity rates are at or below medium in Brown and Outagamie

Counties, or the county in which the activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin

Department of Health Services website for the most recent period.

 When COVID-19 Percent Positive rates are at or below medium in Brown and Outagamie

Counties, or the county in which the activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin

Department of Health Services website for the most recent period.

 When COVID-19 Community Transmission Rates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area are at or

below moderate in ZIP Codes 54155, 54301, 54302 and 54303, or the ZIP Code in which

the activity is being held, as identified on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services

website for the most recent period.

Resolution BC-12-08-21-B directed that as this pandemic proceeds, individuals, business, and

event coordinators should follow the guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control as revised to

meet changing pandemic impact, and that the resolution shall remain in place so long as the

declaration of a Public Health State of Emergency remains in place.

The Oneida Business Committee has continuously looked to the United States national health

experts in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to provide guidance during the pandemic, and

to the Department of Health Services regarding Wisconsin specific information on the prevalence

of the virus and positive COVID-19 tests. The information and guidance available to the Oneida

Business Committee has changed and been updated based on the development of vaccines,

immunities, treatments and health safety measures. The Public Health Officer has kept the Oneida

Business Committee informed on the changing guidance and the current CDC guidance which

now focus on COVID-19 Community Levels, or “measures of the impact of COVID-19 in terms

of hospitalizations and healthcare system strain, while accounting for transmission in the

community.” The Oneida Business Committee believes that ongoing monitoring of COVID-19

and its impact on the community may result in additional guidance to the community to stay safe

and healthy.

Upon adoption by the Oneida Business Committee, this resolution will supersede resolution BC12-08-21-B and provide updated guidelines on holding meetings both indoors and outdoors. This

resolution provides that when COVID-19 Community Levels are at or below low in Brown and

Outagamie Counties, or the county in which the activity is being held, as identified on the Centers

for Disease Control website for the most recent period, indoor meetings of the Oneida Nation are

feasible, provided that all organizers and participants should consider additional health safety

measures when attending such as wearing a face mask, washing hands frequently, and social

distancing. In regard to outdoor meetings, this resolution provides that when COVID-19

Community Levels are at or below medium in Brown and Outagamie Counties, or the county in

which the activity is being held, as identified on the Centers for Disease Control website for the

most recent period, outdoor gatherings of the Oneida Nation are feasible, provided that all

organizers and participants should consider additional health safety measures when attending such

as wearing a face mask, washing hands frequently, and social distancing. This resolution then

provides that as this pandemic proceeds, individuals, business, and event coordinators should

follow the guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control as revised to meet changing pandemic

impacts. This resolution will remain in effect until midnight on April 27, 2022, unless extended

by the Oneida Business Committee.

Conclusion

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

to move forward with the assessment project.

The Oneida Nation must take immediate action to shore up its cyber defenses.

Oppose.

For The Record: I need more information, ARPA funding has been converted to Revenue Loss and is

now Tribal Contribution. Which Revenue Loss category is the obligation coming from? What is the

specific cyberthreat, is there one active, if so what is it? How long has this contract been in place or

discussed, what are the provisions? Is this a current vendor? And lastly, there has been no

discussion on an emergency attack on our system, I’m concerned there are too many unanswered

questions. I think a BC meeting should be called at minimum.

Good morning, request is denied. I do not believe this is in line with our priorities. The ARPA and

Revenue Replacement funds need to be reevaluated. ASKING FOR THIS IS NOT JUSTIFIED. There is

not current threat to Tribes and their communities that I am aware of. I believe we need more input

and interaction with the CIO. What are Mr. Archiquette’s current objectives? How is he providing

training to the area he oversees?

It seems this request is reactionary.

Re: Cybersecurity Threats/Warfare - Emergency

Recent events regarding the Ukrainian and Russian war in addition to the rise of recent cyber-attacks

against tribes and businesses have brought a greater potential for cyber threats and/or cyber warfare.

The Oneida Nation must take immediate action to shore up its cyber defenses. The Digital Technology

Services (DTS) Department has been actively working on an engagement with a cybersecurity firm,

Synercomm, to complete several cybersecurity assessments to identify areas of strength and weakness.

Cybersecurity Assessments

• Network Discovery

• Standards-Based Security Planning

• Penetration Testing

• Security Program Control Assessment

After completion of the cybersecurity assessments and areas of strength and weakness are identified, another

engagement will commence to utilize Synercomm to help augment the Oneida Nation’s DTS Security Team to

mitigate the potential risks.

Thank you for your consideration.

VII. NEW BUSINESS :

1. Investment Update: Sage Point

Scott Webster, Sage Point Advisor

Scott Webster was on the call and provided a verbal update on the Executive Contingency

Fund as well as the Large Cap Fund that Sage Point manages for the Oneida Nation.

Although last year was good for both funds, the current environment with multiple

detriments, i.e. rising fuel prices, supply chain delays, and the war in Ukraine is making the

whole market volatile; the fed is expected to raise interest rates later this week, which in

the long term should assist the market to rebound. More information will be provided from

the summaries.

Motion by Jennifer Webster to accept as FYI the investment update from Sage Point as

presented from Scott Webster, Sage Point Advisor. Seconded by Patrick Stensloff. Motion

carried unanimously.

Larry relayed that the Four Fires Update will be reported at the 4/18/22 FC meeting.

reviewed; he echoed Scotts remarks on the volatility issues just seen this last quarter, but

did note that there was a 13.69% annual return (equated to 5.5 million) for FY2021 in the

stocks portfolio while bonds were comparable to their benchmarks for FY2021. The current

unrest and economic issues will be an ongoing challenge that will deter the market.

presented by the CFO. Seconded by Patrick Stensloff. Larry Barton abstained. Motion

carried.

Business Committee Agenda Request – Cover Memo

From:

Lisa Liggins, Secretary

Date:

3/16/2022

RE:

Consider three (3) corrective actions regarding the Finance Committee bylaws

PURPOSE

Business Committee action is needed to correct an issue with the Nation’s records that has

been identified while researching the Finance Committee bylaws.

BACKGROUND

This issue was placed on the March 15, 2022, BC Work session for discussion but due to the

lengthy agenda and discussion, it was not addressed and has been forwarded to the March 23,

2022, regular Business Committee meeting agenda for consideration.

REQUESTED ACTION

Please see attached memorandum dated March 13, 2022.

Memorandum

To:

Oneida Business Committee

From: Lisa Liggins, Secretary

Date: March 13, 2022

Re:

Finance Committee bylaws issue

Background

A few Business Committee (BC) meetings ago, there was an error on the BC meeting agenda

where the action related to the meeting minutes from a couple Standing Committees was listed

as “Approve…” instead of “Accept…”.

Councilman Kirby Metoxen had asked what the difference between the two actions was and I

explained that an action to “accept” means the information is being entered into the record as

information, and that an action to “approve” is used when BC approval is required.

I also noted that until a few years ago, Finance Committee meeting minutes required BC

approval before action could be taken on the items submitted to the Finance Committee but

now, they only required acceptance; I indicated that I was unsure exactly how this change

occurred, whether it was BC action or an amendment to the Finance Committee bylaws.

After the BC meeting, I began a search to find out what changed the BC action as it relates to

Finance Committee meeting minutes. I first reviewed the bylaws for the Finance Committee

that were posted on the Nation’s website1. These were from 2005 and do not include the

Purchasing Manager, who is currently a member of the Finance Committee. I inquired with

Denise Vigue if these were the most up-to-date bylaws, and she provided an unsigned set of

Finance Committee bylaws from 2011 (see attached pages 1-3).

My intent was to find the final BC approval of 2011 bylaws so they could be signed and the

records could be updated and posted on the website accordingly.

Findings from Research

It appears that a motion was made by the Finance Committee on October 7, 2011, to “approve

the inclusion of the Purchasing Manager to the Finance Committee thereby amending the

Finance Committee bylaws to reflect this inclusion.” (see attached page 4)

https://oneida‐nsn.gov/government/business‐committee/standing‐committees/finance‐committee/#Bylaws

Page 1 of 2

Public Packet

104 of 327

I was able to identify that the bylaws amendment request was forwarded to the Legislative

Operating Committee by the Oneida Business Committee on October 12, 2011 (see attached

page 5). It was identified that proposed revised bylaws were forwarded to the Finance

Committee from the LOC in March of 2012 and that no response was received for over two

years (see attached pages 6-8). The LOC removed the item from its active files list in 2014 (see

attached page 9).

In addition to the above, to answer the original question as to how the change from “approve…”

to “accept…” happened for Finance Committee meeting minutes, Denise Vigue provided a

September 4, 2019, memo from Treasurer King and Larry Barton, CFO, which identified that as

an “approver in the procurement process of the Purchasing Policies and Procedures” the

Finance Committee has determined that items approved at a Finance Committee meeting “will

no longer have to wait until the OBC approves the Finance Committee meeting minutes.” I am

not certain that this was an appropriate process without additional action by the OBC, since

approval by the OBC was required in order to authorize the expenditures prior to that memo. I

could not locate any BC action that simply accepted this change in approval process.

Suggested Corrective actions and next steps

I am recommending three actions to be taken at the 3/23/22 regular BC meeting:



Motion to retro-actively approve the September 4, 2019, memo from Treasurer King and

Larry Barton, CFO, changing the approval of the Finance Committee minutes to

acceptance of the minutes and to retro-actively approve the determination of Treasurer

King and Larry Barton, CFO that the Purchasing Policies and Procedures require only

approval of the Finance Committee without further action by the Oneida Business

Committee.

Motion to direct the Finance Committee to submit the bylaws to the Legislative

Operating Committee to comply with the Boards, Committees and Commissions law and

properly incorporate the requested amendments and direct that the final bylaws

amendments be presented to the BC within six months.

Motion to authorize the Purchasing Manager to serve on the Finance Committee

retroactively to October 7, 2011.

carried unanimously.

2. Dean Rasmussen Trucking LLC Contract-PO Approval

Leroy King, DPW Facilities Supervisor

Amount: $58,869.95

Discussion: DPW did solicit from 2 Oneida vendors who specialize in concrete work; not a wider

group to choose from as this work is detailed and specialized; Purchasing Manager noted process

is complete for this contract.

order in the amount of $58,869.95. Seconded by Terry Cornelius. Vince DelaRosa abstained.

Motion carried.

3. ADD ON-FC Bylaws Change -membership

Larry Barton, CFO

Discussion: Larry reiterated reasons cited in his memo adding inclusion of Purchasing Manager

on the Finance Committee will greatly enhance communication to the committee about the due

diligence of contracts that come before the committee; he will be able to answer the many

questions committee has; add to committees ability to move items along quicker and add to

committees responsibilities to safeguard the assets and expenditures of the tribe; in event Finance

personnel not available as some meetings Purchasing Manager can provide details for the

committee.

law firm as she can participate via satellite at board meetings; she is a native person; and not

many firms that specialize in tribal law related to BIA and tribal schools.

legal representation for school board members in the amount of $60,000.00. Seconded by

Brandon Stevens For the Record: I just have, as a matter of adding the Purchasing

Manager I think because the Chief Financial Officer, Purchasing Manager and I

believe the Chief Financial Advisor is on there too. They are all under the purview

of the Treasurer which kind of, I would like to have that spread out, as I guess the

authority, for a little more balance, checks and balances there. Line 115, that’s

where they put in there the Purchasing Manager instead of the General Manager.

Larry chairs the meeting if the Treasurer is not in. I read through this real quick.

Because Terry sits there and then the last meeting I was at Larry was chairing the

meeting and Terry was actually in the meeting also and they looked at each other to

see, is it okay if I agree with this. So, they usually…So, I don't think they're

following the bylaws.

Motion made by Vince DelaRosa to defer the Finance Committee Bylaws to the

Legislative Reference Office to update the draft with the recommended

amendments, seconded by David P. Jordan. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion made by Paul Ninham to forward the Finance Committee Bylaws to the

Finance Committee for consideration of approval, seconded by Brandon Stevens.

Motion carried unanimously.

Finance Committee: Motion by Larry Barton to allow a 30 day window to forward

all edits/comments to the Finance Office to compile and make recommendations to

is present. Seconded by Chad Fuss. Motion carried unanimously.

RE:

Lynn A. Franzmeier, Staff Attorney

July 25, 2014

Removal of Finance Committee Bylaws from Active Files List

On October 12, 2011, the Oneida Business Committee considered a request to review/approve

amendments to the Finance Committee Bylaws (Bylaws), which they deferred to the Legislative

Operating Committee (LOC). On November 2, 2011, the LOC added the Bylaws to the Active

Files List to consider the amendments to the Bylaws which would remove the General Manager

as a required member of the Committee and include the Purchasing Manager in the General

Manager’s place. On March 9, 2012, the LOC forwarded proposed Bylaws to the Finance

Committee (Committee) for consideration. The LOC requested the Committee forward any

changes back to the LOC or send the Bylaws to the Oneida Business Committee for final

approval. The Bylaws were on the Committee’s agendas over the next several months, however,

there was no action taken with regards to the Bylaws.

It has been over two years since the Bylaws were forwarded to the Committee and it is requested

that this item be removed from the Active Files List. The Finance Administration Executive

Assistant has been contacted regarding this item and it is her belief that the Committee does not

plan on reviewing the Bylaws at this time. This item can be reintroduced to the LOC in the

future when the Committee is ready to move forward with amendments to the Bylaws.

Requested Action

Remove the Finance Committee Bylaws from the Active Files List.
