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

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

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.
Requested Action:
Adopt resolution entitled "Obligation of Funds from ARPA‐FRF‐LR for Network Maturity and Risk

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.
