Dear Ms. Tingle:

As you know, in early 2015, the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin requested that the Division of

Tribal Justice Support conduct an assessment of the Oneida Nation Judiciary (the Judiciary).

That assessment was conducted in August and September of 2015 by the Tribal Justice

Support - Tribal Court Assessment Team (the Team), and the resulting report of that

assessment was presented to the Oneida Nation Business Committee (OBC) in July of 2016.

The Judiciary has worked very closely with the Team throughout the assessment process, and

we appreciate the opportunity to participate in this process and the effort that Tribal Justice

Support has shown in completing a rigorous review and developing exhaustive

recommendations.

A number of the recommendations in the Team’s Report envision the dedication of

additional funding. I am enclosing herewith for your consideration a complete request for

funding that was approved by the Oneida Business Committee pursuant to Resolution No.

(Insert Resolution Number Here). The request is detailed in an Excel spreadsheet and the

support for each line item of the request is tabbed by number corresponding to the

spreadsheet line item. We hope, and hereby ask, that Tribal Justice Support approve the full

funding request. If you have any questions about this request, please do not hesitate to

contact me. As always, your assistance in this process is greatly appreciated by the Nation

and I thank you on their and my behalf.

Sincerely,

Cristina Danforth, Chairwoman

Statement of Effect

Oneida Nation Seal and Flag Rules Extension

Summary

This Resolution grants the parties responsible for developing and adopting rules governing the

maintenance, placement and authorized use of the Oneida Nation Seal a ninety (90) day

extension to create and make effective such rules.

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

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

On January 11, 2017, the Oneida Business Committee adopted a new law entitled Oneida Nation

Seal and Flag (Law) pursuant to the Oneida Business Committee resolution BC-01-11-17-C. The

resolution identified an effective date of 60 days from the date of adoption, March 12, 2017. The

Resolution also required that the Oneida Nation Secretary create rules in accordance with these

amendments and shall have the final rules prepared within 60 calendar days.

The Law grants rulemaking authority to the Oneida Nation Secretary to create rules to govern the

placement, maintenance and authorized use of the official Oneida Nation Seal. [See Oneida

Nation Seal and Flag 116.4-4]. These rules will not be completed by the effective date of the

law, March 12, 2017. In order to comply with the process set forth in the Administrative

Rulemaking law, the Oneida Nation Secretary is requesting more time to develop rules

governing the maintenance, placement and authorized use of the Oneida Nation Seal.

The Resolution allows the parties responsible for developing and adopting rules governing the

placement, maintenance and authorized use of the Oneida Nation Seal a ninety (90) day

extension to create and make effective such rules. The ninety (90) day extension shall not impact

the effective date of the Oneida Nation Seal and Flag law. The Law is able to become effective

on March 12, 2017, because the Law provides minimum requirements for the use of the official

Oneida Nation Seal. [see Oneida Nation Seal and Flag 116.4-2].

Conclusion

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

Oneida Wellness Council - Exercise At Work Strategy

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe

recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,

of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation, a progressive organization that values the health and well-being of its

members and employees, aims to keep health benefits at a maximum while health

insurance premiums are kept at a minimum; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation Wellness Council is focused on helping members and employees of

the Oneida Nation create simple, healthy habits to improve well-being by empowering

members and employees with an opportunity to engage in healthy activities; and

WHEREAS,

nutrition, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol use; and

WHEREAS,

more than thirty four percent (34.9%), or more than seventy eight (78.6) million adults ·in

the United States are obese (JAMA, 2014); and

WHEREAS,

fifty two percent (52%) of adults aged eighteen (18) years or older do not meet

recommendations for aerobic exercise or physical activity. Additionally, seventy six

percent (76%) do not meet recommendations for muscle strengthening physical activity

(CDC, 2016); and

WHEREAS,

in 2008, the estimated annual medical costs attributable to obesity in the United States

was one hundred and forty seven billion dollars ($147 billion), resulting in the medical

WHEREAS,

musculoskeletal and mental health are some of the Oneida Nation's top health care

claims; and

WHEREAS,

the United States Surgeon General reports that regular physical activity that is performed

on most days of the week reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the

leading causes of illness and death in the United States. Regular physical activity

reduces the risk of dying from heart disease and diabetes, developing high blood

pressure, reduces feelings of depression and anxiety, and helps weight control; and

WHEREAS,

increased daily physical activity and exercise not only helps prevent and reduce injuries

at work, but it can help reduce mental health and musculoskeletal health issues, body fat,

a Wellness Exercise at Work pilot study in Oneida showed that:

• Fifty four percent (54%) of participants lowered their health risk by 7.1 points on

average;

• Every participant in the pilot improved in at least one of the nine (9) fitness areas;

• Seventy nine percent (79%) of participants reported an improvement in quality of

life;

• Seventy five percent (75%) reported an improvement in productivity;

• The cost avoidance may nearly double the cost to implement the Wellness

at Work Resolution directing the Oneida Nation to provide that managers, directors, and

supervisors may allow flexibility during the workday for employees to engage in physical

activity.

BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED, that in accordance with this resolution; managers, directors, and

supervisors may permit full-time status employees to use up to maximum of thirty (30)

minutes of paid time off per day, either in a single thirty (30) minute period or

incrementally throughout an employee's shift, to engage in physical activity either on or

off the work site.

BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED, that employees who are not full-time status are not eligible to participate in

this benefit.

BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED, that this paid physical activity time shall not accrue or be carried over from

one day to another, and must be approved in advance by an employee’s supervisor.

BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED, that supervisors shall have full discretion to determine whether to authorize

paid physical activity time for an employee; however, supervisors shall not authorize any

employee to use paid physical activity time during any week in which that employee may

Statement of Effect

Resolution: Oneida Wellness Council - Exercise at Work Strategy

Summary

This resolution establishes a policy that allows for full-time employees of the Nation to

use up to 30 minutes per day of paid time off, during their shift, to engage in physical activity.

Submitted by: Tani Thurner, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The resolution has been submitted by the Wellness Committee, which is a subcommittee

of the Quality of Life Committee, which is a standing committee of the Oneida Business

Committee. This proposal comes as a result of a similar pilot program which was implemented

and monitored by the Wellness Committee.

For findings, this resolution cites several statistics related to the negative health effects

and costs of obesity, and statistics related to the health benefits of exercise for employees. This

statement of effect only identifies how the proposed resolution would impact existing laws of the

Nation. The statistics are not included in this review.

The resolution establishes an Exercise at Work directive which provides for the following

requirements to go into effect as of December 1, 2017:

• Managers, directors, and supervisors may allow full-time status employees to use up to a

half-hour each day of paid time off, to engage in physical activity, either on or off the

work site.

• Only full-time status employees are eligible for this benefit. All other employees are

ineligible.

• This is paid time off; it does not accrue and cannot be carried over from day to day.

Employees may use this time either in a single 30-minute period or in smaller increments

throughout their shift.

• Any use of this paid time off must be approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor,

and supervisors have full discretion as to whether to allow an employee to use this time.

However:

o Supervisors cannot authorize an employee to use paid physical activity time

during any week in which that employee may be earning overtime; and

o Supervisors cannot authorize an employee’s use of this paid time off when it

would interfere with the business of the Tribe.

• Employees who choose to partake in this paid physical activity time will not be eligible

for Worker’s Compensation for any injury that occurs during, or as a result of, paid

physical activity time, regardless of whether the injury occurs at or away from the

worksite.

• The Wellness Council is responsible for developing an implementation plan and for

overseeing the implementation of these requirements.

Page 1 of 2

Open Packet

Page 47 of 97

Other Laws of the Nation

The Workers Compensation Law [section 13.3-13] states that employees are ineligible to

receive workers compensation benefits for injuries that are caused by or during:

(i) activities of the employee during meal/lunch/dinner breaks while off [the] employer's

premises, and

(o) voluntary participation in an employer-sponsored recreation or fitness activity.

This exercise time does not appear to fit into either of those categories – the first only

applies during “breaks” while the employee is off-premises; and it is not clear whether broadly

authorizing employees to take time for exercise would be considered a specific employersponsored recreation or fitness activity.

This resolution includes a provision which specifically states that employees are not

eligible for Workers Compensation for injuries sustained during this paid time off.

Existing Law Governing Paid Time Off

The Nation offers various opportunities for employees to take paid time off from their

regular work schedule; including for funerals, jury duty, military reservist training, meetings

related to Tribal business; and to attend educationally-sanctioned events for children in the

employee’s family.

Some of these leave types were established by OBC directive or resolution, but they are

all currently set out in section IV.D (titled “Leaves”) of the Personnel Policies and Procedures

(Blue Book). For consistency, it may be appropriate to eventually add this type of leave to the

“Leaves” section of the Blue Book.

Conclusion

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

Oneida Code of laws Reorganization Update

TO:

FROM:

DATE:

RE:

----:P __;)

The following is an update regarding BC Resolution #01-13-16-B: Oneida Code of laws Reorganization.

Please find attached:

-BC Resolution 01-13-16-B : Oneida Code of Laws Reorganization

-Oneida Code of Laws Reorganization Table

BACKGROUND

BC Resolution #01-13-16-B Oneida Code of Laws Reorganization, directs the Legislative Operating

Committee to begin a reorganization ofthe Oneida Code of Laws.

The Resolution's whereas section indicates that the LOC and LRO are to;

1. Conduct a review of all existing laws

2. Develop a conversion table which would list all sections contained in the law as it was

previously organized and in the new format

3. And as each title is prepared, the LOC would bring them forward one-by-one to the Business

Committee

After review, the LRO Directo r determined that creating the conversion table for approximately 97 laws,

and then submitting each title one at a time would have taken significantly longer than making all the

updates at once. If all the updates were completed at once, there would be no need for a conversion

table.

In December 2016, the LRO staff updated the entire Oneida Code of Laws at one time, making the

conversion table unnecessary.

On January 18, 2017, the LOC approved the final draft of Oneida Code of Laws Reorganization Table.

Minor updates were made to the Code of Laws to reflect this final draft, primarily adding an 11 Education"

title. On February 10, 2017, the LRO made some minor corrections to the table.

IMPlEMENTATION

On February 1, 2017, the LRO began updating the Oneida Register web site and that work was

completed on February 3, 2017. A memo was sent out to the organization on February 6, updating

tribal departments.

Currently, The Register includes both previous chapter numbers and the new chapter and title numbers,

for user's reference .

Dear Chairwoman Danforth:

On behalf of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), I

want to thank you and the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin for partnering with the

NMAI to co-host our National Native American Veterans Memorial Consultation in

Oneida, Wisconsin. I am very grateful that the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin

offered to co-host this meeting and discussion, and we are honored to have the Oneida

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin as a partner for this important project.

The event has been confirmed for Friday, March 10, 2017, from 10:30 a.m.- 12:00 p.m.,

and I understand that a meeting room at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center in

Green Bay, WI has been reserved by the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin for this

consultation meeting. The NMAI greatly appreciates your hospitality, which is

considered an in-kind donation to the museum. We would not be able to conduct this

consultation without your help.

The Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin may choose to provide a description of

applicable expenses paid directly by the Tribe or an over-all valuation of support of this

event to have these payments recorded as a formal gift-in-kind to the museum; the

Smithsonian and NMAI take no position regarding the donor's valuation of goods and

services provided.

The NMAI will create an electronic invitation for this consultation event for the purpose

of distribution to each co-host's constituents; the museum will share this electronic

invitation with the Oneida Tribe oflndians of Wisconsin for distribution.

If the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin wishes to engage in additional publicity or

produce additional marketing materials related to the consultation, all such newly created

materials must be approved in advance by the NMAI before distribution or use, and all

such requests will be decided consistent with Smithsonian policy. The nan1e of the

Narrative/Background:

Tribal Caucus:

 --Discussed end of session for Special Committee on State Tribal Relations.

Outstanding issues: 1) Tribal ID bill and 2) Act 31. Oneida sent a letter to

Representative Mursau requesting subcommittee work on Act 31 and paper

ballot for Tribal ID bill. Letter was forwarded to the other tribes to use as a

template (attached).

 --Brian Jackson, WIEA President, discussed Act 31; the act is lacking on

outcomes. The intent is there, it’s incomplete. Need to add what is there, not

to dismantle it. Set standards/measurement based on curriculum provided to

the student; this echos the feedback from educators.

 --Reviewed Matrix and updated as needed.

Inter-tribal Criminal Justice Council:

Attendees from the State included:

o Reisha Mitchell, Disproportionate Minority Contact Coordinator, Department

of Justice

o Tommy Gubbin, Special Projects Coordinator, Office of the Director of State

Courts

o Adam Plotkin, Legislative Liaison, State Public Defender’s Office

o Kelli Thompson, Public Defender, State Public Defender’s Office

Business Committee Travel Report

o Kristi Dietz, Director, Office of Detention Facilities, Department of

Corrections

o Patrick Hughes, Assistant Deputy Secretary, Department of Corrections

Discussed State Public Defender’s Office setting up field offices in coordination

with the tribes so the SPD would be able to have regular office hours meet with

tribal members. It could be modeled after the coordination the tribes worked out

with the Department of Corrections for Probation Officer meetings. Space is the

issue; need a confidential space. SPD believed it would help both the staff and

clients, that it is a worthwhile endeavor and it should be explored. SPD also

offered various trainings and educational pieces; the goal is prevention.

Menominee will be working to set up the first office with SPD; other offices will be

set up once the initial one is tested out.

Re-entry Program discussion moved to State Consultation with Department of

Corrections. There is 50K in the state budget and need a program to use it.

Reviewed Matrix and updated as needed.

Since this meeting, the attached memorandum was received regarding the results of

the Joint Legislative Council meeting on February 15, 2017. This year following bill

drafts were recommended by the Special Committee and approved for introduction by

the Joint Legislative Council: 1) LRB-0410/1, relating to battery of a tribal judge,

tribal prosecutor, or tribal law enforcement officer and providing criminal penalties;

2) LRB-1832/2, relating to the collection and sharing of information regarding an

Indian child relinquished under the Safe Haven Law and restoration of physical

custody of an Indian child less than 11 days of age to a parent; and 3) LRB-1920/1,

relating to grants for treatment and diversion programs.

Representative Jeffrey Mursau

State Capitol, Room 113-West

P.O. Box 8953

Madison, WI 53708

Dear Representative Mursau,

First, I want to thank you for your endeavoring leadership and advocacy as Chair of the

Special Committee on State-Tribal Relations. We appreciate your continual pursuit of

exploring options and solutions toward developing agreement on issues of importance

between the State of Wisconsin and the American Indian tribes and bands in the state.

It is my understanding that the Study Committee may not be meeting again this session.

As a committee member, I don’t necessarily disagree with your decision, as the Study

Committee has completed much of its work.

However, if the Study Committee is not going to meet, I do feel there are two outstanding

issues of importance: 1) Tribal Identification and 2) “Act 31,” provisions requiring the

study of Wisconsin American Indian history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the

federally-recognized tribes and bands in the state.

Tribal Identification. I believe it is important that since this proposal was rewritten and

drafted by the Study Committee that it remain a product of the Study Committee and the

Joint Legislative Council. And, as most of the work by the Study Committee on the tribal

identification proposal is completed, I would like to recommend the committee approve

the proposal via “Mail Ballot,” as other Legislative Council Study Committees have

done.

Act 31. I believe the state and tribes would benefit if more work were accomplished on

the “Act 31.” To that end, I would like to recommend and ask if you as chair, would

consider appointing a subcommittee or workgroup to focus on this issue between now

and the summer of 2018 so that a well thought-out proposal can come forward for

discussion and action in by the next Study Committee.

Thank you for your consideration on these issues. If you would like to discuss further, I

am happy to talk in person or by phone at (920) 869-4434.

Sincerely,

Lisa Summers, Secretary
