Transportation Services

MEMO

To: Tina Jorgensen, GSD Director

From: Carol Stiff, Transit Manager

Date:7/18/2023

Re: BC Agenda Request

Oneida Public Transit is requesting to be put on the BC Agenda the use Carry Over funds for the

Oneida Public Transit Garage project #04-022 CIP. The Public Transit Facility project will

require additional funding in order to proceed with the construction phase of this project.

In short, there were 3- main factors that contributed to this funding shortage and are summarized

below:

1. Due to fluctuating market conditions, the Design Professional under-estimated the

construction cost by over $900k, which caused the Nation to request an inaccurate

amount during the RAISE grant application.

2. The Nation was not awarded the total project cost as requested/ submitted from the

RAISE grant.

3. Price increases due to economic instability, rising inflation and labor and supply chain

issues.

To further expand on these financial impacts, below is a general description of sequential project

activities that further detail those implications.

1. The Design Professional provided an estimated construction cost of $2,952,050.00 during

the design phase and fluctuating market conditions.

a. This value was then incorporated into the Oneida Engineering Department’s

Project Budget Estimate, which includes additional cost such as: soft cost,

inflation factors, FF&E and a project contingency to determine a “total project

cost”.

2. Transit submitted for the RAISE grant, using the Engineering Department’s Project

Budget Estimate as the total project cost.

3. The RAISE grant was awarded to the Oneida Nation, however the amount awarded was

not the amount requested in the grant application. The RAISE grant awarded the Nation

P.O. Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155

Public Packet

32 of 525

only the construction cost ($2,953,000.00) line item of the Project Budget Estimate and

not the TOTAL project cost which was $4.7 million dollars.

4. Knowing there was a shortage in funding, Transit allocated their apportionment funds to

make up the difference so the project process could continue.

5. The project was released for bid and a total of 7- bids were received. The apparent low/

responsible bidder submitted a Bid value of $3,867,800.00. During the internal Post Bid

evaluation process, it was determined that the Design Professional under-estimated the

construction cost by $915,750.00 ($3,867,800 - $2,952,050 = $915,750.00).

a. Note: Transit used the estimated construction cost for the original grant submittal.

In summary, these financial shortfalls prevented the Oneida Nation to execute an agreement with

a General Contractor to commence the project. Additional funding is necessary in order for this

project to begin.

Attached is an updated Project Budget Estimate (PBE) which specifies the amount of additional

funds required to complete the project along with an example of a past project that had requested

to use Carry Over Funds. Tina may find this information helpful if she has never gone through

this process.

Furthermore, please note the following items:

1.

2.

3.

4.

PBE includes an inflation factor of 5% p/ year (estimated at 2 yrs).

PBE includes a 7% Owner Contingency.

A majority of the values used within the updated PBE are directly from Contractors

or vendors of the Nation, which provides a level of comfort knowing pricing is

accurate and reflects the current economy.

On the bottom of the PBE, it notes a value of $4,314,496 as the “Awarded Funding

Amount”. This was calculated based off the following funding sources and allocated

amounts:

The estimated total amount required to continue with the project is $1,301,000, which equates to

a 30% increase.

MEMO

TO: Tina Jorgensen, GSDD

FROM: Tsyosha>aht C. Delgado, Bear Clan Manager

Position: Traditional Healer Apprentice

Department: Cultural Heritage

Reason for Increase:

The Traditional Healer Supervisor who is responsible for the teaching and instructing as well as

conducting Traditional Readings, Medicine Ceremonies, and Annual Ceremonies that go on throughout

the year at the Longhouse has kept track of all the data for his work. He currently has one Traditional

Healer Apprentice that works with him side by side. Traditionally our people who needed to have a

Medicine Ceremony put through would have the Clan on the opposite side of the Longhouse provide the

ceremonial songs, foods, dances and healing for them. This means that the Turtles and Bears would take

care of the medicines for the Wolves, The Wolves would take care of the Turtles and Bears, The Bears

would take care of the Turtles and the Turtles would take care of the Bears. We currently only have one

Traditional Healer apprentice assist in the responsibility for all of the medicine assistance that need to

be taken care of. We need to have a Wolf who would take care of the Turtle and Bear Clans. The data

shows that there have been 2626 direct contacts to provide services of Readings and Medicine

Ceremonies over the past year. The amount of work for two people to take care of this is tremendous.

Additionally, there have been about 2400 individuals that participated in annual ceremonies that take

place throughout the year. There is a need for an additional Traditional Healer Apprentice to assist with

Readings, Medicine Ceremonies and the Longhouse Ceremonies as well. They provide the services to

Oneida Nation members and assist with other community members that are affiliated with Oneida

members through family or other relatives. Often some of these services have to do with people who

are in recovery for Alcohol or Drug Abuse. They provide the foundational education for the individual

and a means to clear their path so that healing can become a reality for those that may be struggling

from things that are creating sickness and sometimes effect their emotional well-being. They have

worked with Behavioral Health, Family Services, Domestic Violence, Prevention and the General

membership. The targeted age group is birth to elders.

Another need for an additional Traditional Healer Apprentice is for the development and services

needed to provide for the Healing to Wellness Court. The Bear Clan Manager has currently been on the

Committee to assist in the development and the Cultural Component that will be part of the Healing to

Wellness Court. She provides Cultural Education to the Committee and will be provide Cultural

Education to the participants in the Healing to Wellness Court to address some of their needs in

developing a Cultural foundation for themselves to combat their alcohol or drug addiction. It is hoped

that the participants will begin in August 2023. The target to begin is 20 participants both adult men and

women. This population may meet with staff from the Cultural Heritage Department to provide Cultural

Education around ceremonies, stories such as Creation Story, Great Law of Peace, The Handsome Lake

Code (Kaliwiiyo-The Good Message) along with Medicine Societies of Herbal medicines as needed. They

may learn the language, the creative crafts of beading, sewing, traditional clothing along with how to

create traditional instruments such as rattles, games, medicine foods, and instruments used for

Public Packet

medicines. It is anticipated that the Traditional Healer Apprentice will assist with the Cultural

component of the Healing to Wellness Court. The Bear Clan Manager will be on the review committee as

well as provide services to the participants possibly on a weekly basis as their needs are identified along

with the Traditional Healer Apprentice as needed for their assistance as each participant develops their

goals. Each participant will complete a cultural assessment and based on their needs and wants will

develop goals to achieve while they are in the program until they are discharged. It is our hope that they

will continue with their learning about Culture and Language as a lifelong achievement and become

participants and helpers for our community. The Healing to Wellness Court participants are expected to

report weekly to the Committee and follow through with recommendations as they set their own goals.

The duration of time they are expected to be in the program is between 15 to 20 months or longer. This

is the first program the Nation has developed solely with individuals who are not incarcerated. The

Cultural component and the support of another Traditional Healer Apprentice will be influential in the

success of this service. It is hoped that the expansion of participants will increase over time and we

would be able to provide support and empowerment to our Oneida members that are suffering from

addictions. This expansion may or may not include family members to encourage their success as well.

Finally, in FY2024, each area was instructed to budget their vacant positions separately.

I’d presume the addition of these 6.5 position would come out of that pool. This would

not result in addition expenses withing the FY24 budget, but it would reduce the

available pool before the process or criteria would be established. For the purpose of

this impact statement, I will include the FY24 into the 10-year consideration, as no

matter which part of the budget it comes from, it will remain an expense for the Nation.

Memo

To:

Oneida Business Committee

From: Eliza S. Skenandore, Library Manager

Date: July 11, 2023

Subj: Justification for Hiring an Additional Library Services Associate for Library

Dear Oneida Business Committee,

I am writing to formally request approval and support for hiring an additional Library Services

Associate for the Oneida Community Library and Green Earth Branch Library. As an advocate

for the library and its vital role within our community, I believe this position is necessary to

better serve the needs and aspirations of our patrons.

Since the pandemic, our library has lost front end staff that have had over a decade of

experience and training. The Oneida community have complained about losing some of the

pervious staff and missing the level of service that they provided. Although our numbers are

nowhere near what our numbers were before the pandemic (Figure 1). The current staff,

including myself, have been working tirelessly to meet these growing demands. However, we

find ourselves struggling to provide the level of service that our patrons deserve. By adding

another Library Services Associate to our team, we can ensure that our libraries continue to

flourish as a valuable resource center for our community.

Having an additional Library Service Associate we will be bringing in an experienced team

member, we can enhance the overall quality of our services, address complex inquiries more

efficiently, and provide valuable guidance to library visitors. The presence of an experienced

staff member would greatly benefit our patrons, particularly in areas such as research

assistance, technology support, and resource management. Their extensive knowledge and

experience would contribute to a higher level of customer satisfaction and promote a positive

reputation for our library.

Our staff has the responsibility of managing and serving not only the patrons of the Oneida

Community Library but also those of the Green Earth Branch Library, catering to the diverse

needs of both Outagamie and Brown counties. This dual service obligation places an

additional strain on our existing staff, as they strive to meet the demands of a larger and more

Public Packet

63 of 525

varied patron base. By hiring an additional Library Services Associate, we can better allocate

resources and ensure that both libraries receive the attention they deserve, allowing for

enhanced services and a more personalized experience for all patrons across both counties.

It is important to note that the Green Earth Branch Library is situated in a high-risk area, where

residents face numerous socioeconomic challenges and limited access to resources. This

presents unique challenges for our staff, as they strive to provide essential library services and

support to individuals and families who may be more vulnerable and in need of assistance. By

hiring an additional Library Services Associate, we can ensure that the Green Earth Branch

Library receives the necessary attention and resources to address the specific needs of the

community it serves, fostering a supportive environment for all patrons.

Here are some key points to support the justification for hiring an additional Library Services

Associate:

Increased Patron Engagement: Hiring another staff member will enable us to provide better

customer service by offering individualized attention and engaging with patrons more

effectively. It has become challenging for our current staff to provide personalized assistance.

An additional Library Services Associate will allow us to offer prompt and thorough responses

to patrons' inquiries, recommend tailored materials, and provide specialized support, ultimately

enhancing their overall library experience.

Expanded Program Offerings: Our library has become a hub for various programs and

activities catering to all age groups. These programs range from early literacy initiatives to

adult educational and cultural workshops. An additional staff member will help us develop and

execute more diverse and engaging programs, thus enriching the overall library experience.

By investing in an additional staff member dedicated to youth programming, we are committed

to enriching the overall library experience and ensuring that our young patrons have access to

an exciting array of opportunities.

We will also be able to expand our offerings of Oneida Language and Culture programming,

further enriching the services we provide to our community. The preservation and promotion of

our tribal language and culture are of paramount importance. With an increased staff capacity,

we can develop and implement a broader range of programs that focus on teaching and

celebrating the Oneida language, traditional practices, storytelling, arts, and crafts. This will

foster a deeper connection to our heritage, strengthen our cultural identity, and provide

valuable educational opportunities for all age groups within our community.

Though surveys, library visitors have requested additional programs including activities like

basket weaving, quillwork, Microsoft workshops, raised beadwork, cultural events, storytelling

sessions, skirt making classes, regalia workshops, moccasin making, ribbon dress workshops,

language lessons, painting workshops, sewing classes, corn husk doll making, corn rug

weaving, and tan hide workshops. They also expressed interest in jewelry making, beadwork

Public Packet

64 of 525

tutorials, Lessons on Oneida songs, and woodworking sessions.

Enhanced Reference Services: As the demand for research assistance and reference

materials continues to rise, it has become increasingly difficult for our current staff to provide

prompt and comprehensive support. By bringing in another Library Services Associate, we can

ensure that patrons receive timely and thorough assistance in locating information and utilizing

library resources effectively.

We plan to introduce specialized programs that will promote early literacy skills, instilling a love

for reading, storytelling, and interactive learning activities in children during their formative

years. Through engaging Storytime sessions, interactive workshops, and a curated selection of

age-appropriate reading materials, we aim to create a nurturing environment that fosters a

lifelong passion for learning among our youngest community members.

Improved Collection Management: The responsibility of maintaining an up-to-date collection of

materials has become challenging for our current staff. The addition of another Library

Services Associate will alleviate this burden and allow for more efficient collection

management, including cataloging, shelving, and weeding, resulting in an organized and

relevant collection for our patrons.

Support for Outreach and Community Engagement: Our library strives to actively engage with

the Oneida Nation community through outreach programs, workshops, and collaborative

partnerships. Hiring an additional staff member will enable us to expand our outreach efforts,

establish stronger connections with community organizations, and develop innovative

initiatives that promote literacy and lifelong learning.

Considering these reasons, I firmly believe that the addition of an extra Library Services

Associate is crucial to ensure the continued growth and success of our library. I am confident

that the cost of hiring an additional staff member will be outweighed by the positive impact it

will have on our library's services and our community's overall well-being. Thank you for

considering this request.

Yours sincerely,

Eliza Skenandore

Finally, in FY2024, each area was instructed to budget their vacant positions separately.

I’d presume the addition of these 6.5 position would come out of that pool. This would

not result in addition expenses withing the FY24 budget, but it would reduce the

available pool before the process or criteria would be established. For the purpose of

this impact statement, I will include the FY24 into the 10-year consideration, as no

matter which part of the budget it comes from, it will remain an expense for the Nation.

Re:

Workforce Level Increase Request

Requesting support and approval for additional positions here in Aging & Disability Services

department. Altogether, I’m requesting 3 positions to be added to our workforce level. The 1st position

is the Elder Benefits Specialist which is a requirement through one of our funding agencies GWAAR.

Throughout Covid we were able to navigate without it, but now we would be requesting it back for

grant regulatory purposes & to assist our elders.

The other 2 positions are 1 FT Home Chore Worker & 1 PT Home Chore Worker. These positions are

critical in our programming so that we can provide more service requests to our elders. Pre-Covid we

had 8 FT Chore Workers and our monthly reports showed we could assist between 130-150 elders. But

we have been reduced to 2.5 and we serve right under 100 currently. We would be able to add to our

lists immediately and then re-assess the workload to possibly add more elders.

The kind of services elders receive through our Home Chore program are lawn care, snow removal,

minor home repairs, furniture moving/removal, cleaning gutters & most any service requests that

come in. Our Chore Workers will do their best to accommodate the elders any way they can.

Since the downsize of this area we have received complaints regarding workmanship for our elders.

This is mainly due to the size of our elder lists that we carry and not being able to provide the best

service they deserve. For instance, when our Chore Workers cut grass or plow snow, they never have

the time to trim or shovel for the elder. This is where our complaints begin to come in.

I’m hopeful you will consider this request because we must consider the Baby Boomer population that

is now of eligible service age & the size of that generation.

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your continued support of our

program.

Finally, in FY2024, each area was instructed to budget their vacant positions separately.

I’d presume the addition of these 6.5 position would come out of that pool. This would

not result in addition expenses withing the FY24 budget, but it would reduce the

available pool before the process or criteria would be established. For the purpose of

this impact statement, I will include the FY24 into the 10-year consideration, as no

matter which part of the budget it comes from, it will remain an expense for the Nation.

Re:

Request to increase workforce in Recreation

Oneida Recreation is requesting an increase in workforce is to assist with the planning,

developing, organizing, coordinating and implementing of various youth sports leagues at

recreation facilities. This position will also plan and organize the North American Indigenous

Games every 3 years. The ability to provide youth with year- round activities will assist with

enhancing a healthy lifestyle and provide positive, drug and alcohol- free activities.

Oneida Recreation serves:

Oneida Enrolled: 343

Other Tribe: 37

Other: 67

In 2019, we had 136 youth participating in baseball programs. The majority of kids were 5 to 12

years old. In 2023, we have 67 with the majority of kids 5 to 9 years old. The opportunities for

girl’s leagues offers us great potential and lacrosse is also growing in numbers. To have a specific

individual to focus on sports leagues offers great opportunities for the recreation department.

The sooner we get youth involved in sports the better chance we have to educate them on living

a healthy lifestyle and saying “no” to drugs and alcohol.
