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

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

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
