Melinda J. Danforth

For the record:

Chairwoman Tina Danforth stated I was not in favor of this because it

was given to us short order. We had a four hour time frame to address

the E-Poll. I was out on approved travel and there was a meeting being

held here in regards to this and back-up came shortly thereafter so I

would just onto record to that extent.

For the record:

Secretary Lisa Summers stated I just wanted to state that I don’t feel like

we got a pressure sale at least from my perspective. I’m just sharing it.

This is something that even though it took me a little bit to catch up on

what everything was when I first came into office. I had to a lot of

Oneida Business Committee Regular Meeting Minutes - DRAFT of January 11, 2017

Page 25 of 636

DRAFT

For the record:

homework regarding this issue, but I was able to go back in my research

and see where the previous Business Committee had taken action by

setting up the stage for this transition to begin occurring and I think it was

mentioned here at the tail end that actually the signing of the agreement

was the last step of all of the things that have been taking place in order

to get the transition completed. Yes there was an E-Poll conducted

because the meeting that was supposed to be discussed at didn’t occur.

So it wasn’t like we got the information at the last minute. We’ve actually

had this information for quite some time and again when I went back and

did my research and then again attending the shareholder’s meeting this

last month or the month before, it’s been in there. It’s been a topic that’s

been ongoing. So I don’t feel that way. I understand that you were gone

so I can see why you would feel that way, but I just wanted to note that

for the record for my comments. Thank you.

Councilman David Jordan stated we also need to change something

because we needed a Chair and both Chairs were out. That’s the reason

those E-Polls happened.

1. Approved exception to the Community Support Fund hotel rate limits to increase the

limit to $100 for the Oneida Support Group at Standing Rock (7:38:17)

Requestor: Jo Anne House, Chief Counsel

Motion by Tehassi Hill to enter the E-Poll results into the record for the approved exception to the

Community Support Fund hotel rate limits to increase the limit to $100 for the Oneida Support Group at

Standing Rock, seconded by Fawn Billie. Motion carried unanimously:

Ayes:

Fawn Billie, Tehassi Hill, David Jordan, Trish King, Brandon Stevens,

Lisa Summers, Jennifer Webster

Not Present:

Melinda J. Danforth

For the record:

Councilwoman Jennifer Webster stated we had twenty people out in

Standing Rock who went out there on their own free will. This was not an

easy decision for us. Nobody made them to go out there. Nobody forced

them to go there. It was forty below. The chairman out there told people

to go home for their own safety. We had twenty people sharing four

rooms. It cost us $160. Like we said we’d be telling a different story here

if something happened to them. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t listen, but

we had to do the best thing for our Nation to help these people. We

argued about it, we offered to pay out of pocket for it, but the hotels

require credit cards. It was a tough decision for us, but we made the best

decision we could for the health and safety of our community members.

Thank you.

Councilman David Jordan departs at 10:05 a.m. on January 13, 2017

made it very clear at least three times the distinguishment and why we

were having the conversation and that the per diem was not the

question. It was making sure that we had a complete understanding or

we were in agreement in the interpretation of the motion which said no

outside food purchases. So that was the conversation. Because of the

comments I need to make sure that we are clear that day the

conversation occurred we also made it clear that day that that was why

we were having the conversation. It had nothing to do with your travel

request per se, why you were traveling. We supported that whole

heartedly. Thank you.

Statement of Effect

Tobacco Law Amendments

Summary

This Resolution adopts amendments to the Tobacco Law (the “Law”) that remove the

requirement that Oneida Retail employees be enrolled members in the Oneida Nation.

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

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

Amendments to the Tobacco Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) retitle the Ordinance as a law in

alignment with the Legislative Operating Committee’s (LOC’s) directive that all policies are to

be classified as laws moving forward.

Currently, the Ordinance requires that all employees of an Oneida retail location be enrolled

members of the Oneida Nation. The amendments remove the requirement for enrollment in the

Oneida Nation from the Law allowing Oneida Retail locations to employ persons not enrolled in

the Oneida Nation

Although the Law removed all references to enrollment requirements, the Nation’s Oneida

Preference and Indian Preference Policy still governs and provides Oneida applicants preference

in hiring for Oneida retail positions. The January 8, 1990 General Tribal Council directive that

general managers and all top administrative positions shall be held by enrolled members of the

Nation will still apply to Oneida retail location positions. Additionally, the Nation’s Human

Resource Department has an Oneida Enrolled Tribal Member Requirements on Job Descriptions

work standard, which defines criteria used to determine positions within the structure of the

Oneida Nation which shall be held by an enrolled member of the Nation, would still apply to

Oneida retail positions.

Additional amendments:

• replace the term “tobacco outlet” with “Oneida retail location;” and

• remove the term “manager” from the definitions; and

• replace the term “tribal employee” with “employee;” and

• update Section 115.4-2 to remove the requirement that Oneida retail locations be

managed and operated by a tribal employee and instead state that Oneida retail locations

be managed and operated by the Oneida Nation; and

• replace references to the “Personnel Policies and Procedures” with the “Nation’s laws,

rules and policies governing employment” so that the Law allows for the possibility of

future legislation regarding employment; and

• replace various references to the “Tribe” with “Nation” to reflect the 2015 Constitutional

Amendments; and

Page 1 of 2

Open Packet

•

Page 57 of 636

update Section 115.2. to ensure compliance with the language required by the Legislative

Procedures Act; and

update the language and format to ensure compliance with drafting style and formatting

requirements.

A public meeting on the proposed amendments was held on December 15, 2016, in accordance

with the Legislative Procedures Act. On January 4, 2017, the LOC reviewed all comments

received during the public comment period; and any changes made based on those comments

have been incorporated into this draft.

Conclusion

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

Amend the law to allow Oneida Retail to hire non-Oneida employees due to inability to

Regulates the sale, possession and distribution of cigarettes within the Reservation.

Oneida Retail Enterprise, Oneida Human Resources Department, Judiciary

Rules of Civil Procedure

All cigarettes acquired, owned, possessed, sold, or distributed in violation of this law

are unlawful property and subject to seizure by any Oneida law enforcement officer

[see 115.8-1]. Violators subject to the jurisdiction of the Nation shall be subject to a

fine of not more than ten dollars ($10) per pack of un-stamped cigarettes to be issued

by the Oneida Police Department and paid to the Nation [see 115.8-1(a)]. Oneida

Nation employees who violate this law shall be subject to disciplinary action in

accordance with the Nation’s laws, rules, and policies governing employment [see

115.8-1(b)]. Persons issued citations under this law may contest the citation with the

Nation’s judicial system [115.8-2].

A public meeting was held December 15, 2016.

Overview

Amendments to the Tobacco Ordinance were requested by a Tribal member and the

Oneida Retail Enterprise to remove restrictions that require Oneida Retail employees be enrolled

Members of the Nation. The Oneida Retail Enterprise is having difficulty hiring and retaining

Retail Associates and the restrictions in the current Ordinance requiring employees of Oneida

Retail be enrolled Members is limiting their ability to fully staff the Oneida retail locations. The

Retail Enterprise has averaged approximately 5-8 vacancies within the past 18 months.



Proposed Amendments

“Manager” was removed from the definitions list.

o Oneida and Indian Preference in hiring will govern and provide Oneida applicants

preference in Retail positions.

o The January 8, 1990 GTC directive that the General Manager’s and all top

administrative positions be held by enrolled tribal members will apply to these

Page 1 of 2

Open Packet

Page 59 of 636

Draft # 2 for OBC Consideration

2017 01 25



positions through the HRD hiring process.

“Tribal Employee” was removed from the definitions list and replaced with “Employee”

which is defined as a person employed by the Oneida Nation working in an Oneida retail

location. This change removed restrictions that employees of Oneida Retail be enrolled

members of the Nation.

o Indian Preference in hiring will govern and provide Oneida applicants with

preference in Retail positions.

Section 115.4-2 was updated to remove the requirement that Oneida Retail locations be

managed and operated by a Tribal Employee and instead states that Oneida retail

locations be managed and operated by the Oneida Nation. Indian preference and the

GTC motion regarding hiring Tribal members will still apply to hiring Oneida Retail

managers.

Reference to Personnel Policies and Procedures was removed and replaced with the

Nation’s laws, rules and policies governing employment. This language is more general

and allows for the possibility of future legislation regarding employment [see 115.81(b)].

The Violations section [see 115.8-2] was amended to clarify that citations under this law

are contested (not appealed) to the Nation’s judicial system.

Other

Minor changes:

o Retitle the Tobacco Ordinance as a law in alignment with the Legislative Operating

Committee’s directive that all policies be classified as laws.

o Replace the term “tobacco outlet” with “Oneida retail location.”

o Update the language and ensure compliance with drafting style and formatting

requirements.

o To reflect the 2015 Constitutional Amendments, various references to the “Tribe”

have been replaced with references to the “Nation.”

o Section 115-2 has been revised to ensure compliance with the language required by

the Legislative Procedures Act.

o Reformat the law to align with the approved reorganization of the laws.

Considerations

The job descriptions for the Oneida Retail Enterprise positions will need to be updated to

reflect changes in this law.

RE:

Fiscal Impact Tobacco Amendments

Background

This Law was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee by resolution BC-11-18-81-A

and amended by resolution BC-10-10-07-A and, BC-04-09-14-F. A public meeting was

held on December 15, 2016. The Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) has requested

a fiscal analysis on the amendments to the Law that would remove restrictions that

Oneida Retail employees be enrolled Oneida Tribal Members.

II.

Executive Summary of Findings

A “Fiscal impact statement” means an estimate of the total fiscal year financial effects

associated with legislation and includes startup costs, personnel, office, documentation

costs, as well as an estimate of the amount of time necessary for an agency to comply

with the law after implementation. Finance does NOT identify the source of funding for

the estimated cost or allocate any funds to the legislation. The analysis was completed on

Draft 2 for OBC Consideration 2017 01 11.

Employment in the Oneida Retail Enterprise (ORE) has consisted solely of Tribal

members for the last 36 years. To ease the transition to a new multicultural environment,

ORE will be offering diversity training over a period of six months to minimize potential

disruptions to operations.

Landlord-Tenant Law Emergency Amendments

Please find the following attached backup documentation for your consideration of the LandlordTenant Law Emergency Amendments:

Resolution: Landlord-Tenant Law Emergency Amendments

Statement of Effect: Landlord-Tenant Law Emergency Amendments

Landlord-Tenant Law Emergency Amendments Legislative Analysis

Landlord Tenant Law (Redline)

Landlord Tenant Law (Clean)

Overview

Emergency amendments to the Landlord-Tenant law (the "Law") are requested in order to allow

the Oneida Housing Authority's Rent-to-Own program to continue to exist within the confines of

the Law. The Landlord-Tenant law has an effective date of February 9, 2017 and non-emergency

amendments cannot be processed in time to meet this timeline.

The Oneida Business Committee can temporarily enact legislation when necessary for the

immediate preservation of the public health, safety or general welfare of the Reservation

population and when the amendment of legislation is required sooner than would be possible

under the Legislative Procedures Act. A fiscal impact statement and public meeting are not

required for emergency legislation.

The emergency amendments to the Landlord-Tenant law are necessary for the preservation ofthe

public health, safety, or general welfare of the reservation population because the amendments

prevent the prohibition of the Oneida Housing Authority fi:om entering into rent-to-own program

agreements when the Law becomes effective on February 9, 2017. Additionally, observance of

the adoption requirements under the Legislative Procedures Act for adoption of this amendment

would be contrary to public interest.

The emergency amendments to the Law will become effective immediately upon effect of the

Law on February 9, 2017, and will remain effective for six (6) months, with the possibility to

extend for an additional six (6) months, or until the emergency amendments expire or are

permanently adopted.

agreement; and

WHEREAS,

the rental agreements in the Law were limited to one (1) year terms to fortify the policy

requiring annual renewals of rental agreements and to avoid month-to-month tenancies;

WHEREAS,

the emergency amendment to the Law maintains the Law’s policies while including the

Oneida Housing Authority’s rent-to-own program by revising the definition of “rental

agreement” to state, “a written contract between a landlord and a tenant, whereby the

tenant is granted the right to use or occupy the premises for a residential purpose for one

(1) year or less, provided that the term may be longer than one (1) year in circumstances

where the contract is on a rent to own basis;” and
