Statement of Effect
Adoption of the Oneida Youth Leadership Institute’s Charter
Summary
This resolution adopts a charter for the Oneida Youth Leadership Institute.
Submitted by Douglass A. McIntyre, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee, by adopting this resolution will adopt a charter for the Oneida
Youth Leadership Institute (OYLI). The charter and by-laws has been drafted and reviewed by
the Oneida Law Office, and this statement of effect does not review that document.
This resolution adopts a charter for the OYLI. The Nation has a long history of funding youth
leadership programs in the Oneida community and has provided other substantial financial
commitment to these programs. The OYLI was created for the purpose of:
1. Supporting these programs and activities; and
2. Soliciting charitable tax deductible donations to fund such programs and activities.
The OYLI was created pursuant to section 7871(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an agency of
the Nation. OYLI is eligible for section 7871(a) based on the following factors:
1. The OYLI is not separately incorporated under state law;
2. The Nation exerts a substantial degree of control over the OYLI, including appointment of its
Board members and approval of its by-laws;
3. The Nation is liable for the OYLI’s actions; and
4. The OYLI is an agency of the Nation.
Funding
a separate account from the Nation’s general fund has been created in the name of the OYLI for
receiving tax deductible contributions from donors under Internal Revenue Code Section 170 and
7871(a); and
the OYLI is designed to operate as a perpetual fund in which contributions are dedicated
exclusively to the generation and accumulation of income over a specified period of time, after
which the earnings from the accumulated fund are used to fund delivery of youth leadership
services to the Oneida community; and
Board of Directors
The OYLI is headed by a board of directors. This resolution indicates that this board is not a
board, committee or commission for purposes of the Comprehensive Policy Governing Boards,
Page 36 of 461
Committees and Commissions. An interim board, comprised of the work team members Susan
White, Joanie Buckley, Susan House, Joann Ninham, and Scott Elm, will serve until a board of
directors is appointed by the Oneida Business Committee.
These appointments will be selected from the candidates for appointment, pursuant to the terms
of the Charter, within sixty (60) calendar days from the date the charter is adopted.
Additionally, the resolution repeals resolution BC-05-15-14-G (Youth Leadership Fund).
No funds may be distributed from the OYLI’s account until the board members are appointed
and the board adopts disbursement policies.
Conclusion
There are no legal bars to adopting the resolution.

Preservation within one of our old cemeteries (Oneida Indian Methodist Mission Church)
Summary/history (2016)
1830 the first known group of Oneida's to enter this territory of Wisconsin was known as the
Orchard party. It was the first settlement known what is now Kimberly Wls and was called Smithfield.
It is the first Christianity party by early missionaries to plan for a church and school, when the
Oneidas moved northward onto farms the mission church was built and now is located in Oneida where
it presently resides. The rulings by the missionaries were very strict and did not allow drunkenness or
fighting or any mis- behavior. The strictness was so prevalent that everyone had to keep inventory of
how many dishes were used and even recorded how many were broken.
Colonel Bayed U.S. Agent Indian affairs asked for the# of children regarding school and church
affairs, it was recorded that 40 children on the Oneidas part are capable of going to school. In 1943 the
Church burned down by way of lighting storm hitting the steeple and it started on fire. It was soon
rebuilt in the same year.
Many of the Oneidas are buried along with a lot of children who is presumed to have died from
small pox epidemic, tuberculosis's, and phenomena. Throughout the Methodist cemeteries are old
burial stone markers dating back to 1832-present and in the back part of the Methodist church there are
burials of children and adults that are buried but without old markers or markers at all.
In 2013 the Methodist Church contacted me regarding the need and help of preservation of the
unmarked burials and monument to acknowledge them and a place where people could sit and visit and
give prayer. The process over the years has been a huge undertaking to clean and remove brush, create
a safe pathway trail, make wooden crosses, cut trees, repair of old fallen down grave markers,
landscaping, and identifying burials that are unmarked.
With the grant if provide the opportunity the Historic Preservation program can continue to help
provide some of the materials and services to assist in the preservation , the goal is to preserve and
identify our old un marked graves, remove brush/trees that are in danger of falling, place gravel on the
walking trail.

TRIBAL MULTI-HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN REVIEW SUMMARY
The plan cannot be approved if the plan has not been formally adopted. Each requirement includes separate elements. All elements of the requirement must be rated “Satisfactory” in order for the requirement to be fulfilled
and receive a score of “Satisfactory.” Elements of each requirement are listed on the following pages of the Plan Review Crosswalk. A “Needs Improvement” score on elements shaded in gray (recommended but not required)
will not preclude the plan from passing. Reviewer’s comments must be provided for requirements receiving a “Needs Improvement” score.
SCORING SYSTEM
Please check one of the following for each requirement.
N – Needs Improvement: The plan does not meet the minimum for the requirement. Reviewer’s comments must be provided.
S – Satisfactory: The plan meets the minimum for the requirement. Reviewer’s comments are encouraged, but not required.

PLANNING PROCESS: 201.7(b): An effective planning process is essential in developing and maintaining a good plan. The mitigation planning process should include
coordination with other tribal agencies, appropriate Federal agencies, adjacent jurisdictions, interested groups, and be integrated to the extent possible with other ongoing tribal
planning efforts as well as other FEMA mitigation programs and initiatives.
1. Documentation of the Planning Process
Requirement 201.7(c)(1): [The plan shall document] the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how
the public was defined and involved. This shall include:
(i) An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval, including a description of how the Indian Tribal
government defined “public;” and
(ii) As appropriate, an opportunity for neighboring communities, tribal and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the
authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia, and other private and nonprofit interests to be involved in the planning process.
