SUBJECT: Public Safety Officer Pension Plan Board and applicability of the Boards,
Committees and Commissions law
FACTS
On December 21, 2005 The Oneida Business Committee (“Business Committee”)
approved, adopted, and ratified the Public Safety Officer Pension Plan (“Plan”). BC Resolution
12-21-05-B. The Plan document implemented a pension plan for the Nation’s police officers on
par “with th[at] offered to other police officers within the State of Wisconsin under the State
police pension system.” The Plan is a tax qualified plan under the provisions of Sec. 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code and further intended to constitute a governmental plan within the
meaning of Sec. 414(d) of the code and Sec. 3(32) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974.
The Business Committee adopted the Plan (and Plan document) and authorized the Public
Safety Plan Board (“Board”) to serve as Plan Administrator in accordance with the terms of the
Plan.
QUESITON PRESENTED
Whether the Nation’s Boards, Committees and Commissions law (“Law”) applies to the
Board.
BRIEF ANSWER
No. The Law applies to “boards, committees, and commissions of the Nation”. The
distinction may be a fine one: while the Board was authorized by the Nation, the Board is not a
Board “of the Nation”. The Board is governed by the Plan document. The Board’s structure,
responsibilities, powers, and duties are set forth in the Plan. The Board is neither elected by the
Nation’s voting membership, nor appointed by the Business Committee. The Board serves
without stipends and exercises its discretion with respect to Plan decisions. Additionally, the
Board’s Oath of Office is specific to its Plan responsibilities. While the Board must comply with
applicable laws (including tribal law), this Law does not apply because the Board is an entity of
the Plan. Simply, the Board was created by a contract (the Plan) and is governed by that
contract.

Summers
Not Present:
Tehassi Hill, Daniel Guzman King, Jennifer Webster
For the record: Secretary Lisa Summers stated I just have to state for the record why I opposed. It's
not becuase you guys didn't do a good job doing your dates and things like that; but when I read that
section for vacancies. it states that if there's more than 270 days remaining in the term of office, there
has to be a special election and that's very clear. It doesn't say when that special election has to
occur. So in my mind, it is appropriate for us to have the vacancy included on the General Election
ballot. It's not necessary.

2 At the August 28, 2019, regular Business Committee meeting, action was taken to approve up to three (3) Business

Committee members to attend this event.

Statement of Effect
Interpreting “Fiscal Impact Statement” in the Legislative Procedures Act
Summary
The resolution further interprets the Legislative Procedures Act to clarify and limit who the
Legislative Operating Committee may direct develop a fiscal impact statement for use during a
public meeting and for use during the consideration of adoption.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: September 16, 2019
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Legislative Procedures Act (LPA) was adopted by the General Tribal Council through
resolution GTC-01-07-13-A for the purpose of providing a process for the adoption of laws of the
Nation. [1 O.C. 109.1-1].
The LPA requires that all legislation, except emergency legislation, be accompanied by a fiscal
impact statement, which is an estimate of the total fiscal year financial effects associated with the
legislation. [1 O.C. 109.6-1, 109.3-1(c)]. The LPA delegates authority to the Legislative Operating
Committee to direct an agency to submit a fiscal impact statement. The Legislative Operating
Committee may direct that a fiscal impact statement be prepared by any agency who may receive
funding if the legislation is enacted, may administer a program if the legislation is enacted, or may
have financial information concerning the subject matter of the legislation; or the Finance
Department. [1 O.C. 109.6-1].
If the fiscal impact statement is available, then the LPA requires that it be posted on the Oneida
Register and electronically provided to all managers and directors of the Nation with the other
public meeting materials ten (10) business days before a public meeting is held. [1 O.C. 109.8-2].
All fiscal impact statements are required to be completed and submitted to the Legislative
Operating Committee prior to any legislation being forwarded to the Oneida Business Committee
for consideration of adoption. [1 O.C. 109.6-2]. The fiscal impact statement provides information
on what the potential adoption of the proposed legislation will cost the Nation, so that the Oneida
Business Committee and/or General Tribal Council can determine if adoption of the proposed
legislation is in the best interest of the Nation.
This resolution provides that the Legislative Operating Committee is seeking clarification on the
interpretation of the use of fiscal impact statements within the LPA. This resolution clarifies and
limits who the Legislative Operating Committee may direct complete a fiscal impact statement for
use during a public meeting and for use during the final adoption of legislation so that the process
can be standardized and handled in a consistent manner.

Committee and/or General Tribal Council under section 109.9-1, the Finance Department shall,
within ten (10) business days of final approval of draft legislation by the Legislative Operating
Committee, send a Fiscal Impact Statement to the Legislative Operating Committee for inclusion

Statement of Effect
Updated Statement of Effect Requirement for Resolutions
Summary
The resolution amends resolution BC-06-01-05-C to update what types of resolutions are exempt
from the requirement to be accompanied by a statement of effect developed by the Legislative
Reference Office for adoption by the Oneida Business Committee or the Oneida General Tribal
Council.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: September 16, 2019
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The requirement that a resolution proposed for adoption by the Oneida Business Committee or
General Tribal Council be accompanied by a statement of effect was first adopted through
resolution BC-08-16-95-A. Resolution BC-08-16-95-A provided that resolutions for grant
applications, Indian Health Service resolutions, or resolutions for the purchase of land or
placement of land into trust status would be exempt from the requirement of a statement of effect.
Then the Oneida Business Committee amended resolution BC-08-16-95-A through the adoption
of resolution BC-06-01-05-C to provide that the nominations of individuals to serve on a particular
entity and resolutions in support of a cause or individual would also be exempt from the statement
of effect requirement.
It is again necessary to update the list of exemptions to the statement of effect requirement to
reflect present circumstances.
This resolution amends resolution BC-06-01-05-C to provide additional types of resolutions that
should be exempt from the requirement to be accompanied by a statement of effect. This resolution
now provides that all resolutions proposed for adoption by the Oneida Business Committee or the
Oneida General Tribal Council shall be accompanied by a statement of effect developed by the
Legislative Reference Office, unless the resolution meets one of the following exemptions to the
requirement for a statement of effect:
 Resolutions for grant applications;
 Self-governance contract or compact resolutions;
 Resolutions for the purchase of land or placement of land into trust status;
 Nominations of individuals to serve on a particular entity;
 Resolutions in support of a cause or individual;
 Resolutions regarding the pardoning or forgiveness of any member of the Nation; and
 Resolutions which approve a contract or agreement accompanied by a legal review.

Oneida Business Committee Agenda Request

6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
Background:
The CFO and Assistant CFO provided a brief analysis of the positive variance reported in the monthly Treasurer's
reports. Our ability to close the gap within our budgeting process is one of the four (4) objectives listed within
our fiscal path to implement a Value-Based Budgeting System via a triennial strategic planning process.
And, in accordance with Chapter 121, Section 121.5-4, the CFO shall develop the necessary guidelines, including
specific deadlines, to be followed by the managers that have budget responsibility in preparing and submitting
proposed budgets.
Personnel costs comprise approximately 36% of the budget, and Finance completed a four (4) year trend analysis
on some major lines showing a $2 million positive variance.
At the August 20, 2019, OBC Work Session, the OBC decided to support drafting a resolution so that the budget
guidelines occur annually providing budgeting guidance; versus a memorandum.
Requested Motion:
Motion to adopt resolution titled, "Triennial Goals - Trending - Budget Guidance Resolution."

Triennial Goals – Trending – Budget Guidance Resolution

Public Resources, as guidance to all employees and those with supervisory
responsibilities; and
WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee and Treasurer believe that with authority to build and
present budgets, to hire individuals, and to operate programs, services and enterprises,
comes the corresponding ability to be responsible not only to the programming needs, but
to the Oneida Nation as a whole in utilizing all resources of the Nation and resolution # BC09-__-19-__ is intended to outline those responsibilities; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee and Treasurer have received financial guidance and
advice through the Chief Financial Officer regarding world economic impacts, the Assistant
Chief Financial Officer regarding budget trending, the Gaming General Manager and Retail
Manager regarding enterprise revenue trending, the Direct Reports regarding
programming, grants, and current client needs, as well as the Inter-Governmental
Communications and Affairs office regarding trending in federal and state legislation
impacts and funding impacts, and the Self-Governance Coordinator regarding the Nation’s
self-governance contracts and trending; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee believes that business-as-usual no longer remains an
option in light of the changing and increasing challenging financial conditions, business
needs, and programming needs regarding the community; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution # BC-09-27-17-I, Strategic Workforce
Planning – Budget – Implementation as amended by resolution # BC-03-14-18-D, to:
1. identify standard terms regarding the employment base (full-time equivalent or FTE)
as a method of standardizing and defining the employment levels of the Nation across
the organization;
2. require short term (employment caps), mid-term (workforce level assessments) and
long-term (strategic workforce planning) activities and reporting by each business unit
of the Nation; and
3. direct all levels of the organization to know the budget strategies and goals, and work
cooperatively to evaluate current needs and resources to most effectively utilize the
Nation’s limited resources; and

WHEREAS,

when the Oneida Business Committee adopted the September 2017 resolution regarding
strategic workforce planning it acknowledged that it was not possible to look at any action
from a purely financial perspective (labor as a percentage of the total budget is 42%,
exceeds gaming and retail net profit at 142%, grants at 314%, and mandates at 400% 1),
or a Human Resources Perspective (wage studies, programming needs studies, hiring
limits), or priority (such as health care, housing, employment) as all are interrelated and
must be addressed in that fashion; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee understands that the United States and the Oneida Nation
have moved from the 2008 financial crash and through fiscal recovery, such that the current
indicators identify the potential of an economic downturn through a slowing economy, lower
consumer confidence levels and financial indicators such as inverted yield curves on
bonds; and

WHEREAS,

from FY2016 through FY2018 the budget initiative was: “The end in mind is ‘Sustainability.’
Assessment guidelines will be the path for the Tribal organization to develop a Fiscal Year

1

When labor costs exceed gaming and retail net profit, grants, and mandates by significant margins such as these,
there is a concern that if a dip occurs in one of the revenue sources or an increase in mandates occurs, there will
be an impact on labor and a required response to reduce labor costs in order to meet balanced budget demands.

resources of the Oneida Nation are being utilized in a manner that creates the most
effective and efficient use of those revenues or expenditures”; and

WHEREAS,

prior to FY2016 and more intensely since Fy2016, knowledge of the Nation, the economy,
federal actions, grant changes, and our own changing community needs have demanded
a more integrated response and requires the Oneida Business Committee to clarify budget,
business, and programming decisions; and

WHEREAS,
