Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: December 30, 2024 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The Oneida Nation received federal funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds to address matters arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oneida Business Committee has approved application of ARPA funds to lost revenue and allocation of tribal funds to the ARPA Federal Rescue Funds to investments in the “Lost Revenue” line (ARPA FRF LR) in the Investment Report. The savings from the application of these funds has resulted in tribal funds being placed in the line “Tribal Contribution Savings” in the Investment Report presented in the Treasurer’s Report” The Oneida Business Committee determined that these funds should be used as set out in resolution BC-06-09-21-B, Setting Goals for Application of Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to Direct Support to Individuals, Families, Community and the Oneida Nation, as amended by resolution BC-06-23-21-C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance. In resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee identified that the primary applications for the use of ARPA FRF would be to aid members and create tangible benefits related to housing, food sovereignty, education, and culture. In addition, the Oneida Business Committee directed the ARPA FRF to be spread across a three (3) year period in eight (8) specific categories to guide expenditures to meet such primary applications in an informed and transparent manner through the approval of projects by resolution. After the adoption of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee received information which indicated that there was a more immediate need to address the pandemic’s twelve (12) to fifteen (15) month negative impact on the membership’s access to jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-06-23-21C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance, which amended resolution BC-06-09-21-B to reflect its decision, which, more specifically, was to apply the 45% Direct Membership Assistance payment of three thousand dollars ($3,000) in the current fiscal year, with any remaining funds after the payment to be allocated in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. Additionally, resolution BC-06-23-21-C provided clarification on the eligibility for membership assistance general welfare exclusion payments, Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 32 of 120 application period, obligation, and ability to approve projects across fiscal years; and directed that the allocations be reviewed at least each fiscal year to determine whether modifications should be made. The work sheet that was attached to resolution BC-06-09-21-B was also deleted by resolution BC-06-23-21-C and replaced with the work sheet attached thereto, entitled, American Recovery Plan Act – FRF; Lost Revenue; ARPA FRF LR Investments – Updated June 23, 2021. The Oneida Business Committee was then presented with recommended amendments to the processes based on implementation of the June 2021 resolutions, application of ARPA FRF through the lost revenue formula, identification of direct use and Tribal Contribution Savings. The Oneida Business Committee reviewed the recommendations and determined that the recommended amendments offer clarification in the processes and provide reporting at intervals that will keep all parties informed on the status of approved projects. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes and Allocations, which superseded the processes identified in Resolve #6 of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, as amended by Resolve #2 of resolution BC-06-23-21-C and adopted a new project approval process which was to be supplemented with needed Standard Operating Procedures approved by the FRF Program Office. Resolution BC-03-30-22-A had certain responsibilities delegated to the Strategic Planner. For the 2023-2026 term the Oneida Business Committee has removed the Strategic Planner from the approved positions for the support of the Oneida Business Committee. The Oneida Business Committee has identified a need to amend the reporting process and provide the membership reporting on the status of the TC Savings projects funds. Through the adoption of resolution BC05-22-24-A, Amending BC Resolution 03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes and Allocations, the Oneida Business Committee amends the reporting process identified in resolution BC 03-30-22-A to address reporting by the project owner and the Chief Financial Officer. This resolution also provides that the resolution BC-03-30-22-A updated Tribal Contributions Savings Allocation spreadsheet is the last approved Tribal Contribution Savings Allocation spreadsheet and is attached to this amended BC resolution. The Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-04-26-23-G, Obligation for Skenandoah Front Lobby Renovation Utilizing Tribal Contribution Savings, which approved the obligation of funds for the Skenandoah Front Lobby Renovation in the amount of $250,000 from Tribal Contribution Savings Overall Priority – Land, Infrastructure, Sovereignty; with Todd VanDen Heuvel, Executive HR Director assigned as the Project Owner. This project was to be concluded by February 2025. Resolution BC-04-26-23-G was exempt from the statement of effect requirement in accordance with resolution BC-07-28-21-L, Amending Requirement for a Statement of Effect to Exclude Resolutions Obligating ARPA FRF LR Funds for Projects Approved Through the FRF Office.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: December 30, 2024 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The Oneida Nation received federal funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds to address matters arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oneida Business Committee has approved application of ARPA funds to lost revenue and allocation of tribal funds to the ARPA Federal Rescue Funds to investments in the “Lost Revenue” line (ARPA FRF LR) in the Investment Report. The savings from the application of these funds has resulted in tribal funds being placed in the line “Tribal Contribution Savings” in the Investment Report presented in the Treasurer’s Report” The Oneida Business Committee determined that these funds should be used as set out in resolution BC-06-09-21-B, Setting Goals for Application of Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to Direct Support to Individuals, Families, Community and the Oneida Nation, as amended by resolution BC-06-23-21-C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance. In resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee identified that the primary applications for the use of ARPA FRF would be to aid members and create tangible benefits related to housing, food sovereignty, education, and culture. In addition, the Oneida Business Committee directed the ARPA FRF to be spread across a three (3) year period in eight (8) specific categories to guide expenditures to meet such primary applications in an informed and transparent manner through the approval of projects by resolution. After the adoption of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee received information which indicated that there was a more immediate need to address the pandemic’s twelve (12) to fifteen (15) month negative impact on the membership’s access to jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-06-23-21C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance, which amended resolution BC-06-09-21-B to reflect its decision, which, more specifically, was to apply the 45% Direct Membership Assistance payment of three thousand dollars ($3,000) in the current fiscal year, with any remaining funds after the payment to be allocated in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. Additionally, resolution BC-06-23-21-C provided clarification on the eligibility for membership assistance general welfare exclusion payments, Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 41 of 120 application period, obligation, and ability to approve projects across fiscal years; and directed that the allocations be reviewed at least each fiscal year to determine whether modifications should be made. The work sheet that was attached to resolution BC-06-09-21-B was also deleted by resolution BC-06-23-21-C and replaced with the work sheet attached thereto, entitled, American Recovery Plan Act – FRF; Lost Revenue; ARPA FRF LR Investments – Updated June 23, 2021. The Oneida Business Committee was then presented with recommended amendments to the processes based on implementation of the June 2021 resolutions, application of ARPA FRF through the lost revenue formula, identification of direct use and Tribal Contribution Savings. The Oneida Business Committee reviewed the recommendations and determined that the recommended amendments offer clarification in the processes and provide reporting at intervals that will keep all parties informed on the status of approved projects. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes and Allocations, which superseded the processes identified in Resolve #6 of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, as amended by Resolve #2 of resolution BC-06-23-21-C and adopted a new project approval process which was to be supplemented with needed Standard Operating Procedures approved by the FRF Program Office. Resolution BC-03-30-22-A had certain responsibilities delegated to the Strategic Planner. For the 2023-2026 term the Oneida Business Committee has removed the Strategic Planner from the approved positions for the support of the Oneida Business Committee. The Oneida Business Committee has identified a need to amend the reporting process and provide the membership reporting on the status of the TC Savings projects funds. Through the adoption of resolution BC05-22-24-A, Amending BC Resolution 03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes and Allocations, the Oneida Business Committee amends the reporting process identified in resolution BC 03-30-22-A to address reporting by the project owner and the Chief Financial Officer. This resolution also provides that the resolution BC-03-30-22-A updated Tribal Contributions Savings Allocation spreadsheet is the last approved Tribal Contribution Savings Allocation spreadsheet and is attached to this amended BC resolution. The Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-10-26-22-G, Obligation for Transit Garage Utilizing Tribal Contribution Savings, which approved the obligation of funds for the Transit Garage in the amount of $72,000 from Tribal Contribution Savings Overall Priority – Land, Infrastructure, Sovereignty; with Carol Moore, Transit Manager assigned as the Project Owner This project was to be concluded by February 2025. Resolution BC-10-26-22-G was exempt from the statement of effect requirement in accordance with resolution BC-07-28-21-L, Amending Requirement for a Statement of Effect to Exclude Resolutions Obligating ARPA FRF LR Funds for Projects Approved Through the FRF Office. This resolution amends resolution BC-10-26-22-G to extend the date in which the project needs to be completed by from February 2025 to September 30, 2025, and also adds in references CIP number #04-022. Conclusion Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.
