Oneida Business Committee Agenda Request
6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
The purpose of adopting this proclamation is to assist the Oneida Nation and community to strengthen its efforts
in reducing the occurrence of child abuse and neglect.
In 2016 there were 507 cases of child abuse and neglect affecting Oneida children. In 2017 and 2018 the
numbers increased to 513 and 546, respectively.
Every year nationwide April is celebrated and formally noticed as Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month.
During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention month programs are encouraged to promote activities to increase
awareness and prevention regarding child abuse and neglect.
In 2018 the Oneida Family Services department held its 1st Annual Glow Walk in the heart of Oneida. Community
members gathered to walk from the Norbert Hill Center to the Duck Creek Bridge, ate a traditional meal prepared
by the Oneida Cannery, and participated in a traditional Oneida Social with song and dance. Blue shirts were
provided to participants and blue pinwheel gardens were put up throughout the community with messages
from Oneida Youth regarding what contributes to their safety. The Oneida Nation was also encouraged to wear
blue on National Wear Blue day in effort to raise awareness as well.
The 2nd Annual Glow Walk will be held on April 18th with a traditional meal, an Oneida Social Dance, blue shirts
for participants, and with collaboration from Oneida Economic Support and the Oneida Police Department.
Other neighboring Child Protection Agencies (Brown & Outagamie Counties) are invited to strengthen
partnerships as well as to learn about the beauty and resiliency of the Oneida Nation.
Pinwheel gardens are also up throughout the community; at Oneida Social Services, Oneida Nation High School,
Oneida Nation Elementary, and Oneida Community Health Center. Children from the Family and Child Education
program (FACE) drew pictures representing family activities that bring them joy. The pictures will be on display
at the Glow Walk event. One of the Oneida Social songs during the Glow Walk event will include a dedication to
empowering children.
In regards to the Nation's Core Values we hope the Oneida Nation Business Committee will adopt this
proclamation as a resolution to formally recognize April as Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month annually
from this year forward.

Statement of Effect
Approval of Use of Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund
for Project ED19-008
Summary
The resolution approves the allocation of $25,200 from the Economic Development,
Diversification and Community Development Fund for the purpose of supporting Project ED19008.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: April 19, 2019
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund (“the Fund”)
was created and reaffirmed by resolutions BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, and
BC-01-23-19-C.
The Oneida Business Committee and Intergovernmental Affairs has requested an allocation of
$25,200 from the Fund to support a strategic initiative that advances the Nation’s cooperative
governance principles.
Resolution BC-01-23-19-C requires the Community and Economic Development Division
Director to review every request for use of the Fund, determine if the proposed use is consistent
with the Fund, and provide a written recommendation to the Oneida Business Committee regarding
whether to authorize funds to be allocated from the Fund to a specific project.
This resolution states that this requirement was met by the action of the Community and Economic
Development Division Director submitting an agenda request approving the request as consistent
with the purposes of the fund.
Resolution BC-01-23-19-C also requires that the Oneida Business Committee be responsible for
authorizing use of the Fund by a resolution clearly identifying the amount of funds authorized and
purpose of the funds, which may be identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic
development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation, and the
employee responsible for authorizing expenditures of the authorized amount.
This resolution states that the Oneida Business Committee does approve the allocation of $25,200
from the Fund for the purposes of supporting Project ED19-008 that advances the Nation’s
cooperative governance principles, and identifies Paula King-Dessert, Business Committee
Executive Assistant, as the responsible party for expenditure of these funds.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

6. Cover Memo:
Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:
A Tribal Utility Authority (TUA) has the potential to give Oneida Nation a seat at the table with energy decision
makers. Currently, Oneida Nation imports 97% of its electricity and 100% of its gas. Strategic energy planning,
endorsed by the Business Committee, has been an important process for the Tribe. Leverage, flexibility, control,
self-determination, and energy sovereignty describe the kind of visionary tactics that Oneida Nation desires to
pursue. A TUA may be a tool to assist with this endeavor.
Oneida Nation participated in a strategic energy planning workshop and is in process of developing its strategic
energy plan. Some of the goals that emerged from this effort emphasize a net-zero energy vision. Net-zero
energy is defined as increasing the Nation’s energy efficiency and local renewable energy deployment levels to
match the imported energy volume received from the electric and gas providers. In other words, Oneida Nation
is in a position to power its own community using various technical, political, and business development
strategies.
These are lofty goals that will require significant analysis to determine the optimum path to be successful.
Forming a TUA has proved to be successful for some Tribes across the nation. Oneida Nation’s situation is unique
considering our current energy provider profile. Certain policies and practices that the Nation is bound to make it
especially challenging to pursue its net-zero energy goals. A TUA analysis will provide insight into the current
complexities behind the energy network, state-federal-utility interactions, interconnection capabilities, 3rd party
partnerships, natural gas procurement, and business structures that will operate in the best interests of the
Nation.

Memorandum
To:
Oneida Business Committee
From: Lisa Summers, Secretary
Date: April 16, 2019
Re:
Activation of Special Project Funds Allocated to Youth Homeland
Tour
The purpose of this correspondence is to notify the Oneida Business
Committee (OBC) that the approved funds in the Special Projects Budget
(SPB) allocated to the Oneida Youth Homelands Tour (Tour), have been
activated to complete project.
Background
Each fiscal year during the budget process, the OBC has the opportunity to
submit requests for special projects or initiatives. During the FY-2019 budget
planning cycle, I sponsored a request for funds to be allocated for an Oneida
Homeland Tour for the youth. The original request was in the amount of
$67,680.50 and was intended to cover the participation of as many Oneida
students as possible. This initiative is intended to be an annual event for
Oneida youth. The main criteria for these requests, are that the project or
initiative support the approved three-year strategic directions and vision of
the Nation; this project aligns with the goals set forth by the OBC for the
2017-2020 term.
However, due to budget reductions, the final budget amount for this
initiative was set at $38,496.75 and the initiative was refocused to only the
Oneida Nation High School. Further, the OBC requested this initial year be
utilized as a “pilot” and requested an assessment be done after the event
conclusion for the use in development for future years. Ultimately, this
request was approved by the OBC and processed through the appropriate
budget steps and OBC procedure for the SPB; the budget was approved by
General Tribal Council on December 10, 2018.

Project Update(s) & Final Budget
Project Objective
The main intent of this initiative is to provide Oneida youth with a tangible,
applicable connection and experience of our Oneida homelands as well as
other Haudenosaunee communities: This long-term endeavor supports the
development of relationships within our communities. Additionally, this
effort builds upon the Oneida High School's academic programming for
language and culture which is taught at different grade levels throughout
high school. After this first year, an assessment will be completed to
determine necessary adjustments, and planning will begin for the next
school year. Lastly, all Oneida High School Seniors are eligible to attend.
Should future need require a student application process, it will be developed
in coordination with the management and leaders in the education area as
well as the school, to allow for maximum participation.
Next Step(s)
Subsequent years will include the Oneida Y.E.S. program and/or Education
area so other Oneida students attending local High Schools that are teaching
Oneida language and culture, can be included in future programming. To
date, we are aware that Seymour and Pulaski both have active programs.
Expansion to other districts and home-schooled students can be included in
a year three roll-out, provided adequate funding can be allocated to the
respective budgets.
Current Budget
Final costs will be reported at the completion of the event; however, currently
they are expected to come in at about $12,000 less than the original
projection for a total of $25,779.00 (attached). This is primarily due to the
initiative being changed to a pilot with a focus on the Oneida High School.
One more year of funds for this programming is anticipated to be through
the OBC’s SPB, then subsequently distributed to the Oneida High School and
Y.E.S. programs in year three (3) and beyond.
Requested Action(s):
1. Accept the update as information for the record, noting the Special
Project Budget funds are activated, and
2. Note for the record that Secretary Summers is an approved participate for
event for travel procedure purposes (attached).

Accomplishments of the Health Care Group during first half of FY 2019 Improving Access
and Continuous Quality Improvement
The Major accomplishment by the Health service group during the first and second quarters
was to achieve Public Health Accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board. The
Oneida Nation became the second Tribe in the Nation to become accredited. The
accreditation assures that the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division is meeting the Public
Health Accreditation Standards of care in the provision of public health to the Oneida
Community. Through the implementation of the Relatient patient engagement software,
we are now able to reach out to patients via email and text messages which has resulted in
decreasing No Show rates in multiple areas of the Division. With the implementation of
Relatient, text messaging to patients has helped to decrease our No-Show Rates.
Decreasing No Show Rates allows for greater access to appointments.
Supporting the Nation’s Priorities
The improving access to care enables the Division to assure that Oneida tribal members
and anyone eligible for services according to Indian Health Services are able to access
quality health care services.
What Health will continue to work on
The Health Care Services group continues to work on seeking accreditation through the
Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). This accreditation like the
PHAB accreditation will assure the customers that they are receiving quality care based
upon national standards for quality care.

Accomplishments of the Health Care Group during first half of FY 2019 Improving Access
and Continuous Quality Improvement
The implementation of the Electronic Health Record has accomplished the following major
areas of optimization over the past 2 quarters. All HIPAA Security policies have been
reviewed and updated. On-site Risk Assessment was completed 12/18/18 with an action
plan implemented. The Patient Portal has been improved by the implementation of the
Clinic visit summaries. E-signature has been expanded from the Behavioral Health to the
Medical Clinic and registration in all clinical areas through the use of Ipads for registration of
patients. Implementation of Relatient has been completed and go-live took place on
March 22, 2019. This will allow patients to provide feedback and allow staff to track
customer satisfaction on an on-going basis.

Supporting the Nation’s Priorities
Optimizing Technology allows the Health Division and the provision of Health Care to
continue to track customer feedback on an ongoing basis to allow the Division to
continually monitor where there may be trends that need to be addressed and/or
improved upon based upon the customer feedback. Implementation of the registration
process utilizing Ipads and electronic signatures enables our ability to better expedite the
registration process for the patients and allows us to improve our tracking of documents
and signatures directly imported into the patient record.
What Health will continue to work on
We will continue to monitor and track where improvements need to be made to continue
to improve the quality of patient care.

Accomplishments of the Health Care Group during first half of FY 2019 Improving Access
and Continuous Quality Improvement
Enhancing our workforce continues to be a struggle. Staff shortages in many areas of the
division have resulted to restriction of some services such as admissions to the AJRCCC due
to our inability to meet patient care needs with the specific staff needed to provide the
patient care. Access has improved in areas throughout the Division but still remains difficult
due to shortages of providers and loss of staff due to our inability to address wage
adjustments in critical positions.
Supporting the Nation’s Priorities
Enhancement of our workforce allows the Health care to be provided to the Oneida Nation
and to meet our requirements to the Indian Health Services by providing our required
programs, services, functions and areas in accordance with out Multi-year Funding
Agreement with the Department of Health Human Services/Indian Health Services.
What Health will continue to work on
We have started implementing Tele-Psychiatry within the Oneida Behavioral Health area
which has been met with tremendous satisfaction and support within the Oneida
Community. This will enable us to expand and address access to care as we continue to
develop this method of care delivery. We are currently in the process of implementing TelePsychiatry through the addition of a Child Psychiatrist which will greatly improve our access
to Child Psychiatric care.

Funding for the phase two of On^yoteaka Lake was secured and project was bid out to
contractors for implementation. Mowing treatments were completed on the invasive
species Phragmites at Ray Road, Adam Drive, Oneida Health Center, Trout Creek and
Oneida Waste Water Treatment Facility. Funding was submitted for restoration and
maintenance of wetland, grassland and edge habitat, restoring groundwater seepage
areas and reducing erosion. The new Forester secured a new bid for contracted hazardous
tree removals that OCC is unable to perform and 11 hazardous tree contract work orders
were completed in the first half of FY19.

and program implementation of construction of phase 2 expansion of On^yoteaka Lake is
scheduled to commence in Spring/Summer of 2019. Hazard tree removal contract budget
was increased to finish old work orders from the previous Forester and to reduce the wait
time for future contracted tree removals. Program management and implementation will
begin on new projects when we receive notification on numerous grant applications for
stewardship projects from BIA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and Circle of Flight funding
sources.
