BC Resolution #
Approval of Use of Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund for
Project ED19-022, Central Oneida Site Clean-up

-DRAFT-10/2/19WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe
recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,
of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and

WHEREAS,

the Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Fund was

a community space to be a catalyst for local community commerce, socialization, gathering
and economic development; and

efforts to activate this site location in Central Oneida making the site walkable and free of hazards
to the community.
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 recommending the approval of 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 $150, 000
from the Fund for the purpose of supporting Project ED19-022, Central Oneida Site Clean-up, and
has designated Pat Pelky, Executive Sponsor of the Brownfield Program, as being the party
responsible for overseeing the 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:
An update regarding this topic was provided to the Oneida Business Committee at the October 15, 2019, BC
Work Session. Attached is the Agenda Request to amend resolution # BC-07-26-17-J, Adoption of the Children’s
Code; regarding case transfer delay and the concern with unsigned 161 agreements. The current resolution
requires, that upon the law becoming effective, all new cases in Brown and Outagamie shall begin or transfer to
our Family Court.
Concerns with proceeding with case transfers without having signed 161 agreements presented prior to Code
Implementation on 10/01/19. The process of updating Governmental Services leadership and gaining support
regarding the concerns of proceedings without the agreements began on 9/24/19.
We have only had one case that has potential to transfer as of 10/1/2019. Aside, from this specific case if we
were to begin transferring cases without agreements could have two potential implications; which is what
prompted this conversation and request after further discussion.
1. We could lose the momentum and urgency to get these agreements approved
2. If we begin to transfer without the agreement in place and no financial support, there could be long-term
financial impact on the Nation.
a. Foster Care rates range between $404-$2000 per month depending on the assessed needs of the child.

Statement of Effect
Authorizing Discretion Regarding Implementation of Children’s Code, Chapter 708
Summary
The resolution amends resolution BC-07-26-17-J, Adoption of the Children’s Code and the
Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Act Policy, as amended by resolution BC-10-24-18-A, Amending
Resolution BC-07-26-17-J to Delay the Implementation of the Children’s Code, to address the
transfer of cases in regard to the Children’s Code.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: October 17, 2019
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee adopted the Children’s Code through resolution BC-07-26-17-J,
Adoption of the Children’s Code and the Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Act Policy, for the purpose
of providing for the welfare, care, and protection of Oneida children through the preservation of
the family unit, by assisting parents in fulfilling their responsibilities as well as facilitating the
return of Oneida children to the jurisdiction of the Nation, and acknowledging the customs and
traditions of the Nation when raising an Oneida child.
Resolution BC-07-26-17-J provided that the Children’s Code would become effective fifteen (15)
months after the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget. On October 8, 2017, the General Tribal
Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2018 budget through resolution GTC-10-08-17-A. The Children’s
Code was then set to become effective on January 8, 2019.
The Oneida Business Committee then took action through resolution BC-10-24-18-A, Amending
Resolution BC-07-26-17-J to Delay the Implementation of the Children’s Code, to amend
resolution BC-07-26-17-J to delay the implementation of the Children’s Code. Resolution BC-1024-18-A provided that the Children’s Code would become effective on October 1, 2019.
Additionally, resolution BC-07-26-17-J provided direction on how the transfer of cases from
Brown and Outagamie County jurisdiction to the jurisdiction of the Oneida Family Court shall
occur. Resolution BC-07-26-17-J provided that:
 When the Children’s Code becomes effective all new cases in Brown and Outagamie
County shall begin in or transfer to the Oneida Family Court;
 Any case in Brown and Outagamie County that has started within the most recent three (3)
months may transfer to the Oneida Family Court; and
 All other current cases may remain in Brown and Outagamie County, unless the Nation’s
Indian Child Welfare Department determines the case would be better suited in the Oneida
Family Court or another party motions the Court to transfer jurisdiction.

This resolution amends that third resolve section of resolution BC-07-26-17-J, as amended by
resolution BC-10-24-18-A, to provide that the following determination has been made for the
transfer of cases from Brown and Outagamie County jurisdiction to the jurisdiction of the Oneida
Family Court:
 When the Children’s Code becomes effective and the Act 161 Agreements with Brown and
Outagamie Counties are approved, the Indian Child Welfare Department shall either begin
all new cases in Brown and Outagamie County in the Oneida Family Court or shall seek to
transfer all new cases in Brown and Outagamie County to the Oneida Family Court.
 Any case in Brown and Outagamie County that has started within the most recent three (3)
months may transfer to the Oneida Family Court.
 All other current cases may remain in Brown and Outagamie County, unless the Nation’s
Indian Child Welfare Department determines the case would be better suited in the Oneida
Family Court or another party motions the Court to transfer jurisdiction.
This resolution is amending when new cases will begin in the Oneida Family Court or be sought
to be transferred from Brown and Outagamie County to the Oneida Family Court to be contingent
on the acquisition of 161 Agreements with Brown and Outagamie County due to the fact that the
Nation is currently in negotiations with both Brown and Outagamie County regarding the
development of 161 Agreements and wants to assure that funding for our out-of-home placement
is accessible.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.
