Tribal-Contribution-Savings Template.docx
SakoliThe Oneida Business Committee has approved the following projects to be funded with TC Savings
Great Law $63,790
I have attached the TC Savings Project resolution template. Please complete the template and
submit to the next available BC agenda as timing allows.
I believe it would be best to administer this funding the Cultural Heritage Admin business unit.
Please work with your accountant to have the PRT 888 added to your business unit.
Please be aware that the lion’s share of TC Savings dollars have been obligated and the portal will
soon be closed. Please submit your agenda requests to officially obligate the funds and ensure you
do not lose out on the opportunity.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
