MEMORANDUM

Date: January 5, 2024

To: Debra Danforth, OCHD Division Director

From: Kristin Jorgenson-Dann, OCHD PRC Supervisor

Re: Modification of BC Resolution 08-28-13-B

This is a request to update BC Resolution 08-28-13-B. It is necessary to update BC Resolution

08-28-13-B relating to the approval of PRC batches for payment. Below are the justifications for

the requested changes:

1. Update CHEF amount in BC Resolution from $19,000.00 to $25,000.00.

a. This is the correct amount for access to CHEF funds.

2. Update sign-off authority for health care payments from $100,000.00 & $50,000.00 to

both being for $1,000,000.00.

a. Rising costs of health care

b. Increase in amount of patients served

c. Internal processes with Accounts Payable that may delay a weekly batch (month

end, fiscal year end) from being sent for payment timely. There may be two or

three weeks of batches that will be approved resulting in a higher amount for

the batch approval.

d. Prevent delay in payment to outside providers, avoid collections for patients.

e. The OCHD Division Director a backup for approvals so payments are not delayed

and meet Accounts Payable timeframes.

f. Data; here is some information from the last six batches that were approved for

payment

i. Batch approved 11/16/2023 totaled $124,201.18

ii. Batch approved 11/08/2023 totaled $323,264.26

iii. Batch approved 10/26/2023 totaled $337,337.24

iv. Batch approved 10/11/2023 totaled $161,585.77

v. Batch approved 09/26/2023 totaled $192,267.90

vi. Batch approved 09/20/2023 totaled $191,652.71

By having the resolution revised as requested, it will better serve PRC patients and our outside

health care partners with timely payments. Thank you.

Date: April 25, 2024

Re:

Resolution Proclamation May is Mental Health Matters Month

May is Mental Health Matters Month

Every day, millions of people face stigma related to mental illness, causing many to face

their mental health challenges for years without help. Each May, Mental Health Matters

Month provides the opportunity for everyone to come together to illuminate mental

health awareness to stop the stigma. Bringing forth this awareness is crucial to helping

people reach out for the assistance they deserve.

To stand in solidarity to stop the stigma surrounding mental health, we are contacting

you to request that the Oneida Nation adopt the following resolution to recognize May

as a yearly awareness as Mental Health Matters Month in our community. By officially

recognizing May as Mental Health Matters Month, we believe we can help unite our

community members with a shared vision of improved mental health and equality.

We have provided a pre-written proclamation below that can be adapted as needed to

reflect our community’s specific needs. This is a time to amplify the voices of all people

who want to put an end to the stigma and create a community where everyone feels

comfortable reaching out for help. We believe taking this step to declare Mental Health

Matters Month in our community will show that the Oneida Nation is an ally and

supportive leader in these efforts.

We hope you will join us in raising awareness and putting an end to the stigma.

PURPOSE

The PURPOSE of the Oneida Nation Veteran Affairs Committee (ONVAC) is to serve as an

advisory body to the Oneida Nation’s Veteran Services Office in all matters related to the

Oneida Nation’s veteran’s rights, benefits, veteran affairs issues, and to protect the honor and

integrity of the Oneida Nation and all veterans who have served honorably in the United States

Uniformed Services. It is the PURPOSE of the ONVAC to assist the Tribal Veterans Services Officer

(TVSO) in the formulation and administration of veteran’s programs, services, ceremonies and

events as necessary, and to be the advocates for the Chartered Veterans Organizations and

other organized veteran groups located on the Oneida Reservation. Furthermore, the ONVAC

shall represent the Oneida Nation at the request of the elected Oneida Business Committee

(OBC) who have appointed each member to the ONVAC. Finally, the ONVAC shall serve as the

responsible party for the management of the Veteran’s Memorial site to be officially named by

the Oneida Land Commission, in the near future.

AUTHORITY

ONVAC was established by the Oneida Business Committee (OBC) by motion on January 12,

1994 and further established through the adoption of bylaws on October 29, 1997, which were

amended on February 13, 2013 and again on November 14, 2023, which the ONVAC approved.

The updated bylaws are currently in the process of being approved by the OBC.

ACCOMPLISHMENT”

ACCOMPLISHMENT #1

Summary:

Color Guard Activities: Completion of Color Guard presentations at three community events.

Successfully assisted Oneida Women Veterans to organize, gather attire and Present the Colors

at two events (Oneida GTC Meeting and the GLANEA Conference in Oneida). Flag Raising

(Oneida Nation Flag) Ceremony at the Discover Green Bay Visitors Center.

Impact:

Public Packet

88 of 165

Service to the Oneida People as well as representing the veterans of our community by

providing honor to all who have served in the United States Uniformed Services. Taking the

leadership role in ceremonies, meetings, funerals, etc., the ONVAC continues to “give back” to

the People and community who have supported us for our service. We are recognized as

representatives of our Oneida Nation and the United States when we participate in the

presentation of the colors at various activities.

Accomplishment #2

Summary:

No Major Activity this Quarter

Impact:

Community engagement and celebrations within our community, showing our veterans are

supporting our community.

Accomplishment #3

Summary:

No Major Activity this Quarter

Impact:

In giving we shall receive. Our Oneida Nation Veterans support activities both within and outside

of our communities, thereby providing support to the needs and desires of our larger geographic

area and organizations.

Accomplishment #4

Summary:

Oneida Female Veterans Color Guard: All veteran organizations including ONVAC and the

Oneida Business Committee supported this activity financially. In addition, ONVAC supported

the coordination of multiple activities associated with having our Oneida Nation Women

Veterans prepare for presenting the colors at the future GTC meetings, funerals, celebrations,

etc.

Impact:

Oneida Female Veterans are equally important components of the Oneida veteran

community as the male veterans. Although there are no specific “female veteran

organizations” within the Oneida Nation, all females who meet the criteria for membership

are eligible for participation within those organizations, this includes the ONVAC. All of our

veteran organizations on the Oneida Reservation (ONVAC, WIVA and the VFW) recognize

our female veterans as equals. Therefore, we all feel female veterans should participate in

being honored for presentation of the colors just as the males are. This group of volunteers

Public Packet

89 of 165

have presented the colors at two major activities thus far this FY (GTC meeting and GLANEA

Conference in Oneida).

Accomplishment #5

Summary:

Community Breakfast: Each Friday morning, the Oneida Veteran Service Office staff and

veteran volunteers (including ONVAC members) prepare and serve breakfast to the veterans

and Oneida community members. This breakfast is financed by donations from the attendees.

Impact:

Camaraderie brings a group of people with like interests together to meet, celebrate, visit and

EAT! The community breakfasts at the Oneida Veterans Service Office are just the place for all of

the above. Starting off as a kind gesture for our community veterans, the breakfast activity now

brings many people together each week and, also provides a forum for educational

opportunities for the community.

GOALS

Long-term Goal #1

Strengthen veteran participation in the Oneida community by the continuation of programs and

services which are currently being provided and continuously being available to assist wherever

and whenever there is a need.

Responsiveness – Availability to the public and timeous reaction to the needs and opinions of

the public.

Update on Goal:

ONVAC members continue to be available to our People and community. We participate in

community activities which enhance the community’s quality of life.

Short-term Goal #1

Continue to support the efforts to enhance the Veteran Memorial (site) by working with the

Oneida Land Commission on the Lease and Naming of the site. Furthermore, working with

Tourism and the Oneida Engineering Department on enhancements and improvements as well

as replacement of the “paver bricks” and the addition of two new monuments.

Consensus Oriented – Public participation in the planning and implementation of the

enhancements with all veterans as well as the Oneida community by providing continuous

updates through meetings and multi-media outlets and publications.

Update on Goal:

An “all veteran” meeting was held discussing the Veteran Memorial (site) enhancements

currently being completed (construction) with additional meetings as the projects continue. The

ONVAC has representatives in the two chartered veteran organizations (VFW & WIVA) and their

continuous discussions, plans, etc. continue to occur.

TO:

Oneida Business Committee

FROM:

Brooke Doxtator, Boards, Committees and Commissions Supervisor on behalf of

the Oneida Personnel Commission

DATE:

April 19, 2024

RE:

Oneida Personnel Commission Update

The purpose of this correspondence is to provide you with an update on the status of the Personnel

Commission, and to seek Oneida Business Committee (OBC) direction on proceeding with the

outlined options or determining a different course of action.

Background

On April 11, 2018, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC‐04‐11‐18‐A entitled,

Dissolution of Personnel Commission, Tolling all Timelines in Personnel Related Matters, and

Directing the Development of Emergency Amendments to Existing Laws. They also adoption

resolution BC‐04‐11‐18‐B Creation of the Personnel Selection Committee.

On September 12, 2018, the Oneida Business Committee adopted a motion to defer posting the

Oneida Personnel Commission vacancies until the updated bylaws are presented and approved by

the Oneida Business Committee.

On September 26, 2018, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC‐09‐26‐18‐F entitled,

"Rescission of the Dissolution of the Oneida Personnel Commission and Related Emergency

Amendments in accordance with General Tribal Council's August 27, 2018, Directive."

This resolution formally recognized General Tribal Council's directive to rescind the actions of the

Oneida Business Committee related to the dissolution of the Oneida Personnel Commission, and to

rescind the related emergency amendments. As a result, resolution BC‐04‐11‐18‐A, which dissolved

the Oneida Personnel Commission, was formally repealed and the Oneida Personnel Commission

was formally reinstated.

Resolution BC‐09‐26‐18‐F (attached) provides details on how the Oneida Personnel Commission's

responsibilities will be addressed until such time that the Oneida Personnel Commission is prepared

to exercise its authority once again.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

Public Packet

Also, on September 26, 2018, a proposed draft of the bylaws was presented to the Oneida Business

Committee for consideration. The Oneida Business Committee adopted a motion to defer the Oneida

Personnel Commission bylaws to an Oneida Business Committee work meeting for further review

and discussion.

On October 16, 2018, the Oneida Personnel Commission bylaws were discussed during the Oneida

Business Committee work session, during this meeting the Oneida Business Committee made the

decision to defer the Oneida Personnel Commission bylaws to a separate meeting between the

Nation’s Secretary, the Legislative Operating Committee Chairman, and the staff of the Legislative

Reference Office for more in‐depth discussion and consideration of ideas.

On November 28, 2018, the Legislative Operating Committee, provided an update to the Oneida

Business Committee on the progress of the Oneida Personnel Commission.

On January 9, 2019, the Oneida Business Committee adopted the Oneida Personnel Commission

bylaws.

On October 23, 2019, the Oneida Business Committee adopted further amendments to the Oneida

Personnel Commission bylaws.

POSTING AND APPOINTMENTS – HISOTRY & CURRENT STATUS

On January 23, 2019, we posted the vacancies for the Oneida Personnel Commission and continued

to do so throughout the year until the position were filled.

In the beginning of 2020, OPeC had five (5) members:

 Renee Zakhar.

On March 11, 2020, the Oneida Business Committee appointed Twylite Moore to the Oneida

Personnel Commission, however, Twylite was unable to take her oath of office due to the COVID‐19

pandemic.

“Motion by Jennifer Webster to appoint Twylite Moore to the Oneida Personnel Commission

Ayes: Daniel Guzman King, David P. Jordan, Trish King, Brandon Stevens, Ernie Stevens

III, Jennifer Webster

Daniel Thomas’ term was expiring March 31, 2020, this vacancy was posted January 31, 2020

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

On March 19, 2020, a COVID‐19 there was a Core Decision Making Team Declaration for the

Suspension of all non‐emergent expenses & stipends and activity by certain boards,

committees, and commissions. This declaration included the Personnel Commission.

On April 8, 2020, the Oneida Personnel Commission was placed in temporary closure status

by BC Resolution 04‐08‐20‐B. This resolution also discontinued oaths of office.

While in temporary closure status Sandra Skenadore’s term expired. This vacancy along with the five

(5) Pro tem vacancies have been posted since May 2021. This action results in two (2) regular

position vacancy, and continuation of the five (5) Pro tem vacancies. It is notable that all five (5) Pro

tem positions were vacant prior to COVID as well.

In April of 2021, the Oneida Business Committee adopted BC Resolution 04‐14‐21‐B, which

authorized the boards, committee, and commissions to begin meeting virtually effective June 14,

2021, if needed.

On August 24, 2021, Twylite Moore was administered her oath of office. Ms. Moore is eligible to

resume her term until March 31, 2025. At this point in time, all regular positions were filled;

however, the five (5) Pro tem positions remained vacant.

On February 9, 2022, the Oneida Business Committee terminated the appointment of Carol Smith,

this vacancy was posted immediately after her termination and has remained vacant due to no

applicants. This action results in two (2) regular position vacancies, and continuation of the five (5)

Pro tem vacancies.

On March 17, 2022, Carole Liggins submitted her resignation effective immediately. This action

resulted in three (3) regular position vacancies, and continuation of the five (5) Pro tem vacancies.

On March 31, 2022, Renee Zakhar’s term expired this vacancy was posted since February 2022,

however, no applications were received. This action resulted in four (4) regular position vacancies,

and continuation of the five (5) Pro tem vacancies.

On April 14, 2022, the GAO presented this memorandum at the OBC work session. It was determined

that we should continue the status quo with suggestions to announce the vacancies on Facebook

Live and an article in the Kalihwisaks.

Between April 2022 and September 2023, the GAO office continued to post the vacancies and

provide quarterly updates to the Oneida Business Committee.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

In accordance with their bylaws §1‐7, the Commissioners must complete training prior to

participating in any screenings, interviews and/or grievance hearings on behalf of the OPeC.

The Training and Development Department from the Human Resources Area identified training for

the Oneida Personnel Commission.

The former Commissioners struggled to complete this training on their own. We haven’t had one

commissioner complete all the training for full certification2 to date. We are asking the Business

Committee to consider adding language to their motions when appointing members to the OPeC

that they need to receive full certification within 180 days of appointment.

NEXT STEPS

1. The GAO will continue to work on filling the vacant positions.

2. The OBC is reviewing the OPeC bylaws to assess if changes are needed.

Requested Action

Accept this memorandum as an update on the progress of the Oneida Personnel Commission and

determine next steps, if needed.

Full certification allows members to participate in pre‐screenings, interviews, and hearings.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ACCOMPLISHMENT #1

Summary:

One of the Commissions goals is to develop positive relationships with the Oneida Community.

Impact:

The Police Commission has open mandatory monthly meetings with the Police Chief and/or the

Assistant Police Chief to review and approve the Oneida Police Department monthly report and

to keep the Police Commission informed of all duties and responsibilities of the department and

provide guidance. In accordance with the Law Enforcement Ordinance, the Commission

worked with the Police Department to approve and fill vacant positions and approve standard

operating procedures (SOP) and work standards.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2

Summary:

Develop three (3) community events to promote good relations between the community, Police

Commission, and Police Department while measuring attendance at events.

Impact:

The Commission is looking forward to working with and supporting the Police Department in

community events throughout the year. It is important to the Commission to have these stable

Public Packet

relationships with both the Oneida Community and the Police Department. Being present at

events, participating and being involved helps to promote healthy, safe, and strong bonds with

the community and the Police Department.

GOALS

LONG-TERM GOAL #1

The Commission will participate in community events to help create and promote positive,

stronger relationships within the Oneida Community and with the Oneida Police Department.

Cultural Relevancy and Strategic Outlook

Update on Goal:

Continue working with the Police Department to develop events quarterly.

LONG-TERM GOAL #2

Each Commissioner will have the opportunity to attend training to become more familiar with

law enforcement.

Strong Governing Systems

Update on Goal:

Request any upcoming trainings or conferences that would benefit the Oneida Police

Commission and allow them to provide better support and/or guidance to the Oneida Police

Department.

QUARTERLY GOAL #1

The Commission will participate in community events to help create and promote positive,

stronger relationships within the Oneida Community and with the Oneida Police Department.

Promoting positive community relations

Update on Goal:

At the beginning of the quarter the Chief of Police brought forward a request on acquiring an

emotional support animal within the Police Department. In December the Chief requested

approval to move forward in collaboration with the Oneida Nation High School to obtain a

puppy that would be partnered with the School Liaison Officer. We were advised the puppy

would be received in January 2024 and will begin training soon after. The Oneida Police

Commission is happy to welcome Smudge and look forward to hearing about her

accomplishments and successes not only in her therapeutic aid for the community but to the

staff, dispatchers, and officers of the Oneida Police Department as well. There was also the

annual blanket making event at the Anna John Resident Centered Care Community, and it was

success.
