The Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) reviewed and cettified the Legal Resource Center
law Rule No. 1 -Application for Services on July 18, 2018.

Statement of Effect
Legal Resource Center Law Rule No. 1 – Application for Services
Summary
Legal Resource Center Law Rule No. 1 – Application for Services creates a procedure for
individuals to apply for services from the Legal Resource Center.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: May 14, 2018
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Legal Resource Center law (“the Law”) was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee by
resolution BC-09-13-17-L for the purpose of establishing a Legal Resource Center to provide
legal advice and representation to both Tribal members and employees in cases before the
Judiciary, and to represent the Oneida General Tribal Council at General Tribal Council
meetings. [8 O.C. 811.1-1].
The Law delegates administrative rulemaking authority to the Legal Resource Center attorney
for the purpose of promulgating a rule establishing how clients apply for the Legal Resource
Center’s services. [8 O.C. 811.5-3(l)]. The Legal Resource Center attorney position currently
remains vacant as there were no candidates on the ballot for the 2017 General Election or the
2017 Special Election. The Law allows for the Legal Resource Center advocates to assume the
duty of promulgating the rule for establishing how clients apply for the Legal Resource Center’s
services in the absence of an attorney. [8 O.C. 811.4-5].
The Legal Resource Center Law Rule No. 1 – Application for Services (“the Rule”) creates a
procedure for individuals to apply for services from the Legal Resource Center. [see Rule section
1.1-1]. The Rule discusses the following:
 Eligibility requirements [see Rule section 1.4];
 When representation begins, and who may receive representation from the Legal
Resource Center, and when representation can be declined [see Rule section 1.5]; and
 Fees and costs associated with representation with the Legal Resource Center [see Rule
section 1.6].
The provisions of the Rule do not exceed the rulemaking authority granted under the law, as
required by the Administrative Rulemaking law. [1 O.C. 106.4-1].
Conclusion
There are no legal bars to adopting the Legal Resource Center Law Rule No. 1 – Application for
Services.

PURPOSE
1.1
The General Tribal Council provided for the autonomous administration of the
Oneida Nation School System (ONSS) (formerly known as the Oneida Tribal
School) through the administration of the Oneida Nation School Board (formerly
known as the Oneida Tribal School Board). By agreement with the Oneida
Business Committee in the Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") dated March
21, 1988, the Oneida Nation School Board, in its responsibilities related to all
personnel matters, is to ensure that personnel decisions are based upon sound
educational practices and policies.
1.1.1
The MOA also directed that the Personnel Policies and Procedures
system (formerly known as the Oneida Tribal Management System) shall be
revised to accommodate the decisions made by the Oneida Nation School Board
related to personnel.

1.2

The MOA also provides that the Oneida Nation School Board (hereafter refened
to as "School Board") has the authority to enter into contracts, including contracts
with personnel, as necessary for the sound educational practices of ONSS.
1.2.1
The MOA further directs that all contracts related to the operation or
planning of the ONSS shall be first reviewed and endorsed by the School Board.
1.2.2
The School Board's initiation, review, and endorsement of contracts,
including personnel contracts, shall be presented in writing to the Business

Committee at times consistent with existing Oneida Nation Personnel Policies and
Procedures.
1.2.3
The MOA provides that the recommendations of the School Board
shall be followed by the Business Committee, unless good cause to the contrary is
shown.
1.3

This Standard Operating Procedure is enacted for the purpose of promulgating a
mle that provides for the School Board's ability to provide indirect compensation
in the fmm of a payment for unused personal leave and vacation time at the end of
a contract year when contracting with ONSS employees.
1.3.1
The School Board's decisions for ONSS contracted employees'
indirect compensation to include their annual unused vacation and/or personal
time shall be based on sound educational practices that consider the professional
and educational needs of the ONSS and the School Board's ability to recmit and
hire qualified personnel.
· The School Board has detetmined that ONSS employees are
1.3.2
frequently unable to utilize their personal and/or vacation leave due to their
working conditions and that it is fiscally responsible to enable these employees to
receive compensation in place of time off, consistent with sound educational
practices.

renewal notification that may be required under the then-cunent employee
contracts.
The School Board shall determine the terms and conditions that will be
offered to contracted employees for indirect compensation that may create
an exception to the then-cunent Personnel Policies and Procedures.
Indirect compensation may include cash compensation and be available
for both unused personal leave time and vacation time, consistent with the

Failure to request the hours accumulated over 200 hours, or over 184
accumulated hours for individuals earning 12 days of personal leave under the

Dear Desirae,
It has been my pleasure to serve with you on the Oneida Nation Arts Board. You are a strong leader, and I
know you and the board will attain the goals you have set. That said, I believe it is time for me to resign from
the board and focus on completing my PhD coursework.
Please consider my resignation effective immediately. I am happy to catch any replacements up to speed if
needed. If you would like my input on future Oneida Nation Nation Arts Boards candidates, please don’t
hesitate to ask.
Best,
Marena Bridges

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS (CIP) – CONCEPT PAPER
For
Food Distribution Store Concept
CIP #18-010
July 9, 2018
I. Purpose:
A. The purpose of this project is for the conversion of the food distribution and food pick
up area, associated with Food Distribution Services, to reflect a conventional Grocery
store layout and check out area.
II. Project Analysis
A. Project Description: The method of food selection, pick up and check out would be
converted to a conventional grocery store layout thereby providing clients an
enhancement of choice of produce and quantity needed within their allocation. The
delivery method would be more user friendly allowing clients to make individual
choices from standard store shelving, coolers and refrigeration units. Clients would be
able to stroll down the aisles to select items much like shopping for grocery items in a
conventional store rather than be given a box or bag of food that is selected for them
based on their qualified need. The checkout lanes would be similar to a conventional
cashier checkout lane to record food items picked up. The system provides clients with
choice, the ability to make decisions for themselves, and a heightened value of self in
utilizing a client friendly system.
B. Assumptions:
1. That the Tribal organization will support the project moving forward.
2. Funding will be available for developing the project.

C. Operational Impact:
1. The conversion to the existing Food Distribution system will enhance food
delivery services. The new system will streamline operations and not require
additional staffing.
D. Organizational Goals:
The project would support the following goals and objectives
of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan for the Oneida Reservation and its 2014 update:

Deciding on who can coach
Confirming athlete lists from coaches

Ordering busses or plane tickets
Setting up room assignments if not predetermined by Host Society
Ordering funds for the Admin (Tribal Rep) if driving and rental car if flying
Ordering funds for the Archery coaches (they drive the weapons across the border)
Figuring out how much per diem for athletes and coaches and ordering

Active Shooters: The ROI of an Effective Deterrent Daniel P. Murphy. The dramatic increase in both frequency
and death tolls resulting from active shooter events has forced
a national dialogue seeking answers. The security industry has
relied on traditional, widely-used security measures with good
success but now those measures are consistently failing
against armed and determined aggressors. The reality is there
is a paradigm shift occurring and the industry and law
enforcement need to adapt accordingly. New technologies in
the area of threat suppression should be a part of any
comprehensive security and life safety program. With that
there are always costs. How can security and law enforcement
leaders make the case for such expenditures effectively? All
this and more will be explored in this presentation.

Attendees will be given an opportunity to ask questions and
the panel will express their views or react to the views of other
panelists or the attendees. The discussion will help the
audience further clarify and evaluate their positions regarding
specific issues or topics discussed and increase their
of others. Additionally,

the NIGC will accept emailed questions from participants
prior to the event by submitting their questions to
training@nigc.gov.
