Subject:

Reinitiate OBC Planning Standing Meetings

~A...t the end of th.e February 11, 2009 OBC meeting,· I was requested to draft a

recommendation to reinstate the Business Committee Planning Meetings providing
purpose, structure and responsibilities. More specifically, the purpose of these meetings
would be to address concerns regarding community development. Such items for
discussion would relate to the Tribe's smart growth plans, comprehensive plan, service
agreements, roads, community development, zoning issues, jurisdictional issues and any
ancillary issues that fall within these categories.
I am recommending the Standing Committee on Resources (SCR) (per the first
structural draft-see attached) be responsibie to manage an agenda that would rename the
Standing Committee on Resources to the Conu.nunity Planning Committee, Standing
Committee of the OBC.

Memorandum
To:

Community Development Planning Committee

From:

Daniel Guzman, CDPC Vice Chairman

Date:

May 1, 2018

Re:

Oneida Nation's 200 Year Celebration

In 2013, the Oneida Business Committee recognized that year 2023 will mark the 200 year
milestone of Oneidas arriving to our current territory in Wisconsin. At that time, the Oneida
Business Committee directed Legislative Affairs/Public Relations lead a team of community
members to plan for this event. The Business Committee also directed Finance to develop a
budget specific to this event and beginning in FY15 set aside $10,000 each year for this event.
Community members who lobbied to get the funding set aside have indicated that they would
like to see a stone monument commemorating our move from NY to our current territory.
Other community members have expressed a desire to place a stone that would commemorate
the standing stone. With these types of ideas from the community along with the continued
planning on the Cultural Heritage site, I am requesting that this be included in the Cultural
Heritage site planning and CDPC sponsor a separate capital improvement project that would be
included in the FY19 budget with funds beginning to be set aside.
Also, in consultation with the Treasurer's office, the directive to Finance to set aside dollars for
this specific event has not been fulfilled. Thus, no dollars have been set aside and I would like
CDPC consider sending a request to the Business Committee to have Finance set aside $50,000
per year beginning in FY19 through FY23 for this event.
In an effort to monitor the progress and continue to move the planning forward, I am
requesting the CDPC add 11 200 Year Celebration" as a standing item and assign the Cultural
Heritage site planning team to be assigned to create a team, that includes community
members, to plan for this celebration.
YawAko for your consideration of this request.

Resolution
Personnel

Selection

The Personnel Selection Committee was created by the General Tribal
Council to protect against issues of nepotism and enforce Oneida and
Indian preference. The Personnel Selection Committee was renamed the
Personnel Commission by the Oneida Business Committee in 1990 by
#BC-4-13-90-A. In 1993, the Oneida Business Committee expanded the
Commission’s duties to include hearing authority for employment matters.
In 2013, the General Tribal Council adopted the Judiciary Law, and
amended the Constitution to adopt Article V- to create an independent
Judiciary. In 2013, the General Tribal Council reaffirmed that action.
Since then, the Oneida Business Committee has worked to move hearing
authorities to the Judiciary- which reflects the GTC action to create an
Oneida Judiciary Law. In an effort to continue to consolidate hearing
authorities, the Oneida Business Committee recreated the Personnel
Selection Committee- a Committee without hearing authority by
Resolution # BC-04-11-18-B.

(a)

The Committee does not:
(1)
have authority to score applicants during the interview process,
(2)
have hearing body authority,
(3)
have authority to enter into contracts,
(4)
have authority to create policy or legislative rules.

1-4

Office.

The official mailing address of the Committee shall be:
Personnel Selection Committee
P.O. Box 365
Oneida, WI 54155

1-5

Membership. The Committee shall:
(a) Consist of five (5), and not more than eight (8) members.
(1) Each member shall hold office until his or her term expires, until
his or her resignation, or until his or her appointment is terminated
in accordance with the Comprehensive Policy Governing Boards,
Committees and Commissions.
