Memorandum

To:

Oneida Business Committee

From:

Larry Barton, Treasurer

Date:

April 14, 2024

Re:

Amending BC Resolution 3-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution

Savings Processes and Allocations

Amendment to BC Resolution 3-30-22-A was placed on the BC Work Session Agenda of

May 2, 2024, for discussion.

Oversight of Tribal Contribution Savings Allocations through amendment to BC

Resolution 3-30-22-A directs the Finance area instead of the Strategic Planner to

manage financial reporting. The reporting process had three key items of discussion:

I. Finance is required to handle this role for easier access and timely reporting on

allocation statuses.

2. Allows redirection of funds if needed and creates "use it or lose it" expectations.

3. Provide for monthly reporting.

The agreed upon next steps stemming from the May 2, 2024, BC Work Session are:

I. Treasurer Larry Barton to submit updated resolution and allocation sheet to

upcoming BC agenda for formal approval.

2. Resolution items 5 and 6 need updating to remove Strategic Planner Reference.

Attached for your approval is the amended resolution to BC Resolution 3-30-22-A which

addresses and eliminates Strategic Planner references and identifies the reporting

process as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Noted: Amended Resolution has been

forwarded to the LRO for a Statement of Effect.

The attached Allocation Spreadsheet rescinded BC Resolution 6-23-21-C Allocation

Spreadsheet on 3-30-22 through BC Resolution 3-30-22-A and is the latest approved

spreadsheet to date.

Thank you.

Amending BC Resolution

Summary: Discussion on delegating oversight of funding allocations from an

amended BC resolution to the Finance area instead of the Strategic Planner.

Key Items:

• Finance should handle this role for easier access and timely reporting on

allocation statuses.

• Allows redirection of funds if needed and creates "use it or lose it"

expectations.

• Request for monthly reporting, though some note little change month

to-month.

Next Steps:

• Larry to submit updated resolution and allocation sheet to upcoming BC agenda

for formal approval.

• Determine if resolution items 5 and 6 need updating to remove Strategic

Planner reference.

Statement of Effect

Amend Resolution 3-30-22-A Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes and Allocations

Summary

Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee amends the reporting

process identified in resolution BC-03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings Processes

and Allocations.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: May 15, 2024

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

To provide guidance to the organization, as well as awareness to the membership, on how the

Nation intends to apply the ARPA FRF to its recovery efforts once received, the Oneida Business

Committee adopted resolution BC-06-09-21-B, Setting Goals for Application of Funding from the

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to Direct Support to Individuals, Families, Community and the

Oneida Nation. In resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee identified that the

primary applications for the use of ARPA FRF would be to aid members and create tangible

benefits related to housing, food sovereignty, education, and culture. In addition, the Oneida

Business Committee directed the ARPA FRF to be spread across a three (3) year period in eight

(8) specific categories to guide expenditures to meet such primary applications in an informed and

transparent manner through the approval of projects by resolution.

After the adoption of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee received

information which indicated that there was a more immediate need to address the pandemic’s

twelve (12) to fifteen (15) month negative impact on the membership’s access to jobs, education,

healthcare, and housing. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-06-23-21C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct

Membership Assistance, which amended resolution BC-06-09-21-B to reflect its decision, which,

more specifically, was to apply the 45% Direct Membership Assistance payment of three thousand

dollars ($3,000) in the current fiscal year, with any remaining funds after the payment to be

allocated in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. Additionally, resolution BC-06-23-21-C provided

clarification on the eligibility for membership assistance general welfare exclusion payments,

application period, obligation, and ability to approve projects across fiscal years; and directed that

the allocations be reviewed at least each fiscal year to determine whether modifications should be

made. The work sheet that was attached to resolution BC-06-09-21-B was also deleted by

resolution BC-06-23-21-C and replaced with the work sheet attached thereto, entitled, American

Recovery Plan Act – FRF; Lost Revenue; ARPA FRF LR Investments – Updated June 23, 2021.

The Oneida Business Committee was then presented with recommended amendments to the

processes based on implementation of the June 2021 resolutions, application of ARPA FRF

through the lost revenue formula, identification of direct use and Tribal Contribution Savings. The

Page 1 of 3

34 of 117

Oneida Business Committee reviewed the recommendations and determined that the

recommended amendments offer clarification in the processes and provide reporting at intervals

that will keep all parties informed on the status of approved projects. The Oneida Business

Committee then adopted resolution BC-03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings

Processes and Allocations, which superseded the processes identified in Resolve #6 of resolution

BC-06-09-21-B, as amended by Resolve #2 of resolution BC-06-23-21-C and adopted a new

project approval process which was to be supplemented with needed Standard Operating

Procedures approved by the FRF Program Office.

Resolution BC-03-30-22-A had certain responsibilities delegated to the Strategic Planner. For the

2023-2026 term the Oneida Business Committee has removed the Strategic Planner from the

approved positions for the support of the Oneida Business Committee. The Oneida Business

Committee has identified a need to amend the reporting process and provide the membership

reporting on the status of the TC Savings projects funds.

Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee amends the reporting

process identified in resolution BC 03-30-22-A to the following project reporting process:

5. Reporting. The Project Owner shall provide reporting to the Chief Financial

Officer (CFO) as requested by the CFO. The CFO shall provide a report that will

include the following:

 Obligated TC Savings Amount

 Approved Purchase Orders

 Actual Expenditures to Date

 Project Owner

 Balance of Obligated Funds Remaining for Expenditure

 Narrative Project update

The report will be part of the Chief Financial Officer report to the OBC Executive

Session, presented after Treasurer’s monthly report, posted on the Members Only

portion of the Oneida Nation website, included in the Annual and Semi-Annual

Reports to the General Tribal Council, as well as presented in the Kalihwisaks on

a quarterly basis.

6. Final Report. The Project Owner shall provide to the Chief Financial Officer

(CFO) a final project report identifying, at minimum – total cost amount

unexpended, and both tangible and intangible benefits – on the Oneida Business

Committee work session. Copies of project reports and quarter project reports shall

be maintained in the ARPA FRF Tracking Team files. Upon filing of the final report

with the Oneida Business Committee at a work session, the Chief Financial Officer

(CFO) shall update the “Updated TC Savings Obligations” work sheet to reflect

the amount of funds returned from the obligation back to the category allocated for

re-obligation.

This resolution also provides that the resolution BC-03-30-22-A updated Tribal Contributions

Savings Allocation spreadsheet is the last approved Tribal Contribution Savings Allocation

spreadsheet and is attached to this amended BC resolution.

Conclusion

Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Qumierly Rep01i

For the qumier ended: March 31, 2024

Narrative Section

Business practice, market overview, place within market:

• Q2 STR Occupancy was 32.6%; ADR was $121.54; RevPAR was $39.66 which are all

down to our comp set. All numbers are down due to the change from a Brand hotel chain

to Independent.

• Sales team cmTently at Director Sales & Catering, 2 Sales Manager's, Corporate Revenue

Manager, 2.5 Catering Manager's, Sales & Catering Admin and Catering Coordinator.

Competitive analysis:

• January 18, 2024, is when the hotel became Oneida Hotel, with that no 800 number was

available for guests to book rooms, no 3rd pmiy booking sites showed the independent

name. All reservations were only able to be booked on-site, with 1 dedicated

reservationist and Front Desk Agents to answer all calls.

• Choice had also sent out communications to current reservations from January 18th and

beyond that the new hotel "may or may not have the guest's reservation" causing some

confusion and letting the guests know to book with one of their other Choice prope1iies.

Strategies for improved value:

• Strategize to implement a better reservations procedure with the front desk, cun-ent

reservationist, and Casino, to combine 800 number for ease of communication.

• Worked with Agilysys and Site Minder to stmi 3rd pmiy reservations, was able to stmi

these reservations in March.

• Worked with Aimbridge Revenue Manager and Site Minder to assist in getting Global

Distribution Systems up and showing available for bookings from the Global Distribution

System.

Material chm1ges or developments in mm·ket/business:

• None this quarter

Market growth:

• Cambria on Oneida Street proposed, has since been turned down.

• Denmark, WI to get a hotel built and open prior to NFL Draft.

Pending legal action:

•

Yes

(NHOs). Each of these are in a category of small business that may be awarded prime

contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other 8(a)

firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as WomanOwned, HUB Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others. Finally,

Oneida ESC competes in full and open markets without restrictions.

Typical competitors include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees in NAICS

562910, Environmental Remediation. Another area of significant competition is the regional

Transportation Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).

e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of

business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.

Over the last four months, the federal contracting market has seen several developments:

Federal budget discussions have been marked by uncertainty, which is affected by ongoing

political debates over spending levels and priorities. This environment is influencing

planning and execution of contracts, with many agencies operating under continuing

resolutions that temporarily extend prior budget levels.

There is an increased focus on small businesses that includes initiatives aimed at lowering

entry barriers and boosting opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses. OESC

competes in the small business markets.

New policies and executive orders are placing a greater emphasis on cybersecurity and the

development of artificial intelligence within federal agencies. This shift is driving demand

for related products and services, creating new opportunities and compliance requirements

for contractors. OPS new initiative will compete in that market.

The Department of Defense (DoD) remains a major spender in the federal contracting arena,

with increased allocations for modernizing military capabilities, including software and

technology upgrades. The federal response to global security needs and infrastructure

demands are driving significant expenditures in these areas.

There has been a noticeable increase in federal contracts awarded to tribal entities,

continuing a multi-year trend of growth.

These developments suggest that while there are considerable opportunities in the federal

contracting market, the landscape is also rife with challenges that require careful navigation,

particularly in terms of compliance with new regulations, managing supply chain risks, and

adapting to budgetary uncertainties.

f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made

towards accomplishment of the same.

Goals for Oneida ESC Group

Growth at a sustainable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for

OESC occurs when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission

priorities.

Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:

Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where all companies have successful past

performance and where personnel involved in such projects have established strong

relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge based on

the combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to

include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army), The

Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Indian Affairs, WI Department of

Transportation, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District, and the Oneida Nation.

New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on

“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities

geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.

g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks,

resources, and relations available and needed to successfully fulfill outlined strategies

Key elements for success in the OESC model include:

Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff

utilization, backlog, and capacity.

Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and

reconfigure based on identified needs to deliver strategic growth.

Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.

Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.

Risk in the marketplace.

• We operate in highly competitive industries.

• Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards

by government agencies could adversely affect us.

• International operations carry additional risk.

• Loss of key personnel

• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.

h. Identification of medium (two to five year) and long (greater than five year) prospects

and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies, and risks

Our medium and long-range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business

diversification and consistent project management delivery.

We have successfully formed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for

services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable

strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.

Medium-term prospects

OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in

engineering, science, and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and

geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on

business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.

Long-term prospects

OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble

and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.

Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to

adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate

marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for

existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms

that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.

i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying

sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of

business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)

Our growth has been mostly organic and is based on our reputation in the market. We have

re-aligned our corporate brand by including Oneida in all business names moving forward.

disbursed by check, however check was not cashed yet, so it still shows in our account. OYLI currently has a total of

meeting the mission of OYLI. All fund raising has been halted since the pandemic, but OYLI is proceeding with organizational

planning.

Looking Forward: Goals/Announcements for FY‐2023

OYLI was provided with funding for an Executive Manager position, which will allow the Grant Manager to step back from this

duty that was assigned in 2017 when OYLI was launched. The Board had a facilitation session with HRD to align our mission

and vision. The Board is revising the Executive Manager job description to meet the current needs and update the Charter and

by‐laws of the Board before posting position. OYLI is also looking at developing a capital campaign to fundraise for

organizational support. The Board has been recruiting for the vacant board positions. The Board is waiting for at least 6

members before selecting new fulltime Officers.
