To continue receiving title insurance policies for real estate transactions underwritten by First American Title Insurance Company, the Oneida Business Committee will need to consider approving a limited waiver of sovereign immunity for each real estate closing OR approve an annual resolution for a limited waiver of sovereign immunity for First American Title Insurance Company on an annual basis. This requirement for Land Management to request separate limited waivers for each transaction is not efficient and risks the Nation’s ability to meet timelines.

Seconded by Sarah White for discussion who withdrew her support. Seconded by Chad Fuss. Abstained by RaLinda Ninham‐ Lamberies and Jonas Hill. Motion carried. Amendment to the main Motion by Lisa Liggins approval is contingent upon Gaming bringing back the impact of a 5 to 7‐year term for clarity to the next FC meeting on October 9, 2025. Seconded by Chad Fuss. For the record Jonas Hill abstained due to the significant concerns raised by the community members regarding the cost of this contract. I respectfully abstain from voting on this item. I believe it’s important that our decisions reflect the voices of the people we represent. For the record RaLinda Ninham‐Lamberies abstained as the term of 10‐year contract, from her perspective, puts the Nation at great liability because we are not sure if we can afford the financial obligations for 10 years with the changes that are occurring in Operational Costs in Gaming and the environment overall.

TSGAC, FAAS, and Budget Formulation are the only three committees that are mandated by law. In our last discussion, the IHS said they were developing a report that identifies all the committees, the purpose of each, and w , ho serves on those committees. The IHS will provide TSGAC with an update and identify the next steps.
