Statement of Effect
Amendment to BC Resolution # 08-25-21-C Obligation for CIP #23-005, Residential Home Sites,
Utilizing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Federal Relief Funds
Summary
The resolution amends resolution BC-08-25-21-C, Obligation for CIP #23-005, Residential Home
Sites, Utilizing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Federal Relief Funds, extend the date in which
the project needs to be completed by from September 30, 2023, to December 31, 2026.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: October 23, 2023
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Nation received federal funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
funds to address matters arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oneida Business Committee
has approved application of ARPA funds to lost revenue and allocation of tribal funds to the ARPA
Federal Rescue Funds to investments in the “Lost Revenue” line (ARPA FRF LR) in the
Investment Report. The savings from the application of these funds has resulted in tribal funds
being placed in the line “Tribal Contribution Savings” in the Investment Report presented in the
Treasurer’s Report” The Oneida Business Committee determined that these funds should be used
as set out in 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, as amended by resolution BC-06-23-21-C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance.
The Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-08-25-21-C, Obligation for CIP #23-005,
Residential Home Sites, Utilizing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Federal Relief Funds, which
approved CIP #23-005, Residential Home Sites project, in the amount of $1,579,000 from ARPA
FRF LR, Housing category with Mark W. Powless, General Manager, assigned as the Project
Owner. Resolution BC-08-25-21-C was exempt from the statement of effect requirement in
accordance with resolution BC-07-28-21-L, Amending Requirement for a Statement of Effect to
Exclude Resolutions Obligating ARPA FRF LR Funds for Projects Approved Through the FRF
Office.
This resolution amends resolution BC-08-25-21-C, Obligation for CIP #23-005, Residential Home
Sites, Utilizing American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Federal Relief Funds, extend the date in which
the project needs to be completed by from September 30, 2023, to December 31, 2026, and also
changes the reference to the obligated funds from “ARPA FRF LR” to “Tribal Contribution
Savings.”
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Re:

Resolution - “The Designation of SafeShelter Inc. As The Principle Point of Contact for

Homeless Grants”

______________________________________________________________________________

Good day,
The nature of this request is for a BC resolution that would allow SafeShelter Inc. to apply for
grants addressing homelessness in the Oneida community under the sponsorship of the Oneida
Nation.
This is not a unique situation for Tribal governments who wish to have grant supported services
provided on the reservation that the government or its entities do not have the time, staff,
funding, or ability to do themselves. The Oneida Nation has acted as sponsor in the past for
other 501C3’s such as Wise Women Gathering. The Nation has provided services in the recent
past to support this organization and in this case, there would be no monetary commitment. This
would simply allow the SafeShelter Inc. to apply for grants to provide housing for homeless
individuals with the Oneida Nation acting as sponsor.
This would not, in my opinion, reduce or pierce the Tribes immunity shield and the agreement
would allow for the Nation to leave the sponsorship at anytime that it becomes a concern or an
impediment to Tribal business. Of course, any agreement would be subject to law office review.
We respectfully request authorization to submit this resolution to the Business Committee for
their consideration.
Thank you
If there are further questions, please contact:

CONCEPT PAPER
For
CONSERVATION FIELD OFFICE
CDC #21-115
October 20, 2023

I. Purpose:
A. Background.
1. In 2006 the Conservation Department was approved to move into the house
located on the parcel assigned to them for their field operations (N8047 County
Road U). The use of the house as an office was granted a waiver by the Business
Committee (4/12/06) of the 1996 policy of not using houses for office/business
purposes. The support for locating Conservation at this location was based upon
the Facilities Management Team’s (FMT) recommendation to allow the use as
temporary, with the long-term plan to replace the house with an office structure.
2. By 2018 the house was no longer capable of serving the needs of the department
both for functional need and due to the conditions of the structure. So, the
department moved its office function into the Land Management building on
Airport Drive. At the time, the Land Division was under restructuring efforts and
had available office space, however, this did not allow for the moving of
department equipment/materials/supplies/etc.
B. The proposed project is needed to address:
1. The physical separation of the office function from the field functions.
2. Vehicles stored outside.
a) Exposing them to the elements shortens the life span of these tribal assets.
b) Makes it difficult to control unauthorized persons from accessing the
vehicles.
3. Vehicles/assets not located at one property.
C. Having the office function physically separated from the field functions is problematic,
some of the issues include:
1. With no staff or limited time staff are on site, oversight of the grounds and dropoff of materials (wood yard waste, etc.) has been an issue. This includes
materials not placed in the proper location or inappropriate materials being left
on site.
2. Inefficient for staff to travel back and forth from physical office to field office
site.
a) Making it increasingly difficult to meet the direct service requirements
and requests from the community.
II. Project Analysis
A. Project Description: The proposed project would remove the existing house and

Public Packet

Concept Paper
CDC #21-115
construct a new building to provide space for offices, multi-purpose space for training,
breakroom & lockers, restrooms, shop space, cold storage space for tools, materials, etc,
and vehicle storage garage. The proposed building would be approximately 6,000 square
feet.

B. The new facility will be code compliant, more efficient for staff and equipment
maintenance requirements, and house vehicles/equipment in secured storage.
C. Assumptions:
1. That the Tribal organization will support the project moving forward.
2. Funding will be available for developing the project.
3. That the Tribal organization will support the ongoing operational needs/costs of
the new facility.
4. Forestry management practices resulting in wood resources for the wood
recycling program will increase the processing efforts to meet the demands of the
membership, community, and organization.
D. Operational Impact:
1. As the proposed project is replacing an existing structure, impacts to organization
support should not require additional staffing from DPW, Custodial, DTS, etc. A
full evaluation will be included in the project’s CDC Approval Package.
2. A new facility will be more efficient for staff and equipment maintenance
requirements. Housing vehicles/equipment in a secure area will prevent exposure
to the elements and unauthorized persons.
E. Organizational Goals:
The project would support the following goals and objectives
of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan for the Oneida Reservation and its 2014 update:
1. Plan Element: Facilities, Utilities, Transportation
a) GOAL: Enhance tribal sovereignty by investing in tribal infrastructure.
(1) Objective 2: Improve energy efficiency of tribal assets.
2. Plan Element: Natural Resources
a) GOAL: Commit to responsible stewardship of our natural resources.
3. Plan Element: Public Safety
a) GOAL #3: Protect tribal assets.
4. Plan Element: Community Design
a) GOAL: Create an Oneida community of wellness that supports the
individual’s tie to the land through a sense of place, identity, and appropriate
development.
(1) Objective 1: Create a positive sense of place which identifies the
Oneida community.

5. In addition to supporting the Comprehensive Plan, this project will contribute to
the goals within the Oneida Nation’s Integrated Resource Management Plan:
“Live, Sustain, Grow” (IRMP).
a) Specifically, this project proposal assists with continuing efforts to
execute the needs of the Oneida Community.
6. The project would support the following goals and objectives of the Conservation
Department:
a) GOAL: Harvest and utilization of our natural resources.
(1) Objective: Abatement of hazardous trees, for healthy and diverse tree
species.

(2) Objective: Harvest/Abatement of hazardous trees, contribute to safety
and wellbeing of our Elders, Membership, Community, and Organization.

PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Title: Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD) Integrated Campus
Project Description:
The proposed project is to create an integrated Comprehensive Health Campus to encompass an
expanded Oneida Community Health Center, would include the relocation of Employee Health
Nursing, Health Promotions and Oneida Behavioral Health Services to the main campus.
Additionally, the existing facility will require interior renovations. The Integrated Campus will be a
hub of community well-being and associated resources.
(see page 7 of CDC Approval Package)
Management/Business Plan:
The proposed project will not change or impact the current management structure.
The business plan indicates that the expansion of clinical services for the Health Division would
result in a projected operating loss between $5-6 million by year four, assuming that the tribe
finances the project’s debt service requirements separately. OCHD anticipates that it will be able to
utilize deferred revenue funds to address the deficit until normalization can be achieved.
(see page 8 of CDC Approval Package)
Site Selection:
The Integrated Campus will be developed on the current Health Center property in Oneida.
(see page 10 of CDC Approval Package)
Project Budget Estimate: (also see page 11 of CDC Approval Package)
Soft & Misc. Costs:

$8,559,000

Construction:
Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FFE):

$96,438,000
$6,158,000

Contingency:

$11,116,000
Total (rounded):

$122,271,000

Financial Plan:
It is proposed to fund this project through the tribal CIP Budget. As the project is a very large
capital cost, it is assumed the required funding would be financed.
The annual loan payment of the borrowed capital costs can be covered by using OCHD revenue
sources, with no tribal contribution required.
(see page 12 of CDC Approval Package)
Communication Plan:
The standard process will be used for communicating the project status to the community.

Needs Assessment and Project Justification
A. Introduction:
The Oneida Nation has provided healthcare services for its members for nearly 50 years
within various facilities, a majority of which are provided by the Health Division, whose
mission is to provide the highest quality, holistic healthcare to improve the health and
wellness of OUR Oneida Community. Since the opening of the current Health Center in
2002, the demand for healthcare services has steadily increased as the community
continues to grow.
The proposed project is to create an integrated Comprehensive Health Campus to
encompass an expanded Oneida Community Health Center, would include the relocation
of Employee Health Nursing, Health Promotions and Oneida Behavioral Health Services
to the main campus. The Integrated Campus will be a hub of community well-being and
associated resources. This will enhance our ability to provide the highest quality, holistic
health care to ensure the wellness of our Oneida Community. Expansion of the existing
Oneida Community Health Center site plays a critical role in the plan to maintain and
improve patient health care for the Oneida Community.
B. Present Facilities:
A majority of the Health Division services are positioned within the Oneida Community
Health Center facility located in Oneida. This facility encompasses a variety of
ambulatory, ancillary and preventative services. Additionally, Employee Health Nursing,
Health Promotions and Behavioral Health services are part of the Health Division, these
services and programs are all located at off-site satellite facilities located near Green Bay.
C. Problem:
The Health Division has experienced significant growth in patients served and services
offered, which has resulted in space constraints in various departments of the Health
Division. The clinical departments are undersized to support future growth and will need
to be expanded in order to accommodate services and consolidation of off-campus
departments like Employee Health Nursing, Health Promotion, and Oneida Behavioral
Health Services.
These challenges include the following:
1. Access to quality care across the Division
2. Long wait times for appointments
3. Lack of sufficient space for exams, home health care services, offices, and
operations
4. Maximizing the ability to generate revenue with limited space for providers
5. Disjointed locations of health care service
6. Continuity of care
7. Outdated and inadequate physical space for delivery of quality care
8. Lack of staffing

Business Plan
A. The Business Plan is included in the Appendix of this document.
B. A summary of the operation costs noted in the Business Plan are:
1. The financial analysis indicates that the expansion of clinical services for the
Health Division would result in a projected operating loss between $5,000,000
and $6,000,000 by fiscal year 2027, assuming that the tribe finances the project’s
debt service requirements separately. OCHD anticipates that it will be able to
utilize deferred revenue funds to address the deficit until normalization can be
achieved. These results preliminarily indicate that additional revenue streams or
ongoing supplemental funding would be required to ensure the operational
sustainability of the Health Division, but OCHD leadership has indicated the
ability to internally compensate for this loss by utilizing deferred revenue funds
until operations can be normalized.
2. However, this projection conservatively assumes that the IHS self-governance
allocation (i.e., the IHS Annual Funding Agreement and OCHD’s Section 105(L)
lease income) will only slightly increase throughout the projection period, despite
the projected growth in square footage, staffing, and operational costs anticipated
as a result of the proposed project, which ultimately determines funding.
a) For reference: the Section 105(L) lease income increased by 7.74% for
FY23 over FY22, and 7.41% for FY24 over FY23.
C. Project’s capital cost debt service analysis is denoted in in this document under VIII.
Financial Plan.

III. Management Plan
A. Management: The proposed project will not change or impact the current management
structure.

B. Organizational Chart:

C. Staffing, Requestor: Initially, current staffing will not change as a result of this project.
However, as the program offerings grow, new staff is expected to grow to manage those
programs. Those positions will be requested, as the need arises, through the normal HRD
processes.
D. Staffing, Service Departments: The tribal service departments that are impacted by this
project include the following. Their need for additional staffing due to this project is
noted:
1.
2.
3.
4.
IV.

DPW - Facilities (1- additional position needed)
DPW - Groundskeeping (no additional position(s) needed)
DPW - Custodial (4- additional position(s) needed)
DTS (no additional position(s) needed)

Facility Concept and Space Requirements
A. The proposed building expansion will consist of approximately 148,500 square feet,
which includes a 51,000 square foot second story “white box” for future growth of
healthcare services. Additionally, the existing facility will require approximately 44,000
square feet of interior renovations.
B. The spaces to be included are as defined in the Seven Generations A+E, Departmental
Space Program included within the Wipfli Business Plan. See Appendix.
C. Employee Health Nursing (EHN), Health Promotions and Behavioral Health will

G:\ENG\Projects\09-011 OHCD Integrated Campus\CIP\09-011 CDC Approval Package.docx

CDC #09-011
transition to this new integrated campus, which will create unoccupied space within the
existing EHN and Social Services buildings. The Facilities Management Team (FMT) is
evaluating potential options for use of the vacated space and will present options to
management for consideration/ approval.
1. At this time, it is anticipated that the disposition of the vacated spaces will be:
a) The EHN facility would be decommissioned, and the space made
available for lease to a non-organizational entity.
b) The Health Promotions and Behavioral Health space within the Social
Services building would be vacated and reassigned to organizational
entities.

D. Consistent with the Oneida Design Standards, it is our intention to utilize sustainable
design principals on this project. Meaning, we will design, construct, and operate the
building to minimize negative impacts to the natural environment and health, while
optimizing long-term costs.
V.

Site Selection Criteria
A. The Integrated Campus will be developed on the current Health Center property located
at 525 Airport Drive, Oneida, WI 54155. The parcel is approximately 24 acres.

VI.

Environmental
A. An Environmental Assessment may be initiated once the project has been approved and
the design is at a stage where there is sufficient information to determine if an assessment
is required.

VII. Budget Estimate
A. The Project Budget Estimate follows:

VIII. Financial Plan
A. It is proposed to fund this project through the tribal CIP Budget. As the project is a very
large capital cost, it is assumed the required funding would be financed, see Project
Financing Analysis in the Appendix. The breakdown of the financing would be as
follows:
Budget Estimate
Available Funding
Financed Amount
$ 122,271,000
$ 41,107,978
$ 81,163,022

1. Financing this amount with a USDA Loan at 3.70% for 20 years would have an
annual loan payment of $ 5,749,161.39. The annual loan payment can be covered
by the OCHD using Section 105(L) Lease and Third-Party Revenue, with no
tribal contribution required.
B. There are various sources of Self-Governance Funding that could be used for portions of
the project. These sources include:
1.
2.
3.
4.

ARPA – Lost Reimbursement
ARPA – Maintenance & Improvement, Leasing, Construction & Purchasing
105(L) Lease Funds
Third Party/Deferred Health Revenue

C. Using the Self-Governance Funding for the project has various impacts and restrictions as
detailed in a memo from the Office of Self-Governance, see Appendix. The Office of
Self-Governance recommends that the Nation does not use these funds towards the
construction costs of the project but use for non-construction costs (soft costs and FF&E)
is recommended.
D. The Project Team has been researching possible funding opportunities for the project and
has identified the following potentials:
1.
2.
3.
4.

IHS Self-Governance Funding
IHS Joint Venture Construction Program
USDA Community Facilities Direct Loan & Grant Program

Project #09-011 OCHD Integrated Campus

Section 1. Executive Summary
The Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD, or the “Health Division”) oversees the delivery of healthcare
services to the Oneida Nation and other eligible beneficiaries. Since the construction of the current location of the
Oneida Community Health Center (the “Health Center”) in 2002, the Health Division has experienced significant
growth in patients served and services offered, including moving Oneida Behavioral Health Services under the
Health Division in 2004, which has resulted in space constraints in various departments of the Health Division. As a
result, OCHD leadership is proposing the expansion of the existing Health Center campus to create an Integrated
Comprehensive Health Campus, which would encompass an expanded Health Center to include the relocation of
Employee Health Nursing, Health Promotion, and Oneida Behavioral Health Services to the main campus. The goal
of this project is to improve health outcomes for the people of the Oneida Nation by facilitating better access to
healthcare services and providing patients with a cohesive, integrated healthcare experience.
Wipfli LLP (Wipfli) and Seven Generations Architecture + Engineering, LLC (“7GAE”) were engaged by OCHD in 2022
to analyze current and future demand for healthcare services in the community served by OCHD, the facilities
needed to support growth needs, and determine the impact such changes could have on OCHD’s financial position.
The results of these analyses project a significant shortage of primary care, vision, dental, and behavioral health
providers, with the dental services experiencing the most significant provider shortage and access barriers. Based
on interviews conducted with OCHD leadership, the Health Division has historically experienced challenges
recruiting providers to address access issues due to insufficient physical space to house additional providers;
provider recruitment challenges stemming from compensation standards that are below regional benchmarks; and
provider turnover. While OCHD has taken preliminary steps to address access issues 2 and 3, growth in the Health
Center’s physical space is strongly recommended to achieve desired recruitment and patient access goals.
Recruitment of additional providers and expansion of facilities will allow the Health Division to serve up to 16,000+
patients (approximately 47,500 additional patient visits served) on an annual basis, which will significantly increase
access to care and provide patients with a cohesive, integrated healthcare experience.
After multiple iterations of the design, OCHD leadership decided on a concept that collocates all services into a onestory 96,000 gross square foot campus, plus approximately 51,000 square feet of shell space. The total project cost
is estimated to be between $96,000,000 and $156,000,000 based on the escalation of construction costs and “soft”
costs. The financial analysis 1 indicates that the expansion of clinical services for the Health Division would result in
a projected operating loss between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 by fiscal year 2027, assuming that the tribe finances
the project’s debt service requirements. OCHD anticipates that it will be able to utilize carry-over funds to address
the deficit until normalization can be achieved.
Further detail regarding the project goals, impact of the project on community health needs, market demand
analysis, financial analysis, the preliminary space programming and design, as well as risk factors and sensitive
assumptions that may materially impact the findings described herein are detailed in this business plan, as well as
in supplementary appendices that describe the underlying assumptions and methodology of each analysis in detail.

Section 2. Project Description and Goals
Project objectives and goals
The Oneida Nation has provided healthcare services for its members for nearly 50 years. The mission of the Health
Division, which was instated in 2002, is to provide the highest quality, holistic healthcare to improve the health and
wellness of the Oneida Community. The Health Division currently provides healthcare services through multiple
facilities: the Health Center, the Anna John Resident Centered Care Community, Oneida Behavioral Health Services,
and Employee Health Nursing and Health Promotions. Since the opening of the current Health Center site in 2002,
the demand for healthcare services has steadily increased as the community continues to grow. Lack of space has
created complex challenges in providing patient care services across the Health Division.
In order to meet the goals and objectives identified by project stakeholders, Health Division leadership has
identified the need to develop and fund a campus expansion project to create an Integrated Comprehensive Health
Campus, which encompasses an expanded Health Center that includes relocation of Employee Health Nursing,
Health Promotion, and Oneida Behavioral Health Services to the main campus.
The objectives of the Integrated Comprehensive Health Campus project are as follows:
• To improve access to quality care across the OCHD by hiring additional providers to meet the needs of the
community;
• To expand facilities to provide sufficient clinical and non-clinical/support space for current operations and future
growth; and
• To maintain continuity of care across all services within OCHD by expanding facilities to support consolidation of
all departments onto a single campus

to support future growth in services. OCHD leadership plans to recruit additional providers, which forms the basis
of the financial analysis and future facility needs described herein. Recruitment of these providers and expansion
of facilities will allow the Health Center to serve the complete healthcare needs for up to 16,000+ patients on an
annual basis (approximately 47,500 additional patient visits served across all service lines, or 55% growth from
current volumes), which will significantly increase access to care and provide patients with a cohesive, integrated
healthcare experience that improves health outcomes.

Section 3. Summary of Market and Financial Results
Summary of Significant Market Demand Findings
The community served by OCHD includes Oneida tribal community members, employees of the Oneida Nation, and
all other eligible Native Americans as defined by the Indian Health Service and the Oneida Nation. Historically,
approximately 75% of the 12-13,000 patients currently served by OCHD align as members of the Oneida Nation and
between 18-20% of patients that are members of other tribes. Demographic projections indicate an overall young
but aging population base, which will organically increase the demand for healthcare over the next 5-10 years.
Of the estimated 16,500 total members of the Oneida Nation, approximately 11,000 currently live in Brown and
Outagamie Counties, with OCHD historically serving between 90-95% of these residents on an annual basis for
some degree of their healthcare needs. However, the Health Division reports that lack of space has prevented
OCHD from recruiting additional providers to meet the needs of the community it serves, resulting in fewer patients
accessing certain healthcare services, like behavioral health, vision, and dental services (approximately 2,000,
2,700, and 7,000 annual patients served, respectively), compared to other services, like laboratory and pharmacy
services (approximately 12,000 and 15,000 annual patients served, respectively).
According to the Indian Health Service (“IHS”), the American Indian and Alaska Native people have historically
experienced poorer health outcomes and higher rates of mortality, resulting in a higher need for healthcare
services and providers compared to other population cohorts. Provider supply and demand 2 is estimated for
primary care, vision, dental, specialty, and behavioral health based on current need, and 2027-projected need
utilizing the IHS Resource Requirements Methodology under two future growth scenarios: one conservative
scenario assuming the Health Division grows the number of patients it serves to 14,000 total patients, and one
more aggressive scenario that assumes growth to 16,000 total patients (100% of Oneida Nation served in Brown
and Outagamie counties).

The analysis indicates a significant shortage of all provider types based on current patient capture levels which,
according to key stakeholder interviews, is resulting in long wait times to get an appointment scheduled, and
patients of the Health Division not receiving needed healthcare services or going elsewhere to receive services.
Provider shortages will become further exacerbated if the Health Division were to serve the health needs of the
entire Oneida Nation (up to 16,000 active patients).
