Motion by Lisa Liggins to accept the memo regarding withholding pay for Councilman Marlon
Skenandore as information, seconded by Jennifer Webster. Motion carried:
Ayes:
Lisa Liggins, Kirby Metoxen, Jennifer Webster, Jameson Wilson
Not Present:
Lawrence Barton, Jonas Hill, Marlon Skenandore
For the record: Secretary Lisa Liggins stated as noted in the memorandum included in the add-on
request, Councilman Skenandore has continued his unexcused absence which began on Monday,
October 13, 2025, through today. As an elected official, in accordance with our oaths of office, it's our
responsibility to act, in the best interest of our tribal members and the Nation. The Oneida Business
Committee has taken action to uphold our responsibilities by adopting BC resolution # 10-22-25-B
which withholds pay when Councilman Skenandore is unexcused.
I think everyone can understand situations arise in our lives where we need time to get back on track;
however, in this situation, there has been complete non-communication since October 13th, nor
attempted contact between Councilman Skenandore and his colleagues. I encourage Councilman
Skenandore to take care of his responsibilities in both his personal life and his oath to the community
and the Oneida Nation. Thank you.
Item XI.B.1. was re-addressed next.

DATE:

December 10, 2025

SUBJECT:

Request to Amend BC Resolution #09-25-24-E, CDC #19-007 Boundary Signage

Respectfully requesting an amendment to BC Resolution #09-25-24-E to extend the project
completion deadline for Boundary Signage project, CDC #19-007 to September 30, 2026.
The team has worked diligently to plan, design, and install three of the six boundary signs
funded by Tribal Contribution Savings. We’ve ran in to delays with local governments and state
agencies and worked through right-of-way and permitting issues. This past week, we’ve
secured all necessary approvals to move forward with the signs.
Currently, we are awaiting an approval to increase the purchase order, and once that is
complete, the signs will enter the production phase and be installed this Spring/Summer, or
when the weather permits. Below is an outline of the signage status.

Business Committee Resolution for Binya Contract

To begin work on the development of a Commerce Structure Project:
To create a new tribal investment enterprise commerce system for the Oneida Nation of
Wisconsin. This new commerce system plan will include initial review, assessment of
current enterprise operations, and redesign recommendations. It will include a plan for
new business acquisitions with a specific sole purpose to generate new and long-term
revenue for the nation at point of maturity in a diverse investment activity. The purpose of
the contract is to include an expert from the industry who possess the knowledge,
experience, and successful history to assist in the development of such structure.
Collaborating with an experienced individual who possess required skills will help minimize
redundant errors, and missteps to deliver a final product within the agreed upon timeline of
9 months.
This process will allow the Nation to track, collect and extrapolate data specific to
Economic Development within the reservation economy and external to the reservation.
I am requesting approval by the Oneida Business Committee to move forward with this
contract. The remaining Tribal Contribution Savings were identified as a viable funding
source.
