Narrative/Background:

Councilman Marlon Skenandore attended the WI Teen Summit as he was selected to

do a presentation called, The Oneida Nation Immersive Experience. He brought a

team of social dancers from the Oneida high school to assist with the presentation and

showcased an exhibition of the Oneida social dance earth songs.

The theme of the event was, End Domestic Abuse–Revolutionary Acts. This event was

for advocates, survivors and allies. This is the only state led coalition led by social

policy advocates, attorneys, and experts working to support, connect, equip,

empower and lead social change organizations to end domestic abuse. Councilman

Skenandore was able to present the importance of family values, culture and

community of presenting on healthy relationships.

This summit was important to attend because he is co-leading an event this summer

with Vice-Chairman Brandon Yellowbird-Stevens, to host their own youth summit July

12-13, 2025. The event helped him understand the logistics, meeting space, details of

the organizers, networking, listening to speakers and attending breakout sessions.

Here is a highlight link recap of the event. Teen Summit - End Domestic Abuse

Wisconsin

Commission

Oneida Business Committee

From: Mark A. Powless Sr, Oneida Gaming Commission Chairman

Date: 05/20/25

We are seeking approval due to the number of attendees we would like to send and to comply with the

Nation's Travel Policy. The Ganling Commission does budget funds in our h·avel budget to attend these

conferences. There are 3 separate deparhnents/PRT's (OGC/ Admin: 000, License & Investigations: 200,

and Surveillance: 500) and each area has its own budget for h·avel but is all under the same business unit.

This conference will be held July 30 - August 1, 2025, at the Potawatomi Hotel and Casino in Milwaukee,

WI. At this conference regulators from all eleven (11) Native American Tribes of Wisconsin and the State

of Wisconsin's Office of Indian Gaming and Regulatory Compliance have organized since 2006 to

promote communication, share knowledge, and provide support to one another and our gaming

operations.

It also serves as a means of professional learning and development for varying staff levels that cannot be

obtained by only a select few attending and bringing back information. Being more cost-effective staff

will be carpooling to save on the cost associated with mileage expense. Cost per person $418.00 to attend.

The Gaming Commission is respectfully requesting for fifteen (15) employees to attend.

Memorandum

To:

Oneida Business Committee

From:

Tehassi tasi Hill, Chairman

Date:

May 15, 2025

Re:

Washington DC Travel Request – Week of June 2, 2025

Please accept this memorandum as a request to the Business Committee to approve

this epoll request for up to 5 Business Committee members to travel to Washington D.C.

the week of June 2, 2025, for the sole purposes of lobbying on the proposed federal

budget cuts that impact our operations and/or tribal entities.

As you know, the President has released his budget request to Congress (attached) and

there are proposed cuts to tribal programs and agencies that are integral to our current

operations.

In consultation with Intergovernmental Affairs, we are focused on two focus points – budget

reconciliation and annual appropriations bills.

Regarding budget reconciliation, it is expected that the House will come close to finalizing

their first draft at reconciliation by May 23rd. That means we will have full text of the proposal,

and it will either have passed the House, or failed. This gives us the perfect opportunity to go

to Senate Republicans as they prepare their counterproposal, as well as key House

Leadership

For appropriations, Congress is way behind in its annual appropriations process, largely due

to delays in the President sending his full budget request. Trump’s "skinny budget" was

released on May 2, 2025, and the full budget is expected to come out in the next few weeks,

after which appropriators will be working quickly to draft their bills. The skinny budget

proposes massive cuts to tribal programs, so we need to get into Republican offices and

make sure that they are not following through with those cuts, especially to tribal housing

programs, Medicaid and Medicare, etc.

Much of the strategy and messaging for the visit will be determined based on how far

Republicans get in passing their reconciliation bill, but our advocacy will focus on Republicans

both in Wisconsin and our tribal champions like Tom Cole and others. Intergovernmental

Affairs has been working with the organization and tribally chartered corporations to

determine detailed impacts to the programs listed in the President’s budget request to prepare

talking points and collect data/information in advance.

b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market

OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of

Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms that provide similar services to those

offered by OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance, reputation,

network, price, geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel.

Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are

OESC customers.

c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the

market

OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts, and

networks OTIE has established since 2008.

We continuously evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and

State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary

NAICS codes that overlap with the sister companies.

d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and

identification of key competitors within the market

Our competitors include Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native

American Owned, and tribally owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations

(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.

The most significant change has been the comprehensive overhaul of the Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR) through the executive order.

Implementation of a regulatory sunset framework requiring non-statutory rules to expire

within four years; removal of duplicative clauses and unnecessary provisions, and rewriting

of the FAR in plain language to improve accessibility and understanding

Additionally, a shift in defense procurement could be a benefit to OESC as the focus has

shifted to:

New preference for "commercial solutions" in Department of Defense acquisitions

Increased use of Other Transactions Authority (OTA) acquisitions

Streamlined foreign defense sales system with a new "priority list" for allies

We are keeping an eye on the new priorities in federal procurement such as enhanced

emphasis on supply chain resiliency with stricter "Buy American" policies, accelerated

integration of artificial intelligence in federal operations, strengthened cybersecurity

compliance requirements, and expansion of the "rule of two" for small business set-asides

under Multiple Award Contracts. Again, this could be a benefit to OESC operations.

However, there is a significant period of regulatory uncertainty. New requirements for

justifying the absence of commercial solutions in solicitations, increased emphasis on

commercial solutions and private-sector practices, need for contractors to adapt internal

processes and compliance strategies, and greater opportunities for small businesses in federal

contracting. And of course, DOGE and its impacts. Currently, there are no significant

impacts to our current backlog. Some projects have been delayed while our customers seek

clarification and clear directives.

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
