OESC’s subsidiaries are supported by OESC with general management and administrative
functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resource management, IT
support, overall management, and marketing, bid and proposal. Below is a summary of OESC
and its subsidiary’s activities.
Narrative Report
a. Explanation of the core of the Corporation’s business practices and market overview

agencies for engineering, science and construction work. OESC’s revenue is derived from

engineering services for governmental agencies (Federal, State and Local). Work is federally
funded and abides by the Brooks Act; requiring selection based on competency,
qualifications and experience. OES is in the process of certifying as a Disadvantage
Business Enterprise in the state of WI.
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 provide similar services offered by
OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance reputation, network, price,
geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel (flexibility).
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 established since 2008.
We constantly evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and
State markets. Each subsidiary would operate based on primary NAICS codes with
secondary NAIC 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, tribally-owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations
(NHOs). Each of these businesses is treated 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
Woman-Owned, HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others.
Finally, Oneida ESC competes in the full and open markets without restrictions.
Typical competitors for OTIE include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees
in NAICS 562910. 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 Whitehouse has expressed an unwillingness to pass a budget unless certain criteria is
met, this could lead to a government shutdown.
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 reasonable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for
OESC is when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission priorities.
Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:
Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, SRS and OES 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 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),
Environmental Protection Agency, WI Department of Transportation, Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewer District and the Oneida Nation.
New target clients include expended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities geographical
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 in order to successfully fulfill outlined strategies
Key elements for success in the OESC model include:
• Key performance indicators include 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 delivery 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 carries additional risk
• Loss of key personnel
• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2018

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 groomed 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 where we can 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
concentrating 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.)

Highlights
Cultural Heritage Site & 200 Year Celebration
Last quarter, a team with representatives from Governmental Services, Environmental, and
Internal Services Divisions worked together to present options for improving the culture
heritage site at Hwy FF and West Mason. The CDPC supported a concept which would create
a park like setting with options to gradually expand amenities over several years. The CDPC
discussed next steps for the team including gathering community input and working with the
Land Commission and Environmental Resource Board, and updating the full Business
Committee on the conventional options for the site.

98 of 119

This quarter, the CDPC approved
incorporating the preparation for a 200 year
celebration in 2023 to recognize the arrival of
Oneidas in Wisconsin. Planning for this
celebration had first been approved by the
OBC in 2013 and a directive was made for
Finance to develop budget beginning in FY15
with a set aside of $10,000 each year for the event.
It was later verified with the Treasurer’s Office that the set aside had not been occurring. A
request was then made to the CDPC to support a set aside funding which could include a
tribute, such as, a monument commemorating the standing stone into the planning of the
Cultural Heritage Site. The CDPC supported the request and the combining of the 200 year
celebration event planning to the Cultural Heritage site planning because the event planning
could incorporate a more permanent tribute to the site. There will now be two planning teams
who will work together, one for the Cultural Heritage site improvements and one for the 200
year celebration event. Team meetings for Cultural Heritage site have been on-going and
team meetings for the 200 year celebration will begin in August.
The CDPC and OBC approved setting aside $50,000 per year for FY19 through FY 2023 for
the 200 year celebration. This amount is in addition to the $50,000 funding supported for
option 1 presented by the Cultural Heritage team for beginning the site preparations.
Both the Cultural Heritage Site improvements and the 200 year celebration fall in line with the
broad goals of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations
and Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us).
Upper Oneida
The CDPC discussed the ideas and opportunities for tourism, incorporating culture, and
discussed the goals and challenges associated with future development of this area. The
conceptual plans have been presented and supported by the CDPC, Land Commission and
Business Committee.
This Planning Department Initiative has a two phased approach which has incorporated
community input, the Oneida Comprehensive Plan, Quality of Life Survey, and Live Sustain
Grow Plan. The first phase of work will begin this year with transportation related items:
 Safety improvements to include sidewalks and crosswalks
 Improvement to County Highway J to include on–street parking, intersection
improvements, and curb-cut access points
 Park and ride parking area for Central Oneida and regional trail system

Currently, the Planning Department is working with the county on an agreement for the
transportation related site improvements. Funding for Phase II will be requested through the
FY19 budget process. Phase II will include non-transportation related items such as design
elements and structures.
Development of the Upper Oneida area will set the foundation for Promoting Positive
Community Relations and Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to
sustain us).
Industrial Hemp
A team is continuing work on a readiness plan and is working on researching and reviewing
developments for a pilot project for 2019.

An industrial hemp pilot project would fall in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020
Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging Tsi>
NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us).
Oneida Wellness Initiative
The CDPC began discussing the prior assessment and research done on an Oneida
Community Recreation Complex. The initial request for this project was for a new complex for
the Oneida Community that would be a state of the art multi-purpose health, fitness, and
recreation complex. Through a series of discussions the CDPC determined the focus should
be on whether or not current facilities and programs could meet the needs of the community or
if a physical new complex is needed. The original project was referred to as the “Oneida
Community Recreation Complex” but is being referred to by the CDPC as the “Oneida
Wellness Initiative” as the work continues on the final outcome. A series of work sessions have
been held and will continue to be held between the CDPC and the Planning Department.
The community outreach on the project falls in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020
Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and the overall project is in line
with the broad goals of Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain
us) and Inspiring Yukwatsistay^a (Our fire, our spirit within each of us).
Small Housing
The CDPC has supported a team of department representatives to continue work on
researching the feasibility of an Oneida Model Housing Project. A model small home would be
a minimum of 750 square feet with the ability to be modified or expanded to 950 square feet.
The team is looking at the overall tribal housing need, financing options, buildable sites, energy
requirements, and construction options. They will also be noting any legislative amendments
which may be needed to the Zoning Law.
A model small housing project would support building and Promoting Positive Community
Relations and a small home initiative would be in line with Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^
(We have everything here to sustain us).
Capital Improvement Plans
The Budget Management and Control Act adopted in 2017 established requirements for
separate Capital Improvement Plans for Government Services and Enterprises.

101 of 119

Last quarter, the CDPC reviewed and provided input on Planning’s recommendations for the
Capital Improvement Plan for Government Services and forwarded to the GTC for
consideration. The plan for Government Services is required to cover a period of five to 10
years and is required to be approved by the General Tribal Council. This item was added to
the GTC agenda for January 28, 2018; March 19, 2018; May 12, 2018; and July 10, 2018.
At the July 10, 2018 meeting, the GTC approved the plan and requested the CIP process be
presented. The CIP will be presented at the special GTC meeting occurring on September
24th.
CDPC Charter
At the beginning of the term, the CDPC continued work from the prior CDPC to update
the CDPC creation documents to more accurately reflect the change in organizational
structures and processes. These changes included identifying specific responsibilities
for the oversight of community development and the oversight of economic
development initiatives.
Since the work began on the charter, an SOP was requested by the BC for processing
economic / business venture requests. At recent BC work sessions, the BC requested
the CDPC charter and the business venture SOP move in conjunction with each other
and include a provision for business venture requests to go to the BC for initial
consideration prior to being considered by the CDPC. These changes have been made
and approved by the CDPC in the 4th quarter and are on the August BC Work Session
agenda.

FY18 3rd Quarter Report

April 1- June 30, 2018
Legislative Operating Committee (LOC)

Executive Summary
The Legislative Operating Committee (LOC) was able to approve five (5) sets of amendments, four (4) Rules, and
one (1) set of bylaws in the third quarter. All ten (10) of these items were later adopted by the Business
Committee. In addition, the LOC hosted a community potluck to discuss the proposed Sanctions & Penalties
Law. The Business Committee took action to dissolve the Personnel Commission in April. The dissolution
resulted in four laws needing emergency amendments; Employee Protection Policy, Military Service Employee
Protection law, Personnel, Policies, and Procedures law, and the Rules of Civil Procedure. Now the LOC is
working to get these amendments permanently adopted. Below is a breakdown of the status of each high
priority item on the LOC’s Active Files List. As high priorities are completed, lower priorities will move up the
active files list.

LOC’s Collaboration & Outreach Goal:
A primary goal of the LOC for this year has been to improve the quality and the quantity of public
participation in the legislative process. In FY17, the average number of people attending public meetings
was four (4). The LOC has developed new ways to communicate with stakeholders and the public
including pot lucks, social media, and early work meetings.
Featured Legislation: Amendments to the Comprehensive Policy Governing Boards, Committees, and
Commissions:
The purpose of this law is to govern the procedures regarding boards, committees and commissions of
the Nation, including appointment and election, creation of bylaws, maintenance of official records, and
compensation. These amendments set new standards for entity bylaws, update reporting requirements,
update the appointment process to increase feedback from entities and BC members, set a procedure
for the creation of new entities, create a standard e-poll process, provide official email addresses for
members of entities, and set a new procedure to set stipend amounts by resolution, among other
changes.
Collaboration and Outreach:
This item is the first piece of legislation in this term where the LOC has focused on improving
collaboration and public outreach. The key success factor was to collaborate early in the process, so that
stakeholders could be part of the decision making. The LOC invited all members of all the boards,
committees, and commissions to two separate work meetings. Twelve of the eighteen boards,
committees, and commissions participated in the meetings and provided useful information and
suggestions for the amendments. These meetings were held early in the process, before the LOC made
policy decisions, and before any legislative drafting occurred. In addition to collecting comments, the
goal of the meetings was to help the boards, committees, and commissions to understand the content
of the law, and to understand proposed changes.
The LOC’s theory was that if the boards, committees, and commissions had a good understanding of
what the amendments would be, the public meeting would result in useful comments and insights.
And that was indeed the case. The public meeting was held on June 21, 2018 and the comment period
ended on June 28, 2018. Thirteen people attended the public meeting, which is more than the average
of four attendees in the last term. The people that attended the public meeting were able to cite the

Page 2 of 5

105 of 119
Legislative Operating Committee FY18 Third Quarter Report

August 1, 2018

language in the draft amendments that they wanted to discuss, and provided focused and substantive
comments for the LOC to consider.
Success Indicator:
The most important success indicator for this effort is the number of comments collected before the
public meeting was held, which is 247. This means that the LOC had 247 comments to use to guide their
policy decisions while the amendments were being drafted. There are three significant outcomes;
1) Boards, committees, and commissions contributed to the policy decisions early.
2) Most of the people that attended the public meeting were already familiar with the proposed
amendments.
3) The comments collected were specific and substantive.
Evaluation:
The LOC is committed to improving collaboration with stakeholders and community members. These
particular amendments are an indication that inviting the right stakeholders to the table early results in
legislation that can be supported by the stakeholders. The LOC will continue to use this method when it
makes sense for specific legislation.

ACTIVITIES SUMMARY
Strategic Goal: Inspiring Yukwatsistay^
Strategy 2: Continue to work with TAP to develop a comprehensive program to support
BC Resolution #05-10-17-C Tribal Action Plan to address alcoholism and other
substance abuse.
The Tribal Action Plan (TAP) team, representing the Tribal Coordinated Committee, has
continued to provide regular updates at the Quality of Life Committee meetings on their
efforts to combat drug and substance abuse problems in the Oneida community. They
have organized sub-teams and worked with internal and external groups to support the
Tribal Action Plan efforts.
The Quality of Life Committee met with the TAP team and discussed the possibility of
partnering with Expedition Recovery, a division of the DarJune Foundation.
Representatives from DarJune and TAP met with the QOL Committee and explained
their mission and goals for helping those needing support with their recovery. In April,

110 of 119
the QOL supported the Tribal Action Plan team’s recommendation to partner with
Darjune in utilizing the Decaster house for a sober living house.
Also in April, the QOL sent a memo to the Assistant CFO on behalf of the Tribal
Coordinating Committee for a feasibility study to be completed on a treatment facility.
This request was in response to the ongoing work being done by the TAP team
regarding a wellness treatment facility and a GTC petition that had been filed.
Moving forward the Tribal Coordinating Steering Committee meetings are scheduled to
occur from 10 am – 12pm immediately after the regular QOL Committee meetings. This
structure will have the QOL Committee focusing on needed action items during the
Quality of Life meeting and then give a better opportunity for the QOL members to
participate in the more detailed discussions of the steering committee.
Exercise at Work Policy
The Wellness Committee representative provided an update to the QOL in April on the
progress of the implementation and participation rates of the Exercise at Work Policy.

REQUESTED ACTION:
