Timeline: Income Based Rental Program Rule Change
• August 28, 2024 - OBC Meeting: a motion carried that the CEO facilitate a work team
meant to further research and conclude how to exclude GWA toward rents with the
Income Based Rental Program.
• September 10, 2024 -First CEO GWA Work Team meeting.

• January 13, 2025 - After extensive research of federal regulations and consult with Office
of Native American Programs (ONAP), it was concluded the best way to handle GWA was
to include it when determining Minimum Income Requirements and exclude it when
calculating rent.
• December 23, 2025 - In working with the Oneida Law Office, CHD received the first draft
of rule revisions.

3

• February/March 2026 – CHD provided feedback and input to the DRAFT after several
meetings with staff.

Public Packet

142 of 184

Moving Forward
Income Based Rental Program will move forward
with two rule changes.
1. Language to count GWA as income for
meeting Minimum Income Requirement and
exclude GWA when calculating rents.
2. Language that will make all residential
common corridor buildings smoke free.
• There are other changes needed to the rule,
yet language is not finalized.

Public Meeting - CHD has set a Public Meeting
date for July 14, 2026. As required by Rulemaking,
the flyer will submited to the Kalihwisaks for June
30, 2026, publication.

Applying Rent Credits
• Not all accounts will receive a rent credit. Accounts subject to Ceiling
Rent (Maximum) and Flat Rate Rent models of the Income Based Rental
Program may not be impacted by the removal of GWA from the entire
household hold income used to calculate rents.
• The retroactive date for rent credits will be January 1, 2025.

• Rent credits are a credit on the account, NOT a cash pay out.
• Each individual tenant account (around 340) will be gone through to
determine the rent value impact of GWA and evaluate which set of
calculation variables are applicable to that account.
5

Public Packet

144 of 184

GWARelated Rent Credit Calculation Variables
• Household composition changes — assessing how many households
had changes that would include or exclude GWA payments
• GWA Tier transitions — reviewing how many households moved
between:
• Tier 1- Ages18+ ($1,500)
• Tier 2 – Ages 62+ ($3,400)

• Tier 3 – Ages 70+ ($4,200.54)
• Move-outs and evictions —households no longer in the program will
NOT receive rent credit.

• Ceiling Rent (Maximum) and Flat Rate Rent – verifying accounts where
the exclusion of GWA does not result in a change in rent rate.
6

Public Packet

145 of 184

Summary/Recap
• Two changes to the Income-Based Rental Program Rule are
being advanced:
o GWA income clarification — GWA will count toward meeting the
Minimum Income Requirement but will be excluded when calculating
rent

IGSA Cover Letter Text_DRAFT_Rev0.docx

Chairman Hill,
The following is a follow-up to our discussion last week regarding the Fort Sill opportunity.
Overview
I wanted to follow up on our recent discussion with the U.S. Army at Fort Sill regarding a
potential Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) between the Army and the
Oneida Nation.
My team and I met with leadership at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, and the discussion was very
productive.
The Army expressed strong interest in partnering specifically with the Oneida Nation
through an IGSA structure.
What the Army Is Looking For
The Army is actively seeking to partner with a Tribal Nation that has the capability to
perform engineering and construction services.
As part of this process, I recently briefed the Army on OESC’s capabilities, and
they indicated we are the strongest fit among the entities they evaluated.
After reviewing several tribes, the Army has identified the Oneida Nation as its preferred
partner.
They have also made it clear that, if this moves forward, they would expect OESC to
perform the work on behalf of the Nation.
What an IGSA Means
The agreement would be executed between the U.S. Army and the Oneida Nation, not
directly with OESC.
The Nation would hold the agreement, with OESC performing the work.
The Oneida Nation would invoice the Army, and the work would then flow through to
OESC entities for execution.
Key considerations:
This structure allows the Nation to operate under its own procurement rules rather than
federal procurement regulations (FAR).
The IGSA is not tied to the small business or 8(a) programs.
Scope & Scale of the Opportunity
The initial scope includes:
Construction services
Engineering services
Professional and technical support
The Army is viewing this as a long-term partnership:

Public Packet

149 of 184

Year 1: Focus on Fort Sill
Year 2: Expansion to Army installations in the Central U.S.
Year 3 and beyond: Potential nationwide rollout
For context:
A similar model currently in use generates tens of millions of dollars annually
This would represent the first IGSA of this type between the U.S. Army and a Tribal
Nation
Why This Matters for the Oneida Nation
Establishes a direct government-to-government relationship with the U.S. Army
Positions the Oneida Nation as a national leader among Tribal Nations
Creates opportunities for:
National visibility
Potential recognition at a national level (the Army has indicated interest in
publicizing this effort)
Inclusion of Oneida veterans in any formal announcement or related ceremony
Current Status
The IGSA language is currently being drafted by Fort Sill DPW and Army Headquarters
(IMCOM)
We are supporting the Army with pricing and supporting documentation
The Army will review our submission and determine whether to proceed with the
agreement
Requested Action
At this stage, I am requesting your support to:
Sign a letter of interest on Oneida Nation letterhead (see attached) this will need
to be cut and paste onto Oneida Letterhead) Please email back to me.
Important:
This letter does not commit the Tribe to the agreement
It simply allows the Army to continue evaluating the Oneida Nation as its partner
If the Army elects to move forward:
They will provide a draft IGSA
We will bring that forward for full review and discussion prior to any commitment
Risk and Control
We will not proceed with any agreement unless:
The terms are fully understood
The Tribe is comfortable with the structure and obligations
This remains an early-stage opportunity, and no commitments have been made or
finalized
In Closing
This is a unique opportunity, as the Army has not previously executed an IGSA with a
Tribal Nation for engineering and construction services

Public Packet

150 of 184
While still in the early stages, it has the potential to be both economically meaningful
and strategically important for the Oneida Nation
I wanted to bring this forward early, obtain your input, and ensure we proceed in a way
that aligns with the Tribe’s priorities

construction, engineering, and project management services. Work is organized across five core
service areas:

Together, these service lines position OESC as a diversified, vertically integrated organization
capable of delivering complex, end-to-end solutions across multiple sectors.

b. Alternative Overview of the Corporations Current
Market Position.
OESC operates in a competitive and evolving Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)
marketplace. Competition is driven by past performance, reputation, pricing, geographic reach,
access to skilled personnel, and strong agency relationships.

Public Packet

169 of 184

OESC’s diversified subsidiary structure allows it to compete across full-and-open and
socioeconomic procurement environments. Three of the five highest-spending federal agencies
awarding non-competitive contracts are existing OESC clients, reflecting strong technical
capability and performance history.

c. Strategy for Enhancing Market Value and Competitive
Position
OESC builds on long-standing client relationships and contract vehicles established across the
enterprise. Growth focuses on core service areas while remaining selective in entering new
markets, clients, and contract types. Overlapping North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS ) codes allow flexibility and collaboration while maintaining accountability within each
subsidiary.

d. Comparison of OESC’s Performance and Position
Relative to Keu Competitors
OESC competes with small businesses, Alaska Native Corporations, tribally owned businesses,
Native Hawaiian Organizations, and other socioeconomic firms. Competition also includes
full-and-open procurements. Typical competitors include environmental firms under NAICS
562910 and transportation engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI Department of Transportation.

e. Summary of Recent Developments in the Market and
Business Development
The federal market faces heightened oversight and uncertainty. SBA enforcement activity has
increased across the 8(a) program, with over 1,000 firms suspended in January 2026. The 8(a)
program remains under review, slowing some awards. Department of Defense (DoD) sole-source
awards over $20 million are now subject to increased scrutiny.
On May 7th, 2026, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a “Letter of Intent to
Terminate “Oneida Environmental LLC”, following notification to the Government on or about
January 6, 2026 of OE’s intent to discontinue performance on the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) contracts.

Public Packet

170 of 184

This action was triggered by Oneida Environmental (OE) withdrawal from select ICE contracts, as
directed by the Oneida Business Committee through Resolution #01-02-26-B (dated December
30, 2025).
As a result, Oneida Environmental has been suspended from the 8(a) program and is no longer
eligible to receive new 8(a) awards. OESC anticipates an approximate 15% revenue reduction over
the next 6–12 months and is actively working to mitigate the impact.

f. Primary goals, targets, and progress
OESC’s primary goal remains sustainable growth aligned with client mission needs. Target clients
include DoD agencies, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bureau of Indian Affairs, WI DOT,
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District, and the Oneida Nation. Growth efforts include expanded
services at existing clients, new geographic markets, municipalities, and other Tribal Nations.

Public Packet

171 of 184

Implications of Strategic Impact
•
•
•

Slower pace of new work hitting the market
More companies chasing fewer opportunities
Longer timelines and tighter pricing across the board

h. Medium- and Long-Term Outlook and Sustainability
Overall
•

Our sustainability comes down to doing good work, keeping strong relationships, and
staying diversified so we’re not dependent on any one client or market

Medium Term (2–5 years)
•
•
•
•
•

Growth with existing clients and repeat work
Expanding into related services where we already have experience
Selective geographic growth (going where it makes sense, not everywhere)
Continued focus on business development and bringing in the right talent
Leveraging strong partners and joint ventures to win more work

Long Term (5+ years)
•
•
•
•

Steady, manageable growth with our core customers
Staying flexible as funding and priorities change
Competing well on both price and overall value
Continued focus on reputation, relationships, and smart teaming strategies

i. Market growth Trends and Key Sources of Expansion
Key Areas of Opportunity for Strategic Growth
•
•
•
•

More work coming through competitive bids and key contract programs
Our Oneida–Leidos partnership helps us get in more doors
Agencies want faster, simpler buys, we’re well positioned for that
Tribal advantages still help us move quicker and stay flexible

Public Packet

172 of 184

Key Drivers of Our Growth
•
•
•

We’ve grown mostly by doing good work and getting repeat business
The Oneida name is gaining recognition and trust
Continued demand in environmental work (like PFAS) and core engineering

Current Strategic Positioning within the Market
•
•
•

Leaner: Keeping costs down so we stay competitive
Agile: Able to pivot quickly as opportunities shift
Diversified: Partnering with strong firms (Leidos, Stantec, Pond) to expand reach

Looking Back: Accomplishments in FY-2025
OYLI had a total of $131,888.13 in our Checking/Savings accounts at the end of the 2nd quarter. The full amount of both OYLI
checking and savings accounts are currently unrestricted funds. OYLI continues to assist entities with fundraising and charges
a 5% administrative fee per transaction. These are monies that can be used at the Board’s discretion in meeting the mission of
OYLI, including board stipends. OYLI is continues to do organizational planning and revisioning when possible. With a limited
Board and fulltime work status, it can be difficult to hold a meeting, especially these past few months due to extenuating
circumstances.

Looking Forward: Goals/Announcements for FY-2026
OYLI Executive Manager position is has been revisited due to necessary revisions and will be finalized at the next meeting. The
position will then be posted as part-time position in order to spread the position funding over a few years vs 1 year. The
Board’s decision to focus on its initial purpose of providing grants/sponsorships to youth for leadership development has
taken precedence and the filling of this position will help with that endeavor. OYLI’s development of a capital campaign to
fundraise for organizational support would be at the direction of the new Exec. Manager. The Board has been recruiting for
the vacant board positions and has put an on-going advertisement in the Kalihwisaks. The Board has been waiting for at least
6 members before selecting new fulltime Officers, however we cannot get any applicants. We are also currently working with
DTS on updating our website and social media. The current Interim Executive Manager will be retiring soon, but will take on
the current responsibilities until the position can be filled.

Dividends
No dividends paid to shareholders.

Meetings
Held every 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Stipend
$100 stipend per meeting.
