Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Reached out to the Election Board to inquire about how we could assist in the process of elections in Milwaukee. We
would like to have people in Milwaukee serve as alternates on the Election board, saving the cost of lodging and
mileage. We are waiting to hear back from Vicki Cornelius, she was going to bring it up at the Election Board meeting
and let us know when it gets closer to an election.

Impact:
Even though the voter turnout is lower in Milwaukee than in Oneida, there is still a significant amount of voters that
come out to vote, and there are still Oneidas that are passionate about their right to vote from Milwaukee. The
election turnouts still affect their livelihood and their families. The SEOTS board should be making these connections
on how we can ease and assist this process. Also, thinking about how to increase voter turnout.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
We have updated our Bylaws again based off of edits made. We are continuing to work through this process.

Impact:
In the process we are learning about Oneida government and the laws in place.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
We reviewed the SEOTS strategic plan with Mark, the director of SEOTS in October. Board members expressed
themselves on how they think the board can support SEOTS strategic plan and brainstormed goals.
Impact:
Our goals are supporting SEOTS services through connections to Oneida services and Milwaukee services.

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long-term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected

SEOTS offers many opportunities to increase cultural competency. During the first quarter, SEOTS offered 11
craft classes covering 4 different crafts, 3 culture classes, 1 film screening on Haudenosaunee culture, and 10
Oneida language classes, 1 trip to Oneida Harvest Fest, and 1 Tribe to the Oneida History Department for

Accomplishments
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:

Worked on first draft of the bylaws.

Impact:
Supports S.M.A.R.T. Goal #1, Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Since the majority of the content of the bylaws were embedded within the School Board Policies and Procedures, this
will allow the Board to revise the format the School Board Policies and Procedures for easier review/revision going
forward.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:

Assisted Johnson‐O'Malley (JOM) Program in holding needed meetings

Impact:
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.b., “Customers for the School Board would include the students,
school personnel, parents and community…There are parent activities planned for the school year, such as OPEN
HOUSE in August; Harvest Dinner in October; Conferences twice a year; Maple Lunch in spring.”
JOM program is having issues getting participation/holding meetings; JOM now holds their meeting in
conjunction with the ONSB meeting to address their needs.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:

Met with Planning regarding High School CIP Project in December

Impact:
Doesn’t support a specific Strategic Perspective/Objective or S.M.A.R.T. goal.
The High School CIP Project has been on‐going for many years. It appears to have been set aside for some time, but
this year, Planning is picking the CIP Project back up and we hope to see movement to ensure the High School has a
facility that meets the needs of the students and is financially feasible.

Goals
LONG‐TERM GOAL #1
Increase the communication to not only students but to the community, as well.
Supports Strategic Perspectives/Objectives 9.c. “Internal processes include the communication with parents for
upcoming events on the Facebook page. The website is being updated to be more customer friendly. The NASIS
parent portal will be utilized more by parents with training at OPEN HOUSE and also with requests from parents
for an account.”
Update on Goal:
Unchanged from last report ‐ The Oneida Nation School System has been utilizing Facebook, the school’s voice
messaging system, school flyers, parent emails, and school marquee. Many teachers utilize a classroom management

Public Packet

100 of 161

tool called Class Dojo to retain consistent communication with families. This application allows teachers to quickly
send messages to parents/guardians.
With the limited number of members on the Board, quorum has been an issue and work on long‐term goals has
stalled.

LONG‐TERM GOAL #2
Establish quarterly community/school meetings or input mechanism
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.d., “…School Board will continue working with Administration on
policy development and seeking community input by holding community meetings.”
Update on Goal:
Unchanged from last report – Last year, the School Board discussed having quarterly community / school meetings to
invite parents/guardians and community members to have less formal meetings to communicate the needs of the
school and parents/guardians.
With the limited number of members on the Board, quorum has been an issue and work on long‐term goals has
stalled.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Finalize the bylaws
Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Update on Goal:
Draft was submitted to LRO for review; currently waiting to receive the review in order to finalize the bylaws and
submit to LOC.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Clarify role in hiring per the 1983 MOA

Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #2, “Participate in training necessary to conduct the duties involved”
Update on Goal:
Received an Oneida Law office opinion regarding stipends for participating in hiring. Have requested Attorney
Harmon‐Curry to provide an opinion regarding the applicability of the BCC law and its impact on the 1983 MOA.

Accomplishments
Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Released Sustain Oneida Community Survey results to the public. Shared raw survey data with Demographer to begin
analysis.

Impact:
Survey results have renewed community conversations. We have seen an increase in dialogue through the Trust
Enrollment Department’s Facebook page as well as other Facebook groups. The survey results and conversations on
social media will help create a theme towards enrollment criteria.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Project Specialist renewed community engagement by presenting general enrollment data and survey results in
public forums.

Impact:
Sharing general enrollment trends educates the community the status of Oneida Nation’s population as well as
creates a sense of transparency with the Trust Enrollment Department. With a better understanding of the
Oneida Nation’s population, the community may develop well‐informed opinions on enrollment criteria,
identity, belonging, and citizenship.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
Reviewed the FY2018 Per Capita & Minors Trust Distribution; highlighted procedural changes for greater
efficiency and established a FY2019 Distribution Timeline which is shared with other departments involved with
the distributions process.
Impact:
The payment administrators had a fresh perspective to note any procedural inefficiencies in the per capita and
Minors Trust distributions. The FY2019 Distribution Timeline serves as a tool for transparency between other Oneida
entities involved in the distributions process. The timeline opened communication between departments to notice
one another if there is a conflict with their internal procedures.

Public Packet

113 of 161

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long‐term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected
quarterly activities.
LONG‐TERM GOAL #1
To understand the membership’s preference on alternative enrollment criteria. We feel this would best be
accomplished through community surveys, analysis of results, and presentations to the community.
By understanding a majority of the membership’s preference, we may be able to present recommended
amendments to the Oneida Nation’s Constitution.
Update on Goal:
We have shared the raw data from the Sustain Oneida Community Survey with the Demographer for their analysis.
We have posted the survey results on the Trust Enrollment website and social media outlets. We are also using the
results as conversation tools for community meetings. The community dialogue has already generated insight to
community preferences.
LONG‐TERM GOAL #2
Establish a communication plan to engage the community on Sustain Oneida efforts which may result in policy
changes that affects membership enrollment applications, per capita distributions, and other services provided
by the Trust Enrollment Department.
Establishing an effective communication plan will make the membership aware of relevant policy changes that
may affect their lives, create positive relations with the Trust Enrollment Department, and hopefully inspire the
membership to think critically of their Oneida identity.
Update on Goal:
Our new Project Specialist has begun meeting with members of the community and other entities on the Community
Survey results and general enrollment data.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
To achieve the demographer’s initial analysis and determine if other forms of analysis is necessary.
The demographer’s analysis is crucial for the membership to understand the population trends and the state of
the Nation’s citizenship.
Update on Goal:
We are currently organizing enrollment data, so that the demographer can project future population trends and the
impact if continuing to use blood quantum. The membership’s raw data will exclude names, social security numbers,
and mask the enrollment numbers to protect the membership’s confidentiality. From the initial analysis we may be
able to identify other areas for analysis such as relocation trends, birth rates, death rates, etc.

QUARTERLY GOAL #2

Public Packet

114 of 161

Establish the appropriate message to the community on how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 may impact the
Minors Trust Distributions.

The Minors Trust Distribution is considered taxable income. It is imperative Minor Trust Beneficiaries
understand they will be taxed when they receive the distribution. How the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 may
impose a greater tax, and why they should consult with a tax professional before submitting their
“Payment/Deferral” form.
Update on Goal:
The Trust Enrollment Department has identified various avenues to engage the community on the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017 i.e. mailers, notices in the Kalihwisaks, social media, and public forums and through the YES program. We
are always open to other platform suggestions. We are also reviewing our ability to adjust the deferral options to
help Minor Trust Beneficiaries avoid excessive taxes. In the meantime, our message needs to be vetted through the
tax attorney on retainer with the Oneida Nation.
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Aside from regular working duties, this next quarter will consist of developing a communication plan to the
community about the new tax implications to the Minors Trust Distribution; hosting community forums to discuss the
Sustain Oneida Community survey and processing the FY2018 Adult Supplemental Per Capita distribution for those
who missed the 9/4/2018 deadline.

Update on Activities:
A conference call has been scheduled with the tax attorney on retainer with the Oneida Nation to establish the
appropriate message on the Minor Trust tax matter. Oneida entities have been identified to the Project Specialist, so
he may provide a presentation of enrollment data and community survey results. The deadline to submit a Late
FY2018 Per Capita form is March 1, 2019.

Budget
Please provide the amount of the entity’s budget, the status of the budget at that quarter, the amount of
each stipend a member may be eligible to receive, how the budget is being utilized by the entity and

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2019
Oneida ESC Group, LLC (OESC), was formed in 2012 as a holding company to house
subsidiaries to do business with the federal government. OESC has four subsidiaries, Oneida
Total Integrated Enterprises (OTIE), Mission Support Services (MS2), Sustainment and
Restoration Services (SRS) and Oneida Engineering Solutions (OES).
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
OESC’s subsidiary limited liability companies focus on contracts issued by the government
agencies for engineering, science and construction work. OESC’s revenue is derived from
the subsidiaries that operate in the full and open market as well as the Small Business
Administration Business Development Markets primarily as 8(a) and Small Business
designated companies.
OESC and its subsidiaries are a highly technical organization providing research
/investigation, design, engineering and project management. Oneida ESC Group operates in

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2019
Sustainment & Restoration Services (SRS) – 8a Graduation date is 2/18/2023.
SRS core competencies include facility investigations, corrective measures
design/implementation, remedial designs/remedial actions, including characterization,
assessment, and cleanup, Wetlands assessment and wetlands restoration design, Brownfields

evaluation, and assessment Engineering design for site development, utility systems, and
facilities Engineering design for wastewater treatment and sewerage systems.
Oneida Engineering Solutions (OES) – OES focuses on performing transportation
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 has been certified as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise
in the State of Wisconsin.
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 operates 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 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 government shutdown has been the longest on record. Fortunately for OESC, the impact
will be mostly felt in delayed revenue. About 80% of our federal customers have an
approved budget; although with the partial government shutdown, some of our customers are
acting cautiously.
The SBA was also affected and could have been an issue if one of our customers wanted to
issue a sole source contract which SBA must approve. We are not aware of any situations
where this was an issue.
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 extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities
geographically 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:
 Meeting performance indicators, including 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.

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, allowing us to 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 concentrate
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.)
The first quarter is typically the slowest period as employees use up any vacation time and
the holiday season takes employees away as well. We continue to respond to Sources Sought
inquiries and the occasional RFP. We have more than $47M in pending proposals, hoping to
win greater than 50%. OES won five construction projects and are currently preparing for
design contract in March 2019. We gained a new customer in Office of the Secretary of
Defense. OTIE has been having success with the Fence to Fence contacts with various
defense bases utilizing SRS. The government approved OTIE’s rates for the large
environmental IDIQ contract awarded fourth quarter of 2018.

k. Summary and status of any pending legal action to which the Corporation is a party
and any relevant government regulation to which the Corporation may be subject.
On September 20, 2018 Mission Support Services filed an arbitration demand against its JV
partner, Belonger Corporation. Belonger failed to provide funds to the JV sufficient to pay its
share of the JV loss on the Building 3200 project. This failure is causing MS2 to fund Belonger’s
share of the loss. The total amount of the demand against Belonger is $614,086. A pre-hearing
conference is scheduled for November 28 and is attended by legal counsel only. MS2 has
attempted to conduct settlement discussions with Belonger, however Belonger is unwilling to
negotiate. MS2 is preparing for arbitration. The hearing will be bifurcated, with liability tried
first. The liability hearing is scheduled for March 14-15, 2019.

Meetings
The CDPC meets every 1st Thursday of the month at 9 a.m. in the Business Committee Conference
Room at the Norbert Hill Center.
Activities Summary
For the 1st quarter of FY19, three regular CDPC meetings were held in October, November, and
December. Two CDPC work sessions were also held, one in October and one December.
Highlights
Cultural Heritage Site & 200 Year Celebration
A sub-committee with representatives from Governmental Services, Environmental, and Internal
Services Divisions have been working together to:
• present options for improving the Cultural Heritage site at Hwy FF and West Mason; and
• present a plan for the Oneida 200-year celebration scheduled for 2023.
In FY18, the CDPC supported a concept which would create a park like setting with options to gradually
expand amenities over several years, at the Cultural Heritage site. 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.
This quarter, the sub-committee presented a report
with project timelines, tasks, approvals needed,
and concept plan drawings for various proposed
projects. Some of the proposed projects include: a
trails system, picnic area, signage, a playground, and amphitheater. The sub-committee has been

requested to provide recommendations on messaging for the project and anticipated budget needs for
the next CDPC quarterly update in February.
The Planning Department has been working on gathering community input on the 200-year celebration
from community input sessions and surveys.
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 conceptual plans for development of the Upper Oneida area 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 includes transportation related improvements.
This quarter, the Planning Department worked with the county on an agreement for the transportation
related site improvements. This agreement has been approved and the Planning Department will work
with the county on the design phase of the project. Updates on this project are provided monthly to the
CDPC.
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 sub-team reports monthly to the CDPC on hemp research and developments on federal, tribal, and
state legislation.
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 initial request for this project was to provide a centrally located multi-purpose health, fitness, and
recreation complex to support the recreational needs of the Oneida Community. Through a series of
discussions, the CDPC determined the focus should first be on whether or not current facilities and
programs could meet the needs of the community or if a physical new complex is needed. This quarter,
a concept paper was reviewed by the CDPC and 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 / task force 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. Updates are given to the CDPC on a monthly basis and the next steps
for the team are to create a team charter, discuss a Section 184 loan with Bay Bank, and discuss a tax
credit project.
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).
Community Food Enterprise Center
A Community Food Enterprise Center would be an expanded facility to teach how to process and
prepare healthy and native food and would serve Oneida Nation members, fresh food producers,
entrepreneurs, and those looking for jobs in the food service industry.
Through a grant, the Internal Services Division Director had a feasibility study done on what a food
center and food hub could look like for Oneida. The BC was invited to an overview presentation in
November and a presentation on the findings was given to the CDPC in January. A team will be
developing a concept paper and presenting to the CDPC in the next quarter.
A centralized food center would be in line with Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything
here to sustain us).
Energy Team
This quarter, the CDPC supported a climate change resolution brought forward by the Energy Team.
The resolution titled “Oneida Nation, Recognizing Climate Change as a long-term threat to Our Core
Values” supports/adopts the Paris agreement, supports the creation of an Oneida Climate Change
Team to develop a strategic climate plan, and supports th
