Current Request On December 13, 2023, Safe Shelter Inc. Requested a $35,000 donation to maintain operations for the homeless shelter. The following is the Business Committee motion on the request. Motion by the Business Committee to direct Justin Nishimoto, Business Analyst to draft a resolution for $35,000 of the Economic Development, Diversification, and Community Development fund to be donated to the Safe Shelter with the review and recommendation to be submitted for the business committee meeting on January 10th, 2024. The donation is to be used for operational expenses for the 2024 year. Findings after review The information supplied by Safe Shelter Inc., identifies operational expenses below: • $27,571.23 for calendar year 2023 amount for utilities (electric and gas) Public Packet • 50 of 216 $10,000 for building liability insurance per year Safe Shelter Inc. has identified $37,571.23 for operational expenses for the past year and the $35,000 will cover for this upcoming year for operational expenses. The Guiding Documents utilized to determine the use of the EDDCD funds include the Broad Goals and the Comprehensive Plan Elements which have the following housing related items: ➢ Housing- We want Tribal members of all income levels and family sizes to be given the opportunity for affordable housing by filling vacant homes and meeting all housing needs by fully funding existing and future programs by the end of this term to give them a feeling of security. ➢ Social Wellness-Ensure overall wellness for latiksa shu ha tsi Niyole lotikst^ hoku ha (children as far as the old people) ➢ Housing- Provide a variety of housing opportunities to improve social outcomes and wellness. In Closing The requested $35,000 from the EDDCD fund for Safe Shelter operations is an appropriated use of the fund. Public Packet 51 of 216 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov Statement of Effect Approval of Use of Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Funds for a Donation of $35,000 to the Safe Shelter, Inc Summary The resolution approves an allocation of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) from the Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Funds for the purpose of a donation to Safe Shelter, Inc. to continue operations. Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: December 29, 2023 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The Oneida Business Committee has adopted resolutions which set aside funds disbursed from corporations to the Nation in an Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development fund (“the Fund”) and describes the process for accessing those funds. [Resolutions BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, BC-01-23-19-C, BC-01-23-19-D, and BC-0526-21-B]. When a request to utilize monies from the Fund is received, the Review Team, comprised of the Strategic Planner, Business Analyst, and the Budget Analyst, review the request for use of the Fund and determines if the proposed use is consistent with the Fund. The Review Team is then required to provide a written recommendation to the Oneida Business Committee regarding whether to authorize the allocation from the Fund to a specific project identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation. The Oneida Business Committee is then responsible for authorizing use of the Fund by a resolution clearly identifying the amount of funds authorized and purpose of the funds, which may be identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation, and the employee responsible for authorizing expenditures of the authorized amount. Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee would be approving an allocation of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) from the Economic Development, Diversification and Community Development Funds for the purpose of a donation to Safe Shelter, Inc. to continue operations. This resolution provides that the donation to Safe Shelter, Inc. is not intended to be used for salaries or related expenses. Utilizing the Fund for this purpose is aligned with the Oneida Business Committee Broad Goals and approved Comprehensive Plan Elements related to housing. Executive Director of the Safe Shelter Inc., Pearl Webster, is identified as the responsible employees for this allocation of funding. This resolution does not directly provide a contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation – but this funding could be tracked through the resolution number. Conclusion Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

BC resolution # 09-13-23-F, Oneida Business Committee 2023-2026 Term Assignment to Standing Committees, was adopted assigning three (3) BC members to the Audit Committee rather than four (4). The BC also took the following action: Motion by Lisa Liggins to direct the Legislative Operating Committee to review the Audit Committee bylaws dated December 14, 2022, specifically Section 14.b.1.A. that prohibits the Treasurer from serving on the Audit Committee and determine if amendments are appropriate, seconded by Jennifer Webster.
