RE: Report on drainage problem in Moore Road, Culbertson RoadGovernment Road and Highway H area.Response due by December 14, 1994

ACTION OF DECEMBER 21, 1994:MOTION BY KATHY HUGHES TO APPROVE THE REPORT ON WATERSHED AND FLOODCONTROL PLANNING AND TO KEEP THIS TOPIC ON THE AGENDA FOR CONTINUINGSTATUS REPORTS EVERY THIR1Y (30) DAYS UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOL VED, SECONDEDBY LORE1TA V. METOXEN, MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.Next report is due by January 18, 1995.

Please be informed that the Planning Department, at my direction has been instructed to seek alternatives to thestandard practice of ditching to alleviate surface runoff problems. I have taken this policy position becauseditching, while effective for the immediate area of concern, merely moves the problems downstream.Furthermore, it seems unwise, even foolish to solve surface water problems with ditches while we areorganizing the Priority Watershed Project a primary goal of which will be to slow the surface water movementand buffer tributaries so that the water will take longer to reach the major streams on the reservation. If this(the mana,ged and buffeted runoff) is not accomplished, there is no hope of restoring'Duck Creek to a level ofwater quality sufficient to support game fish and swimming.

The Planning Department is presently working with the US Soil Conservation Service, the US Corps ofEngineers, the Wisconsin DNR, and the Soil conservation Officers of Brown and Outagamie County to developecologically responsible remedial actions for surface water control. We have investigated the construction ofdetention ponds and wetlands upstream of the problem areas. The Corps and the SCS will be at the Little BearCenter on Thursday, December 22, 1994, to discuss the feasibility of such actions and to organize the fmancialand technical aid that is available to the Oneida Nation. In addition, the Planning Department and the TribalEngineer have initiated a $450,OOO/year Capital Improvements project solely for the purpose of addressing thisproblem Ul a responsible manner. When complete, this set of remedial actions will result in a system of pondsand wetl311ds which will recharge the aquifer and filter the waters entering Duck, Apple and AshwaubenonCreeks of nutrients, pesticides, and animal wastes. These constructions will be integrated components of theOpen Space and Natural Areas Element of the master Plan.

Incthe short tenn, Mr. PIitz, Facilities Planner, has proposed temporary berms to be constructed at the site ofthe most serious threats to existing homes. Mr. PIitz is to be commended for the initiative and comprehensiveperspective he has taken in this matter. He has worked in cooperation with Mr. Jeff Sanders to build a solutionto this problem which is in keeping with the Oneida Way. It is imperative that these efforts be given ourcomplete support because they fit into an overall strategy which is environmentally conscious and, therefore,fitting of our Seven Generations planning horizon. When complete, the Oneida nation will have accomplished a

watershed management project which will be an example for the entire United States -to show the way.

ACTION OF JANUARY 4, 1995:MOTION BY GARY JORDAN TO REQUEST AN UPDATE FROM mE GENERAL MANAGERWITHIN 30 DAYS. SECONDED BY SANDRA NINHAM, MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.Response due by February 1, 1995.

The following recommendation are for your consideration:-Approve the request for a $3,000 donation to help the Indian Council of the Elderly, Inc., existing expenses,pending submission of an itemized expense list.-I would suggest a proposal requesting use of tribal lobbyists be submitted for review by the OBC to determineif the request is appropriate.-I would also suggest the OBC make a final determination on what the future of the Milwaukee group is.Reject the request to acquire specific property and operate a CBRF, based on the conclusion that this wouldrepresent a financial commitment for the Oneida Tribe that may not be in the best interest of the Tribe overall.

On November 8, 1994, the Secretary shared that the draft would be completed within 30 days and provided toN.C.A.I. The statement positively acknowledging the Departments effort should be advanced but one whichreserves final comment based upon review of this draft.

Our comments should also encourage the Secretary to ensure that Commerce actively and visible carries out itsduties consistent with this [mal policy.

H.R. 5291 died at the close of the 103rd Congress. As we understand it, its author, Mr. La Falce wasmotivated more by electioneering than reality. Of more concern is the similar Bill being offered byCongressman Wolf of Virginia. Should this Bill get consideration it will study and report on the broad gamingindustry, but will certainly scrutinize indian gaming.

The Wolf Bill asserts as its foundation that crime, prostitution and gaming addiction surround the industry.Obviously, this invites a witch hunt.

A national strategy is being addressed at the on-going NIGA Task Force Meeting. I will provide acomprehensive report upon my Congressional Agenda that we should not expert it to move quickly.

14. Request from Mike Lokensgard RE: ORTEK and Easement under the Green Bay andNorthwestern tracks

Dave Cluckey of MIS contacted the law office regarding an easement to run fiber-optic cable under the GreenBay and Western tracks between the Norbert Hill Center and Littlebear. The railroad had informed Dave thatthe cost of such an easement would be $1,500.00 per year or $15,000.00 for a one time basis. For boring underthe tracks with a 2" pipe, this fee is ridiculous. MIS is eager to move ahead, however. I have begunresearching the status of the land in question, in order to find out what the Green Bay and Western's interest is.

This may be a long process. In addition to searching the records in Outagamie County, Madison and elsewherefor a deed to the railroad, I will need to review the railroad's records. which are available at the NationalRailroad Museum. To date, I have established that there is no railroad deed recorded in Outagamie County forthe land in question. I also hope to fmd additional information regarding a lease agreement between theRailroad and the Oneida Tribe.

Because this research will take some time, a couple of options could be looked at:1. Paying the Railroad for one year ($1,500.00) and running the fiber optic cable immediately. This would

be MIS's preferred course of action, as it would result in the line being installed and would allow thenext year for exhaustive research into the ownership question. If it turned out that the Railroad could notdemonstrate title to the land, or if a lease agreement turned up, the money could be recovered.2. Condemnation. A more aggressive approach would be to exercise the Tribe's sovereign governmentalpower of eminent domain. The Tribe owns that land on both sides of the track and could theoreticallycondemn an eaSement from one property to the other. According to the terms of the Indian Civil RightsAct, a tribe can take property for public use as long as it pays just compensation. Just compensationwould have to be negotiated or set according to some standard, but when municipalities and utilitiescondemn easements across railroad tracks, the measure of damages is usually the amount by which thevalue of the property is reduced. There would be some reduction in value, but it would not begin to


3app'roach $15,000.00.Paying the $15,000.00 and researching the ownership question so that the money could be recovered ifthe ownership question turns out in the Tribe's favor.
