<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Abraham Rocha has agreed to attend our meeting next week. I have requested he come to discuss the procurement process as it relates to OFM's changes to sole sourcing and how it may affect renewing contracts. If any of you have
additional questions, you'd like to ask please send them to Maggie (mstewart@sbctc.edu) by the EOD Monday, October 17<span><sup>th</sup> so we can provide them to Abraham in advance. I am hoping to optimize the limited time we will have with him during the
meeting. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span>I'd also like to share with you all the Enhance Hybrid-Flex proposal sent to the Legislature for the 2023-25 Regular Budget Session. This was shared at yesterday's STAC meeting. As we all understand much of this proposal
was done without the input of groups such as ETAG, but the hope is if it is approved we will be brought to the table to discuss how to implement it. My goal in sharing is to keep you all in the loop of what I know. Should you have questions or concerns, I
will try my best to get you the answers you seek. </span></span></div>
