During the meeting's public-participation period, residents asked the Selectboard about the schedule and cost for a temporary patch on Main Street and raised safety concerns about an unmarked bump in the roadway.

A resident asked, "Is it gonna cost $50,000?" The board responded that the temporary patch is scheduled to be installed the next morning; a Selectboard member said, "Tomorrow morning. 03:00." The board acknowledged the situation was an inconvenience and a nighttime hazard because there were no warning signs, and said the temporary repair was marked for immediate action while a later, more permanent repair would follow.

In the same exchange a Selectboard member clarified a previously discussed sewer funding item: "I thought it was a grant and it wasn't. It's actually a loan with forgiveness," the member said, noting that staff had to return the item to the warrant because the funding was not a straightforward grant. The board discussed that this affects the warrant timeline and may require additional meetings.

A separate public request for a copy of the town's water contract was answered: a Selectboard member said the contract had been emailed to the requester.

No formal vote or change in budget policy occurred during the public-participation segment; the board indicated staff would continue follow-up and that the temporary road patch work would proceed as scheduled.
