John Hayden asked whether signing Christian Smith's proposal would obligate the committee to use him for the entire public safety project; members requested an itemized breakdown to confirm the quoted price covers only initial phases up to the town vote and fits the committee budget.

Committee Chair John Hayden sought clarity on the scope and budget of a proposal submitted by Christian Smith, asking whether signing the proposal would commit the town to Smith for the entire project or only for initial tasks through the town vote. The minutes record the committee's intent to confirm that the quoted price covers permitting, surveying and other pre-vote tasks but does not bind later phases.

Members asked that Christian Smith provide an itemized breakdown of costs to ensure transparency and to verify the total fits within the committee's available budget. That request was recorded as an action item for Hayden to follow up, with no contract award or formal commitment recorded at this meeting.
