I was on a committee recently and interestingly heard feedback from other committee members that because the job was perceived as a pay cut that it was a negative on the candidate. It was the candidate I preferred and I tried to suggest that the position was a step up in their career and they were candid with the expectations of what the salary would be. But the other committee members saw it as a negative that they might look to be increased quickly to what they were getting from a previous employer.
With that in mind, I'm thinking it's relevant to make it clear that your expectations meet what they are willing to offer, if you really want to be considered for the position. You don't want them to think you'll take the job and then in a couple months feel like you should be making more money. So if I were you, I might elaborate on this area more in the interview.
Good luck.
