MINOT — Selectmen have reviewed a list of more than 100 residents who are due refunds from the town’s development-impact-fee program.

Beginning in 2004, the town responded to a housing boom that threatened to place more demands on town services, particularly schools, by instituting a development-impact-fee program.

For about five years, the town collected $2,800 with each housing permit it issued: $2,000 of it earmarked for the school, $500 for public safety and $300 for recreation.

About two years ago, selectmen noted that while subdivisions were approved and houses were built, the town’s population soared in response, but the number of students at Minot Consolidated School didn’t.

The money set aside for the school will be refunded.

Town Administrator Arlan Saunders anticipates that in two weeks, at the next selectmen meeting, he will have about 70 checks, in the amount of $2,000 each, ready to be signed over to the current owners of properties that were assessed the fees.

Saunders was working on about 30 more properties Monday, making sure that the refund goes to the proper recipients.

Recipients of the checks will be called to the town office to sign for their refunds.

In other business:

* The board appointed Tina Love to the seat on the Regional School Unit 16 Committee left vacant when Chris Woodford resigned in March.

Originally, Love and Annette Hemond-Annance, a former school board member, had been scheduled to interview with selectmen on Monday. Both had expressed interest in filling Woodford’s seat.

However, about a week ago, Hemond-Annance informed Saunders that she was no longer interested, citing the sour relationships that seem to have developed between the towns and the RSU 16 board.

Love will serve until the municipal election scheduled for March 2012.

* Selectmen tabled action on a request on behalf of the Poland Regional High School cross-country team to use the town’s hiking trails for meets. Selectmen need more information on how the meets would be conducted.
