MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A federal judge has partially sided with a company suing the Minot Public School District for $1.9 million in unpaid services following the 2011 Souris River flood.
Storm Team Robbins, LLC was hired under the name ServPro of the Seacoast by the district to clean flood damaged schools. The Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursed most of those expenses.
ServPro is suing the district for the remaining expenses. But district officials argue that ServPro's owner told the district it wouldn't be charged over what FEMA paid.
Judge Daniel Hovland has ruled that there was a breach of contract. He says the lawsuit will be resolved by a jury trial.
A trial scheduled for Oct. 10 has been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date.
