MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Trial has been scheduled in early January for a lawsuit that a company filed against the Minot Public School District over unpaid cleanup expenses resulting from the 2011 Souris River flood.
The Minot Daily News reports that a federal jury in Bismarck is scheduled to hear ServPro’s case on Jan. 8.
The school district hired the company to clean up flood-damaged schools. The Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursed all but $1.9 million of the expense.
Minot Public Schools contends Servpro’s owner told the district it wouldn’t charge anything over and above what FEMA paid. ServPro disputes that.
A federal judge ruled in September that the contract had been breached, but he didn’t rule on resulting damages. The two sides held settlement talks, but no settlement was reached.
