Mr. Hjelle (Pioneer Press interview in recent financial mess article):
"I took a huge leap of faith. I thought, you know, what the hell harm can he [Copeland] do?" [emphasis added]
Mr. Copeland (speaking of the Banick settlement in the September 2007 City News) [pdf]:
... it was LMCIT that paid the settlement, the City of Maplewood did not pay one dime of taxpayer money to settle this litigation.
... and the City was reimbursed by the Insurance Carrier for any payments the City made....

From the packet for the Monday workshop:
This preliminary indications are that LMCIT will be considering the levels and extent of ourcoverage. Attached is a letter from June 22, 2007 that identifies the exposure concerns and rate adjustment of 13.5% to $189,952. As we understand, the LMCIT Board will be considering a number of options for continuation of Maplewood’s coverage. Preliminary information indicates that an additional surcharge of 15% may be applied. This is an increase of approximately $28,500 which will be applied for the majority of 2008. Additional indications are that LMCIT may be considering increase the deductible liability limits for employment litigation from the current level of $50,000 per occurrence to $200,000 per occurrence. While this is an expenditure that is not immediately a cost item, we have typically budgeted for a portion or percentage of the liability exposure. [emphasis added]
