LOGAN, Iowa — Logan will give its fired city clerk her job back and pay her $400,000, according to court documents filed Friday and Monday.

The Logan City Council fired Angela Winther in a hastily called special meeting on July 6, 2012. The council also fired City Attorney Joe Lauterbach at that meeting.

Council members at the time said little about the firings, but they cited insubordination in e-mails between Winther and Lauterbach as reasons.

Winther said the settlement means that not only does she get the job back that she loved, it means something more important to her: vindication.
