The Raytown Board of Aldermen voted to ratify the appointment of Diane Edgar as the city administrator at a special session convened May 27 and approved an employment agreement for the position. The presiding officer opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. and led a brief roll call before the board took up the single agenda item.
