City leaders announced Wednesday the selection of Frank L. Myers to take over the role of city administrator.
Myers is coming to Sedalia from Glendale, a suburb of St. Louis, where he served as city administrator for the last two years. The Sedalia City Council approved the hire during a closed session after its regular meeting Monday.
