Montgomery County Council nominates Mitra Pedouin to Planning Board; sends appointment to executive
Summary
The County Council nominated Mitra Pedouin for the Montgomery County Planning Board in a unanimous roll-call vote and will transmit the nomination to the county executive for confirmation within 30 days.
The Montgomery County Council unanimously nominated Mitra Pedouin for appointment to the Montgomery County Planning Board and will transmit the nomination to the county executive, who has 30 days to approve or reject the appointment.
Councilmember Andrew Friedson formally nominated Pedouin, citing her experience in permitting, engineering and project management for state and county agencies and her background in budget analysis. Councilmember Fanny Gonzalez seconded the nomination.
Clerk roll-call votes recorded each councilmember voting in the affirmative; the council president called the vote unanimous. The council noted Pedouin's experience in the Department of Permitting Services, Maryland State Highway Administration and other county roles as qualifications for the board position.
Next steps: the nomination will be transmitted to the county executive for final action. If approved, Pedouin will fill the vacancy on the Planning Board.
Why this matters: The Planning Board reviews land-use cases and master plan implementation; appointments shape local planning decisions and policy oversight.
