The Montgomery County Council is set to vote on ambulance fees this week — the latest chapter in a long-standing debate between the council and County Executive Ike Leggett over whether the county should charge up to $800 for emergency transportation.

Though the County Council tabled a bill last November that would have given the county the legal authority to institute ambulance fees, Leggett went ahead and proposed regulations in May that would require a person who uses a county ambulance to provide information to the county for billing purposes.
