Sorry, but parish councils [which are a joke in many parishes or don't exist at all] don't exist to permit the people to present issues that THEY would like to discuss.  Parish councils are called because the pastor WANTS the council to convene.  

In plain words, the laity aren't given a chance to discuss issues.  In fact, when Pope Francis was soliciting the ideas of the ordinary people in the parishes before the First Synod of Bishops, a number of dioceses did not even inform the people that they would have an opportunity to express their views.  These bishops had lay members of parish staffs give their input.  Many staff members were wary because it would be easy to trace their responses--coming from a parish [on-line].  So nothing much was garnered from parish staff members.
