I see your reasoning, but believe the only conspiracy here involves the other eight members going along with Emily as long as it did not affect their home districts.
As for why the legal advice was ignored, I'd say that lies with Emily's staff. I doubt any of the other council members cared enough about the legislation to worry about any technical issues. They were probably relieved to be more or less removed from the matter.
