You haven't given the context, but you could say something like 'table a question to the council'. In a parliament, it's called a parliamentary question.

EDM - early day {local council or parliamentary} motion
The Latin-rooted overlap with the asker's definition suggests a broader term needs (to) be looked for in local {in sede di consiglio *comunale* o parlamentare} or national governmental terms. So let us put on our UK public (formerly: constitutional and administrative) law thinking caps.
I put my hand up and admit to taking against the option or nowadays fancily-named 'elective' of UK Local Government Law for law finals, even though the other commentators may have.
EDMs are used to put on record the views of individual MPs or to draw attention to specific events or campaigns. Topics covered by EDMs vary widely.
The Civility and Respect Project has backed a new Early Day Motion on intimidation in community, parish and town councils, tabled in parliament.

: As is so often the case, your answer is specific to the UK, and this question is not about the UK. Also, an early-day motion is a specific kind of question.
