If the public vote is really close, then Council would actually have the authority to vote and make a decision based on the fact that the public is split on it. Say, vote is 51/49 but only 20% of all eligible voters voted. Still gives them a whiff of where people are on the issue, but leaves them freedom to govern. Kinda makes sense.
