Jacques: The council will never agree to it!

Ironwood: You forget, I hold two seats on the council.

Yeah, it really seems like Jacques isn't part of the council. If he was, he would've said "The rest of the council will never agree to it", or he would mention he's not voting for it.

As for the number of seats on the council... Vale's council has 3 members. We saw this during Ozpin's video call with them and Ironwood in Breach.

It's unknown if Atlas' council has the same number as Vale's, though.
