I have never heard them called anything other than "member of the parish council".
Church Council must oversee only the administration and/or the physical operation in the church, but they are not the one controlling or manipulating the spiritual operation in the church, it should be given to the pastoral staff (pastors and elders). Therefore, church administration (physical) - Council. For Spiritual operation (Ministries) - Pastoral Staff.

There were exactly no doctrines defined at the Second Vatican Council. The Second Vatican Council was the first purely pastoral council ever held in the Church.
The Catholic Church considers the local level to be the diocese, which is headed by a bishop (who may also be an archbishop and/or a cardinal). The bishop is advised by a presbyteral council and a pastoral council, and is assisted by auxiliary bishops (sometimes), deacons, priests (presbyters), and lay ecclesial ministers. However the diocese is subdivided into parishes, which is the local congregation with a parish church, which is usually run by a pastor (who is a priest/presbyter), or by a pastoral life director (a deacon or lay ecclesial minister). This person, the pastor or pastoral life director, is assisted by a pastoral staff which may constitute priests, deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers, and is advised by a pastoral council and a finance council. Some parishes are further subdivided into base ecclesial communities, who meet regularly for worship and catechesis, and these are usually run by a lay ecclesial minister or a catechist. This is particularly true in an area with a large geography or large population, and where the sole priest in the parish can only join local communities once every several weeks.
