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.
The responsible person in a parish typically refers to the parish priest or pastor, who oversees the spiritual and administrative needs of the community. Additionally, there may be a parish council composed of lay leaders who assist in decision-making and support the priest in fulfilling the parish's mission. The specific roles can vary depending on the denomination and local church structure.

Yes, a Knights of Columbus Council operates under the oversight of the local parish and is accountable to the Parish Priest. The council's activities and initiatives should align with the parish's mission and goals, and they typically require the priest's approval for certain events and programs. This relationship ensures that the council supports the spiritual and community efforts of the parish.
They have very few responsibilities but they maintain services, such as leisure and recreational. They have limited power though and that is why there are only a few left, nowadays the District Council manages everything.
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.

It depends on the Parish. Some have no EMHC's or lectors, and no Parish council; and some have a very large Parish council, a hundred EMHC's, and a thousand lector's. It all depends on what the Priest wants.
