Is there an obligation upon your council to adhere to the pay agreement?

Is there already a resolution or a contractual requirement so to do?

If there is then you could be liable but if there isn't you may just as well not be.

It is for the council to decide and resolve pay rates for employees which should then be ratified in employment contract.
If employment contract is NOT aligned or comparable to local government pay scheme then there would be no obligation.
