Doesn't a difference if they get the code or not. Copyright has a legal
definition, and U.S. law states that if you do creative work for someone
and are not an employee, you own the copyright (unless you have assigned
the copyright to them in the contract or other legal document).
The fact it was "written for the council" is immaterial. Check with a
copyright attorney.
