I see the email to HR and the council as self-righteous and attempting to undermine my authority.
I see a "reply all" in a situation like this as friendly and open discussion - as long as it is diplomatically worded and not in legalese. A private email to me or (separately) to the person who sent the email would also be good, but further action would then be needed to undo the damage. If was anonymous, it would signal a lack of trust, which I'd find disturbing, but understandable.
