Hm, then it wasn't made clear enough, I guess.
The referendum is to fix exactly the concern you raised. It is explained in "Part 2 - Council role & MC eV Bylaws" of the announcement:

MC eV Articles of Association have a drawback which lies within the fact that councils responsibility is not adequately described so far, Council may contradict GA resolutions or even try to “force” Board into anything. Therefore, the following changes to MC eV Articles of Association shall be introduced:

§ 7 (Board of directors)
(5) The Board of Directors executes carries out the resolutions of the General Assembly and of the Council insofar as this decision jurisdiction is delegated to Council according to the statutes.

§ 8 (Council)
(4) The council has the duty to execute elections of all kinds. The council's duties, rules to announce council meetings, their proceedings and executions of votes are regulated by the Association Rules.

This outsources the definition of Council responsibility from Articles of Association to Association Rules (which might be altered without the need to register those changes at court, avoiding hassle and fees). Accordingly, a new paragraph will be added to the Association Rules:

§ 3.2 Council
(8) Tasks and competences of the Council are as follows:
(a) Representation of the associated members (garage account) and their interests.
(b) Counseling of the Board of directors in general matters
(c) Council is responsible to execute all elections
