Embedded Files
Timeline and Concerns:
3/9/2017 - Church appointed as alternate board member at SVBGSA (groundwater sustainability agency). Form 700 discloses only antique business with McKenzie—no real estate, LLCs, or family ties mentioned, despite ~10-year relationship (dating back to ~2007). Forms are also patently incomplete.
4/20/2017 - Church marries Kathryn McKenzie after 10-year relationship. Marriage timing raises questions about pre-existing knowledge of McKenzie's LLC web (1995 cluster, ties to Burgstrom/Davis)—should have triggered immediate updated disclosures if any community property or influence existed.
9/2/2017 - Church's father dies.
10/12/2017 - Church leaves SVBGSA. In a 2022 campaign video, he claims he left due to a "bad experience" seeking term renewal (implying forced exit or rejection and no prior relationship evident) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwqjAb_J_Bk (~3:00 mark). . No real estate listed on post-departure filings. filings patently incomplete. Verification and page count filled in by another Monterey County Leader.
Potential violations:
Penal Code § 118 (perjury if false statements on Form 700).
Gov. Code § 87200 et seq. (mandatory disclosure of economic interests); potential conflict under § 87100 if McKenzie's properties , the brokers they have a formal partnership with or any of their clients are related to water-dependent ag land, sanitation or any other issues that may have influenced SVBGSA decisions. Concerns about undisclosed spousal/relationship interests (Gov. Code § 87205 community property rules).
