Mr. Canary,

I have reviewed your email and attachment.

Neither I nor my office is obligated to respond to or comply with unilateral “demands,” imposed deadlines, or requests for sworn admissions. The document you transmitted has no legal effect on the County or its employees.

My office provides general information about County policies and public processes. We do not investigate allegations, litigate claims, or disclose personnel matters by email.

If you believe you have evidence of legal violations, the appropriate course is to present it directly to the District Attorney, Attorney General, FPPC, or a court of competent jurisdiction. Public records requests must be submitted through the County’s Public Records Act process.

Glenn Church
Monterey County Supervisor, District 2

Supervisor Church:

Thank you for your prompt reply dated December 18, 2025. While I appreciate the acknowledgment, your response does not substantively address any of the 10 specific demands outlined in the attached civil demand, nor does it refute the documented pattern of evasive communications in the appendices. As an elected official, you have statutory obligations to promote transparency and accountability to constituents under provisions such as the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code §§ 54950 et seq.), Government Code § 1090 (conflicts of interest), and the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code §§ 7920 et seq.), among others. Dismissing these as "unilateral demands" with no legal effect overlooks these duties and treats your role more like that of an unelected county employee without direct accountability to the public, rather than a representative elected by District 2 voters.

Additionally, your email signature directs constituents to a personal domain (glennchurch.com) for official supervisor activities, including calendars, team details, and newsletters. While convenient, this practice raises concerns about transparency and oversight: How are public records on a non-county-controlled site preserved and accessible under the PRA? This blurring of personal and official channels, especially in the context of declining direct responses, creates an impression of operating with limited external checks, akin to an unaccountable "kingdom" rather than integrated county governance.

Finally, your review and determination of "no obligation" prompts questions about legal consultation.

Given your response, I have two requests: 

1. Please confirm or deny whether you consulted the Monterey County Counsel regarding this matter prior to your response.

2. Please provide the full contact information for the County Counsel, including: name, email address, phone number, and physical address.

I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience, and remind you that the original demand's response deadline remains December 25, 2025. and it is er-attached for easy reference. Failure to comply may be treated as deemed admissions per the terms outlined.

Regards, 

Bryan Canary
