The statute made it a felony for a government official to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples?

As noted in the article:

""Mayor Gavin not only acted in violation of the civil law, he apparently violated the criminal law as well," the letters state. "California Penal Code section 115 prohibits the knowing procurement of any false or forged instrument to be filed or recorded in any public office, making such an act a felony punishable by up to three (3) years in prison."

The documents are false because they were never created by the California legislature as official documents.
