The council debated whether to formally admonish Trish Herrera-Spencer for behavior that violates the council's code of conduct.Spencer was attending a League of California Cities Conference in October when Long Beach police say she was found lying drunk on the sidewalk outside a bar.KTVU reviewed body camera footage of that event, which does appear to show that Herrera-Spencer was intoxicated.
In the end, however, the council did not take a vote and Spencer did not attend the meeting.Herrera-Spencer is one of five candidates running for two open seats on the city council.As of Wednesday, the unofficial count showed that special education teacher Michele Pryor and and Alameda County prosecutor Greg Boller are the top two vote getters. Herrera-Spencer is in third place.
