\nOn May 8, at approximately 8 a.m., the San Diego Police Department\u2019s Narcotics Unit served a search warrant at an apartment in the 3800 block of Ingraham Street. This location is located in a residential apartment complex and was being used to operate an illegal marijuana delivery service called “Beach Budz.” The search warrant yielded approximately two pounds of high grade marijuana, concentrated cannabis and edibles, $1,200 in cash, and business documents and records. The owner\/operator (Anthony Cruz, 29 years old) was arrested and issued a citation for operating a business without a license and sales of marijuana. SDPD and the City Attorney\u2019s office are continuing to conduct enforcement on all illegal marijuana delivery services, as well as, all other illegal marijuana businesses operating in the City of San Diego. All persons operating these illegal marijuana businesses will be arrested and prosecuted. County releases report on hepatitis A outbreak The County of San Diego released an “After Action Report” on May 10 that summarizes the County\u2019s response to an unprecedented hepatitis A outbreak that began in early March 2017.
\nA local public health emergency was declared on Sept. 1, 2017, and stayed in effect until Jan. 23.
\nThe purpose of an after action report is a self-evaluation to document an agency\u2019s response after an emergency. This Hepatitis A Outbreak After Action Report looks at the County\u2019s response to the local health emergency and actions taken during the outbreak to assess what worked well, what could be improved, and a plan for making recommended improvements.
\nAmong the 21 recommendations in the report:
\nEnhancing the use of an incident command structure to coordinate regional actions, including convening a group of County and regional executive leadership from affected areas that meets regularly; Ensure more County staff not normally assigned to emergency situations are trained so that they may be utilized for large-scale, long-lasting or unique public health emergencies; Work with local healthcare providers to ensure that people who work with homeless individuals and drug users receive the HAV vaccine and that all healthcare providers enter the vaccinations into the immunization registry; Educate all County jail inmates on hepatitis A risk and encourage them to be vaccinated. The report also highlights several novel approaches taken to combat the outbreak including the use of foot teams. The teams paired up County Health and Human Service Agency public health nurses with homeless outreach workers and public safety officers who were deployed to provide vaccinations and education in homeless encampments, difficult to reach areas near river beds, in canyons and at locations that provide services to homeless people.
\nThe complete report is available online. Seafood sandwich shop to expand to Pacific Beach

Aguas frescas — nonalcoholic combinations of fruits, cereals, flowers or seeds blended with sugar and water — will initially mark the beverage menu, with beer and wine to follow.

\nPoll workers, especially those who are bilingual in any one of six specific languages, are needed for the June 5 Gubernatorial Primary Election. The Registrar\u2019s office is required by federal law to provide bilingual speakers and voting materials to voters who speak Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese. In addition, a survey conducted by the University of California, Berkeley showed a need for speakers of Arabic and Korean at just under 90 precincts across the county so the Registrar\u2019s office is also recruiting poll workers who are bilingual in those languages.
\nTo become a poll worker, applicants must be a U.S citizen and registered to vote in California, or lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States. Poll workers must have transportation to their assigned polling location, access to the internet to take an online training and attend a two-hour class in person.
