The city of Glendale is asking voters on April 8 to consider Prop S — an $18.18 million bond issue to improve streets, sidewalks and stormwater systems over the next five years. If passed, the estimated cost to homeowners would be 35 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation. For a home with a market value of $300,000, that equates to roughly $199.50 a year, or $16.63 a month, according to the city of Glendale.

Kennedy and the boy, Henry, looked in Kennedy’s backyard and searched several other nearby yards without any luck in locating the drone.
