Angel,

Where are you from Uranus?  "those structures survived Genghis Kahn, Attila the Hun, the dark ages, reformation, plague, feast, famine, you name it.  Do you really think these enlightened societies have been having charity balls for the preservation while the entire known world was periodically collapsing?  “Kate Mellina, and the current council seem to be indicating it is not fiscally responsible to preserve…” anything; because they’ve not a clue about business, governing, developing, saving or anything else save doing The Fishman’s bidding.  You’ve got one thing right “…they should put major decisions on the ballots.”

How much do you think it would cost to preserve those buildings?  I am just curious.  You mention traveling to Italy and Greece.  But those structures, did not sit for years without anyone doing anything.  Some things can be looked at like cancer.  If you catch it early the survival rate is usually higher.  If you know you have a lump and you let years pass and don't go to the doctor, the survival rate is usually low.  
Kate Mellina, and the current council seem to be indicating it is not fiscally responsible to preserve some of the buildings in Asbury Park.   The question for preservation should be put on the ballot and let the people decide.  Lay out the cost for both, that way the community is now responsible for the fiscal impact.  If it means significant tax increases, the out come was decided by the people and not by any council members. 
In order for council members and board of education members to avoid constant negative scrutiny, they should put major decisions on the ballots.
