Ron Moeller's statement to the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council March 5, 2013
Good evening. My name is Ron Moeller, I've been a resident of RPV since the mid-70s and I'm speaking on behalf of Occupy Palos Verdes and the over 300 concerned residents who have stopped by our table at the farmer's market and signed our petition for the city of RPV to move its account from B of A to a smaller bank. ' At your council meeting last December 4th I inquired about the status of the City Council's June directive for staff to provide a recommendation regarding competitive procurement of banking services. At that time seven banks had complied with the Council's October 22nd filing date for a "Request for Proposal" (RFP) and City staff expected to return a recommendation to City Council by early 2013. Occupy PV and the over 300 concerned RPV residents who signed our petition, urge the City Council to limit their consideration to the four smaller banks that met the filing date Le.. Bank ofthe West, Malaga Bank, Union Bank, and US bank. Our opinion (and the reason Occupy PV requested this review in the first place) is that Bank of America (which currently has the city's account), Citibank, and Wells Fargo Bank are three of the six "too big to fail" banks that bear major responsibility for crashing our economy in 2008. These three banks would have failed in 2008 had not the U.S. Government and the U.S. taxpayers bailed them out with a near zero interest loan of $600 billion. Since then, all three have incurred literally billions in fines and settlement fees for toxic mortgages, municipal bond fraud, and illegal foreclosures. As I speak, all three still face substantial litigation and are even bigger today than they were in·2008, having gobbled up much of their smaller competition during that crisis. The three are no less likely to fail now than in 2008 since efforts to regulate them have been effectively neutered by financial lobbyists. Also, the three banks still are deeply involved with derivatives and collateral debt obligations, the very instruments thpt Warren Buffet labeled "weapons of mass destruction". In the opinion of Occupy PV and its supporters, going with ,a smaller or more local bank that requires no bailout, has no related litigation, is not too big to fail, and supports the community, is safer for the city of RPV and a far more moral decision than siding with a Wall Street corporation. Thank you for hearing me out on this important issue.
