在今天（2020年3月23日）三角洲市举行的特别会议上，市长哈维和三角洲政府一致通过了一项新的章程并最终通过，使三角洲市可以将2020年统一费率公用事业账单的逾期截止日期推迟到2020年6月1日。
由于COVID-19大流行，该新法规旨在在特殊时期内为三角洲居民提供一些经济救济。三角洲政府将在今年春季晚些时候审查该章程，以确定是否需要进一步延长期限。
“我们认识到居民和企业目前面临的财务困难，并希望在可能的情况下减轻财务方面的压力和焦虑。该章程将为我们社区的许多人提供一些救济。我们的城市也在努力实现经济复苏为三角洲制定计划，并制定策略以在当前充满挑战的时期内刺激当地经济发展。”
-市长乔治·哈维
市长还致函省政府，要求调整以符合“财产税递延计划”的资格，以便扩大参与范围。哈维市市长和市政府工作人员继续与各级政府合作，寻求可以减轻这一时期许多不列颠哥伦比亚省人民所面临的经济负担的措施。

At the Special Meeting held March 23, 2020, Mayor Harvie and Delta Council unanimously gave fourth reading and final adoption to a new bylaw enabling the City of Delta to defer the late payment penalty deadline for 2020 flat rate utility bills to June 1, 2020.
This new bylaw is intended to provide some financial relief to Delta residents during the current challenging times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delta Council will review the bylaw later this spring to determine whether a further extension to the late payment penalty deadline is required.
"We recognize the financial hardship being faced by our residents and businesses at this time and want to reduce stress and anxiety around finances where possible. This bylaw will help provide some relief for many in our community. The City is also working on an economic recovery plan for Delta with strategies to help stimulate our local economy during these challenging times." - Mayor George V. Harvie
Mayor Harvie has also written to the Provincial government requesting to adjust requirements to qualify for the Property Tax Deferment Program to allow for broader participation. Mayor Harvie and City staff continue to work with all levels of government to seek measures that could alleviate the financial burden that many British Columbians are faced with during this time period.
