Description:

Author David N. Ammons steps beyond the current literature on local government performance measurement by offering benchmarks against which an individual municipality's performance may be assessed. This important volume guides municipal executives, department heads, management analysts, mayors and city council members, citizen groups, and interested individuals beyond the development of performance measures for city government operations. It prepares them for the initial stages of actual performance assessment by presenting relevant national standards developed by professional associations and actual performance targets and results from a sample of respected city governments.
