Summary/Abstract: Measuring performance in local public administration requires a different approach compared to the business environment. The need to measure performance, seen as a particular result, both in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, appeared more from the perspective of identifying directions, ways in which from a managerial point of view we can say that people management officials (county council president, mayors, directors of institutions) have achieved their mission and proposed objectives. According to the definitions, the local public administration must carry out its activity for the benefit of the citizen, but very often the results presented to him are of a propagandistic nature, easy to understand by the mass of voters, not specific to management specialists. The article aims to analyse the reports of mayors in the main cities of Romania and to identify their indicators and values in order to get an idea of how performance is presented at the level of such a public entity.
