        8E.208  PERFORMANCE MEASURES, PERFORMANCE TARGETS, AND
      PERFORMANCE DATA.
         The department, in consultation with agencies, shall establish
      guidelines that will be used to create performance measures,
      performance targets, and data sources for each agency and each
      agency's functions.
         Performance measurement is essential to ensuring adequate
      accountability over public resources and the exchange of public
      resources for desirable and acceptable public benefits.  Performance
      measurement must include an assessment of whether agencies have
      adequate control procedures in place, and whether those control
      procedures are operating effectively, to determine that agencies are
      receiving or providing services of adequate quality, public resources
      are being used effectively and efficiently, and public resources are
      being used for appropriate and meaningful activities.
