Abstract. In the framework of modern public administration, state-run administration and self-government organizations put the most emphasis on the result of the provided service, particular demands of citizens, responsibility for the provided service with respect to budget, and a product-oriented approach that is not distracted by other activities. Analysis of, and the resulting changes in, particular elements in the activities of public administration institutions, including organization of local self-government, can lead to efficient, economical and useful functioning of these organizations. This leads to optimization of processes in the organization of local self-government so that the latter can carry out its functions internally, as well as externally.
