9.3 Current baseline
measurements (November 2019)
The Annual Service Delivery Plans for each Directorate will
include up-to-date baseline service provision levels and
targets for future performance. These will be in line with
the service performance indicators set out by NOAC.

See Appendix B for the current service performance
indicators against which the Council measures
its performance.

9.4 Service Level Agreements
(SLAs)
dlr will enter into SLAs with organisations to deliver some
tasks on our behalf. Examples of work that we enter into
SLAs for include operation of our leisure facilities through
dlr Leisure and managing our water on behalf of Irish
Water. All SLAs to dlr contractors include Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs), in line with our corporate goals and
objectives, against which we measure effectiveness of the
service being provided.
