Recently, a member sent us a blast from the past in the form of a few issues of Chapter 290 (which is now Exchange magazine) from the 1980s. In this issue, dated 42 years ago, topics included “Use of Microcomputers for Budget Preparation,” “1984 MATI® Course Graduates,” and “A Brief History of the Municipal Clerk.” We've scanned the pages so you can read them here and get a sense of what local government employees were dealing with back then.
