April 30, 2015 meeting:  There were 23 members at the meeting.  Our speaker was Vince Barthels, a biologist with JUB engineers.  The company works with smaller municipalities to plan public works projects and clients are located from Eastern Washington to Colorado.  He said the current drought situation has helped with equipment and soil movement but causes problems for fish monitoring.  He also mentioned the Washington Shoreline master plan which does not allow new railroad lines to be constructed within 200' of the high water mark of waterways.
