Narrative:

Pick up 6, an airport vehicle, requested to cross all runways at taxiway C, a midfield taxiway, from the west side to the east side of the airport. I had intended for pick-up 6 to hold short of runway 32L at taxiway C, because of bonanza traffic on final for that runway. Local control advised me that a vehicle was crossing runway 32L at taxiway C. I then had instructed pick-up 6 to expedite across runway 32L, bonanza traffic on a 1/2 mi final. Pick-up 6 advised me that he was told to hold short of runway 32R at taxiway C. Upon further review of the tapes, I did instruct pick-up 6 to hold short of runway 32R at taxiway C. No loss of separation had occurred. During this situation, I had a number of things going on at the same time. I had to call for release to ZMP, other aircraft requesting to taxi, issuing clrncs, and an operations supervisor attempting to brief me on a taxiway closure. It was very distraction and no way did he ensure that I was off the frequency or not coordinating with others to complete his briefing. I had to ask him once again, 'what was the closure and restr?'
