Jan. 26--Tammy Johnson of Main Street Duncan will make a presentation to the Duncan City Council at Tuesday's regular meeting.

Johnson will update the council on plans for "Cruisin' the Chisholm Trail," which will take place April 17-18.

"What we're doing, because we get a small amount of city funding, I think that if they (the city) are giving us money, it is my responsibility to let them know what is going on," Johnson said.

"I have to get the permits for shutting down the streets and the cruise, which I've already done. They (the council) supports the program, and I'd certainly hope that they would come out and support what is going on."

The council will also consider approval of the consent agenda that contains:

--Issuance of February 2009 blanket purchase orders as required by OS 62, Section 310.8.
