Narrative:
While working local control south position I approved vehicle X to inspect runway 12 for a possible bird stike. Aircraft X checks in for the visual approach to runway 12. I cleared aircraft X to land runway 12. Aircraft Y checks in for runway 09. I clear aircraft Y to land runway 9 and hold short of runway 12. I instructed vehicle X to hold short of runway 9 for aircraft Z landing runway 9 with the anticipation that he would cross runway 9 after aircraft Z landed. I issued crossing instruction to aircraft a and instructed aircraft a to contact ground. Ground control asked me to have aircraft a to join taxiway quebec reference their traffic. The asde alerted that runway 12 was occupied as aircraft X was over landing threshold. I then began a transmission to aircraft X to go around and realized it was too late and then instructed vehicle X to exit the runway immediately. The memory aid was in use. While scanning the runway I did not see the vehicle on the runway. I believe I forgot about the vehicle holding short on the runway due to having aircraft exiting the runway and crossing the runways. Recommend having a cab coordinator during that time of night. Different memory aids for vehicle on the runway.
