Narrative:
Ground control (ground controller) coordinated a runway xx crossing at [intersection] utilizing a conditional clearance after an arrival. Subsequently; rsu [runway safety unit] pickup truck called to access the runway to pick up gear. Ground control told rsu to proceed onto runway xx without coordinating possession of the runway.1. Coaching the controller that runway crossings and runway ownership and separate events and need additional coordination.2. It is being taught that ground control can use a conditional request to access a runway from local control. For example 'after the [aircraft] on final; cross rwy xx at [intersection]?' this is distracting to the local controller and introduces unnecessary risk into the system. I believe this to be a systemic issue and that a 7110.65 change be initiated to close the loop.
