Narrative:
146 vehicles authority/authorized by day airport to operate on the airport, txwys and runways. Truck called ground control, requested to cross runway 6L to the ramp with 2 trash trucks. Truck was advised to hold short of runway 6L. Vehicle crossed anyway. A BE90, on very short final, not in sight (visibility 3/4 mi) was sent around when it was noticed that the trucks were on the runway. I believe this occurred because day has 146 vehicles authority/authorized to use the airport and no formal training for operating on the airport.
