Human Factors; Procedure
I; as CIC (Controller in Charge); told the Local controller that a pickup truck was on the active runway after he cleared Aircraft X for takeoff Runway 26 at Delta. The local controller was told in the brief when he took the position that a vehicle was approved on the runway full length. The local controller argued with me when I told him to hold Aircraft X short of RWY 26. The controller never fixed the situation and Aircraft X departed. I recommend that the Local controller listen to the CIC and not clear aircraft for takeoff with a vehicle on the runway!
JNU Tower CIC (Controller in Charge) advised Local Control that a vehicle was approved and on the runway. Local Control argued with CIC and the aircraft departed the runway with the vehicle on it.
