# Speaker roster — Vigo County Oversight Board, 2026-03-05

No agenda was available for this meeting. The closed set of board members used
here comes from this body's own rosters on either side of this meeting date
(2026-02-23 and 2026-04-09), which establish Mark Matheny, Heather LaBella,
Carrie Pickens, Jim Bramble, and a never-named chair as the voting membership,
plus Tim Berry of Crowe as the board's recurring outside financial consultant
and Larry Hutchings as the county auditor. Diarization returned 81 labels
total; 60 sparse ones are merged into `<other>` and are out of scope for this
roster. The 21 labels carrying substantial speech are resolved above.

## Summary

- **The chair is never named in this transcript**, consistent with every
  other meeting of this body. Two labels (`speaker_10`, `speaker_79`) are
  merged as one person on identical procedural function — casting the
  chair's own vote, handing off to Mr. Matheny, praising the presenter, and
  delegating logistics.
- **Mark Matheny** (`speaker_11`/`speaker_13`, confirmed) is handed the floor
  by title at the top of the meeting ("All right. Mr. Matheny.") and named
  again mid-meeting when another board member (`speaker_94`) addresses him
  directly as "mark." He delivers the bulk of the board's own framing of its
  work this meeting and sets the new once-a-week schedule.
- **Larry Hutchings**, the county auditor, dominates the meeting's first half
  presenting the AFR. His testimony is diarized across four labels
  (`speaker_17`, `speaker_23`, `speaker_24`, `speaker_60`), all `confirmed` —
  directly addressed by name at least three times and glued together by
  repeated mid-sentence diarization splits. He is introduced once as "Barry
  Hutchings," almost certainly an ASR mishearing of the name used
  everywhere else in the meeting.
- **Morgan Elkins** (`speaker_27`, probable), described on the record as
  Larry Hutchings's chief deputy, is introduced by name immediately before
  reading the cash-balance figures.
- **Jim Bramble** (`speaker_49`/`speaker_51`, probable) is addressed by name
  alongside Larry when Mark Matheny asks both for a peer-county comparison,
  and named twice more elsewhere in the meeting.
- **`speaker_186` and `speaker_218` remain role_only**: the Carrie invitation
  does not immediately hand off to either label, and intervening turns prevent
  a reliable merge.
- **Three labels are left `role_only` as oversight board members**
  (`speaker_38`, `speaker_94`, `speaker_110`) — each is clearly an engaged
  board member by the substance and register of their questions, but no
  naming or address evidence in this transcript recovers a name. Per this
  board's standing rule for unnamed but evidently-board-level speech (see the
  2026-04-09 roster's `speaker_63`), these are left unresolved rather than
  guessed against Heather LaBella or the other unaccounted board member.
- **`speaker_147`** self-identifies a role, not a name — "as a school board
  member" — during the school-visit discussion. Recorded as `role_only` with
  that role; a real self-ID, but not a name.
- **`speaker_61`** explains fund-allocation and tax-sale-surplus rules in the
  same register as the auditor's testimony but has no direct-address or
  mid-sentence link into that cluster, so it is left `role_only` rather than
  merged on topical similarity alone.
- **`speaker_252` and `speaker_8`** speak only after the meeting has
  adjourned, in what reads as an unrelated reception scene tacked onto the
  end of the recording. Left `role_only`/unknown; not part of the board's
  business.

## Confidence counts

- `confirmed`: 6 (speaker_11, speaker_13, speaker_17, speaker_23,
  speaker_24, speaker_60)
- `probable`: 3 (speaker_27, speaker_49, speaker_51)
- `role_only`: 12 (speaker_10, speaker_79, speaker_38, speaker_61,
  speaker_94, speaker_110, speaker_147, speaker_186, speaker_218, speaker_252,
  speaker_8, speaker_185)
