# Speaker roster — Vigo County Oversight Board, 2026-07-20

Diarization returned 44 labels total; 25 sparse ones are merged into `<other>`
and are out of scope for this roster. The 19 labels carrying substantial
speech are resolved above.

## Summary

- **The chair is never named in this transcript**, consistent with the
  2026-08-12 meeting of this same body. Four labels (`speaker_7`,
  `speaker_13`, `speaker_23`, `speaker_140`) are merged as one person on
  identical procedural function — opening statement, motions, votes,
  introducing the guest presenter, inviting Commissioner Switzer, and
  closing the meeting — plus a mid-word split (`speaker_23`/`speaker_140`,
  "his" / "concerns") that pins the merge directly.
- **`speaker_42` is deliberately left unresolved (`role_only`)** rather than
  merged into the chair or assigned to Mark Matheny: most of its fragments
  read as the chair's own recap, but one fragment is the unambiguous
  continuation of a Matheny sentence. Contradictory evidence gets `role_only`
  by the standing rule, never the more frequent or more convenient name.
- **Board members named via direct address**, cross-referenced against the
  2026-08-12 roster for this same board: Mark Matheny (`speaker_52`,
  probable) and Heather LaBella (`speaker_22`, probable). Jim Bramble and
  Carrie Pickens are both referenced by the chair (motions/seconds) but their
  own speaking turns fall in the sparse `<other>` set and are out of scope
  here.
- **Kelsey Hankowitz**, Terre Haute Casino Foundation board of directors,
  self-identified and delivers the meeting's central funding-commitment
  presentation (`speaker_34`, confirmed).
- **Two county commissioners are distinguished by the chair's own framing**:
  an unnamed commissioner who speaks first when the chair generically invites
  "Commissioner?" (`speaker_60`, role_only), and Chris Switzer
  (`speaker_102`, probable), whom the chair later addresses by name as having
  "passed up" that same earlier opportunity — confirming these are two
  different people.
- **Public comment** speakers are essentially all self-identified per the
  podium procedure: Terry Potter, Katie Goldner, Summer Liggett, Kathy Heaton
  (cross-matches the 2026-08-12 roster), Claire Bennett, April Childress,
  Jason Childress, and Olivia Cordray — all `confirmed`.
- **`speaker_85`/`speaker_88` are merged** as one person (Summer Liggett): a
  clipped "good morning" walk-up greeting immediately followed by the same
  greeting repeated into her self-introduction, read as a diarization split
  rather than two people trading greetings.

## Confidence counts

- `confirmed`: 9 (speaker_34, speaker_67, speaker_77, speaker_88,
  speaker_111, speaker_123, speaker_129, speaker_134, speaker_147)

- `role_only`: 6 (speaker_7, speaker_13, speaker_23, speaker_42, speaker_60,
  speaker_140)
