# Speaker roster — Vigo County Commissioners, 2026-08-04

Resolved against the transcript at
`Staging/2026-08-04-vigo-county-commissioners/meeting.md`. Diarization
produced a large number of anonymous labels for this ~23.6-minute meeting;
per pipeline scope only the 18 labels carrying substantial speech are
resolved below, matching the count supplied for this pass. The remaining
sparse labels were pre-merged by the transcript provider into `<other>` and
are out of scope here.

## Notes for the highlight stage

- **The board has three seats; only two commissioners are present.** The
  chair opens by stating "Commissioner Switzer is out of town, excused
  absence, so he will not be with us" [t=15]. That leaves exactly two
  commissioners speaking tonight: the chair (`speaker_4`, addressed only as
  "Mr. President," never named) and a second, heavily-engaged commissioner
  fragmented across `speaker_6`, `speaker_29`, `speaker_41`, `speaker_49`,
  and canonically `speaker_64`. **The closed set for both seats is {Mike
  Morris, Mark Clinkenbeard}** — both self-identified by full name and title
  as Vigo County Commissioners at the County Council's sunshine meeting the
  same evening (`Staging/2026-08-04-vigo-county-council-sunshine/speakers.md`)
  — but nothing in *this* transcript names or directly addresses either
  present commissioner, so **no name is assigned to either seat**. Write
  around both as "a commissioner" / "the chair" until a future meeting's
  roll call or direct address resolves which is which.
- **`speaker_12` (the auditor) is never named.** The chair's "Mr. Auditor"
  address [t=46] and what the transcript renders as "Mr. Onder" [t=1225] are
  read as the same generic role address, not a surname — no name is
  asserted.
- **`speaker_25` ("Stiverson")** is graded `probable` on a single direct
  address from a commissioner (`speaker_21`) immediately preceding her
  detailed, first-person-plural explanation of the clerk's-office software.
  Surname spelling is unconfirmed elsewhere in the vault; treat as
  best-guess.
- **Ricky Hammonds (`speaker_100`/`103`/`109`/`117`)** is graded `probable`
  rather than `confirmed` because this transcript only carries a first-name
  direct address ("Ricky"). The full name and title come from the
  same-day County Council sunshine meeting's confirmed self-introduction —
  reused here per the standing-roster convention rather than invented.
- **Shannon Giles (`speaker_44`/`47`) and Jonathan Blake (`speaker_66`/`67`)**
  are both `confirmed` on clean self-identifications, each split across two
  labels by an unbroken diarization turn-change.
- No vote, accusation, or third-party characterization is attributed to any
  `probable` label in this roster (`speaker_25`, `speaker_100`/`103`/`109`/`117`);
  none of this meeting's business reached a recorded vote split beyond
  routine voice-vote motions, and downstream highlight drafting must keep
  these speakers at role-only for any such claim per the archive contract's
  hard limit (§12b).
