# Speaker roster — Vigo County Council (Sunshine), 2026-08-04 Resolved against the transcript at `Ledger/Meetings/2026-08-04-vigo-county-council-sunshine.md`. 20 of 146 diarization labels carried enough speech to attempt resolution; the remaining 126 sparse labels were pre-merged into `` by the diarization stage and are out of scope here. Roll call named seven council members (David Thompson, Brad Anderson, Vicki Wager, Steve Ellis, Randy Gentry, Nancy Alsop, Brenda Wilson) [t=31], but only one of the twenty labeled speakers could be matched to a roll-call name with direct-address evidence (David Thompson, `speaker_154`, probable). The chair who runs the meeting throughout is never named — addressed only as "Mr. President" — and is recorded `role_only` after merging three diarization labels (`speaker_19`, `speaker_20`, `speaker_171`) that repeatedly split one continuous sentence across label boundaries. Unlike this body's 2026-09-01 meeting, no line here uses the chair's surname, so the cross-meeting identification of the president as Steve Ellis is not carried into this roster as a name. Two commissioners attend and both self-identify: Mike Morris (`speaker_23`) and Mark Clinkenbeard (`speaker_206`), both spelled here to match the resolved roster entities at `Ledger/Entities/People/mike-morris.md` and `Ledger/Entities/People/mark-clinkenbeard.md` rather than any single in-meeting ASR rendering. `speaker_257` continues Clinkenbeard's elevator/jail narrative by topic and role only, with no naming event of its own, and is recorded `role_only` with `merge_with: speaker_206` rather than restating his name at that label. | Label | Name | Role | Confidence | |---|---|---|---| | speaker_19 | — | chair | role_only (merged) | | speaker_20 | — | chair | role_only (→ speaker_19) | | speaker_171 | — | chair | role_only (→ speaker_19) | | speaker_23 | Mike Morris | commissioner | confirmed | | speaker_30 | — | councillor | role_only | | speaker_34 | Gretchen Atling | public defender | probable | | speaker_72 | Scott | staff | probable | | speaker_76 | — | councillor | role_only | | speaker_84 | Judy | auditor | probable | | speaker_102 | Jeff Fox | staff (Sheriff's Office) | confirmed | | speaker_154 | David Thompson | councillor | probable | | speaker_182 | Devin | staff | probable | | speaker_206 | Mark Clinkenbeard | commissioner | confirmed | | speaker_211 | Kathy Stoll | resident (Susie's Place) | confirmed | | speaker_249 | Ricky Hammonds | staff (facilities) | confirmed | | speaker_257 | — | commissioner | role_only (→ speaker_206) | | speaker_298 | John Hendrix | staff (fire chief) | confirmed | | speaker_321 | Bill Watson | staff (Community Corrections) | confirmed | | speaker_365 | — | prosecutor's office | role_only | | speaker_492 | Deanna Griffin | resident (Phoenix House) | confirmed | No vote, accusation, or characterization of a third party is attributed to any `probable` or `role_only` name in this roster; downstream highlight drafting must keep those at `probable`/role only per the hard limit in the archive contract, §12b. In particular, the abstention announcement recorded under the merged chair labels [t=3294-3316] and any legal-authority framing under `speaker_365` must render by role, not by name.
