# Speaker roster — Vigo County Council, 2026-08-11

Diarization returned 89 anonymous voice clusters for this meeting; 69 carry
only sparse speech and are merged into `<other>` in the source transcript —
those are out of scope for this roster. The 20 labels below carry
substantial speech and are resolved against the roll call and closed set of
people known to be present.

## Method notes

- **Roll call establishes the closed set of council members**: David
  Thompson (absent — "on a business trip" [t=33]), Brad Anderson, Brenda
  Wilson, Nancy Alsop, Randy Gentry, Vicki Wager, Steve Ellis. The roll is
  read, in this order, at nearly every vote.
- **The presiding/chair function (speaker_6, 15, 22, 30, 125) and the
  roll-reading/clerk function (speaker_10, 12, 25) are each almost certainly
  one person apiece**, fragmented by diarization across several labels —
  the content of each group is functionally identical and the labels
  interleave rather than co-occur. No name was ever spoken for either role
  in this transcript, so both resolve to `role_only`. If the Council
  President's or Clerk's name is established from another source (agenda,
  prior roster, county records), this note should be corrected and the
  `role_only` grade upgraded.
- **Randy Gentry** (speaker_42/152) and **Brenda Wilson** (speaker_49/55)
  are each confirmed via 3+ direct-address naming events and self-consistent
  argument threads spanning two diarization labels.
- **Diana Smith** (Vigo County Recorder) and **Jeff Fox** (Sheriff's Office)
  are non-council witnesses who self-identify; Jeff Fox's testimony is
  split across three labels (139/142/199), two confirmed by direct
  proximity to the self-ID and one (199) graded probable.
- **Director Latimuk** (Homes for Children) is named once by direct address
  and answers in the first person immediately after — probable, not
  confirmed, per the single-naming-event rule.
- Neither of the two remaining unidentified councilmembers (speaker_187,
  speaker_183) is ever named or self-identifies; both stay `role_only`
  rather than being guessed into one of the four remaining roll-call names
  (Brad Anderson, Nancy Alsop, Vicki Wager, Steve Ellis), since nothing in
  the transcript ties a specific voice to a specific one of those four.
- No vote, accusation, or third-party characterization in this transcript is
  attributed to a name at `probable` — the hard limit in the archive
  contract's §12b.
