# Speaker roster — Vigo County Oversight Board, 2026-08-12

Diarization returned 88 labels total; 68 sparse ones are merged into `<other>`
and are out of scope for this roster. The 20 labels carrying substantial
speech are resolved above.

## Summary

- **Board (voting) members, closed set of 5 established by roll call**
  ("mr. Matheny I miss LaBella Pickens I mr. Bramble I and I'm a yes" [t=1661]
  and its repeat [t=3466]): Mark Matheny (`speaker_25`, confirmed), Heather
  LaBella (`speaker_37`, probable), Carrie Pickens (`speaker_41`, probable),
  Jim Bramble (`speaker_49`/`speaker_52`, confirmed), and the chair
  (`speaker_18`/`speaker_19`/`speaker_124`, role_only — never named on the
  record).
- **Tim Berry** (`speaker_70`/`speaker_77`), Crowe's financial consultant,
  self-identified and independently corroborated by a public commenter's
  reference to his prior service as Indiana State Treasurer.
- **`speaker_88`** is deliberately left `role_only` rather than merged: it
  carries two pieces of naming evidence that point in different directions
  (a "Hey, Mark" address vs. a self-identified "Earl Elliott, my father"),
  and the roster rule for contradictory evidence is `role_only`, never the
  more frequent or more convenient name.
- **Public comment** speakers are mostly self-identified per the podium
  procedure (Kathy Heaton, Rick Stevens, Chris Himsel, Rick Berger, Brandi
  Vandiver — all `confirmed`), with two exceptions left at lower confidence:
  the Mayor (`speaker_260`, role confirmed by direct address; first name from
  a garbled third-party reference, surname cross-referenced at `probable`
  from the same-day companion meeting's confirmed self-ID as "Brandon
  Sackman") and "Bob" (`speaker_306`, one direct-address naming event, no
  surname recoverable).
- `speaker_92` (a county commissioner) and `speaker_242` (addressed as
  "Commissioner," also self-describing a past county council tenure) are both
  `role_only`: institutional role is stated or evidenced on the record, but
  no personal name is ever attached to either label.

## Confidence counts

- `confirmed`: 10 (speaker_25, speaker_49, speaker_52, speaker_70,
  speaker_77, speaker_209, speaker_248, speaker_293, speaker_336,
  speaker_349)
- `probable`: 4 (speaker_37, speaker_41, speaker_260, speaker_306)
- `role_only`: 6 (speaker_18, speaker_19, speaker_88, speaker_92,
  speaker_242, speaker_124)
