# Speaker roster — Terre Haute Board of Public Works, 2026-08-24

Diarized against 26 total labels; the 17 sparse labels merged into `<other>`
in the source transcript are out of scope for this roster and are not
resolved here.

No speaker in this recording is ever named aloud by anyone who could be a
board member, and the board's own roster
(`Ledger/Entities/Bodies/terre-haute-board-of-public-works-and-safety.md`:
Terry Hogan, Ron Hodge, Jim Nichols, Mary Howard Hamilton, Marla Flowers) has
no roll call to match speaking order against, unlike a council vote. The
chair function itself (speaker_0, and likely speaker_67 and speaker_75,
fragmented from it by diarization) is therefore held at `role_only` rather
than assigned to any one of the five members. `speaker_121` is confirmed as a
board member by function ("this group") and is confirmed NOT to be Jim
Nichols (named in the third person), but cannot be narrowed further among the
remaining four.

Two non-board speakers are identified by direct address rather than
self-statement and are held at `probable`: Ethan Page (event organizer,
Cherry Street closure request) and Mark Merrill (GMP presenter for the
renovation project). Both discuss agenda items in the first person
immediately after being named by the chair.

One Fire Department representative (speaker_55) and two contradictory,
likely-mixed clusters (speaker_15, speaker_66) carry no recoverable personal
name and are held at `role_only`; `speaker_66` is additionally flagged as a
probable split of the same sentence as `speaker_121`.
