# Speaker roster — Vigo County Commissioners, 2026-09-08

Diarized labels resolved against the closed candidate set for this body
(commissioners Clinkenbeard, Morris, and Switzer — Morris stated absent —
plus the county auditor and members of the public). No agenda or minutes
document was indexable for this meeting (see `meeting.md` — agenda status),
so roll-call-order inference was not available; attribution here rests on
self-identification, direct address, and role/function continuity across
turns.

## Confirmed (2 labels / 2 people)

- **Mark Clinkenbeard** — `speaker_15`, chair. Self-identifies as one of the
  two commissioners present ("it's just me and Chris" [t=643]) and is later
  addressed by first name during public comment [t=1199]. Matches the vault
  roster entity.
- **Larry Hutchings** — `speaker_20`, county auditor. Directly addressed by
  title and name by the chair [t=668] and answers immediately in role; gives
  a second auditor's-office update later in the meeting [t=868].

## Probable (3 labels / 3 people)

- **Mark Clinkenbeard** (continued) — `speaker_8`. The Pledge-of-Allegiance
  invitation immediately preceding the chair's opening remarks; almost
  certainly the same person split by diarization at that boundary.
  `merge_with: speaker_15`.
- **Chris Switzer** — `speaker_52`, commissioner. Named directly by the chair
  to take over the Susie's Place presentation [t=1027] and responds in kind;
  the earlier recess suggestion at [t=926] is likely the same voice, as no
  other commissioner is otherwise unaccounted for.
- **"Barber"** — `speaker_28`, resident/presenter. Named once by the chair
  introducing the road-acceptance agenda item [t=684]; surname only, no first
  name recoverable.

## Role-only (5 labels / at least 4 people)

- `speaker_9` — unknown. Sparse aside during pre-meeting banter [t=613].
- `speaker_36` — unknown. Two short lines about timing/thanks [t=898, t=909];
  distinct from the chair and from Switzer, both independently attested
  nearby, but no name recoverable.
- `speaker_39` — unknown. A third-person correction about Chris Switzer
  ("No, he's not." [t=860]), which rules out Switzer himself but supplies no
  name for the speaker.
- `speaker_82` — Susie's Place representative. Accepts the check and thanks
  the county [t=1145]; not distinguished by name from the "Nancy and Vicki"
  named elsewhere as the councilwomen present.
- `speaker_86` — resident, public comment. Addresses the chair by first name
  ("Mark") [t=1199] but does not self-identify; speaks from what sounds like
  a prosecutor's-office vantage point on Susie's Place's work with child
  victims.

## Open questions for the audit pass

1. Confirm the `speaker_8` → `speaker_15` merge (Mark Clinkenbeard) against
   any future meeting where the Pledge invitation and the chair's opening
   are diarized under a single label.
2. `speaker_36` and `speaker_39` remain unresolved; if either resolves to a
   named commissioner or staff member in a future meeting with cleaner audio,
   backfill the name here.
3. `speaker_82`'s identity (which Susie's Place staffer) and the surnames for
   "Nancy" and "Vicki" (Terre Haute city councilwomen present for the check
   photo) are not recoverable from this transcript alone; check `Entities/People/`
   or a future meeting for a surname before promoting.
4. No agenda/minutes were indexable, so roll-call-order corroboration was
   unavailable for this meeting; nothing here should be treated as
   confirmed-by-roll-call.
