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

Diarization returned many anonymous voice clusters for this meeting; only
the 20 labels carrying substantial speech (listed above) are resolved here.
123 sparse labels are merged into `<other>` in the source transcript and are
out of scope for this roster.

## Method notes

- **Roll call establishes the closed set of council members**: David
  Thompson, Brad Anderson, Brenda Wilson, Nancy Allsup, Randy Gentry, Vicki
  Weger, Steve Ellis — all seven answered present [t=360].
- **The chair is named directly in this transcript**, unlike this body's
  2026-08-11 meeting (whose roster left the chair `role_only` for lack of any
  spoken name): Commissioner Clinkenbeard addresses him as "President Ellis"
  [t=593], the agenda lists him as President, and he is addressed as "Mr.
  President" by a dozen different speakers. The presiding function is
  fragmented across speaker_12/speaker_20/speaker_157 by diarization; all
  three are read as Steve Ellis, with speaker_12 and speaker_157 confirmed
  and speaker_20 held at probable for lacking its own direct-naming event.
- **The clerk (speaker_46) is never named**, consistent with the 2026-08-11
  roster's clerk finding for this same body.
- **Randy Gentry (speaker_84)** and **Brenda Wilson (speaker_79)** reuse the
  name spellings confirmed for this body in the 2026-08-11 roster. Wilson's
  identity here rests on a committee-substitution inference chain rather
  than a direct address, so she is held at `probable`; per the archive
  contract's hard limit, the accusation-bearing content of her motion to
  fire the council attorney must not carry her name in a published highlight
  at this confidence.
- **Mark Clinkenbeard (speaker_64)** is a Vigo County Commissioner, not a
  council member, attending to coordinate the county-high-school oversight
  process; his vault roster entity (`Ledger/Entities/People/mark-clinkenbeard.md`)
  documents "Klinkenbeer"/"Klinkenbeard" as known ASR misrenderings of his
  surname, matching this transcript.
- **The council attorney (speaker_534)** is named once elsewhere in the
  transcript as "Samantha D'Wester" (ASR, uncertain spelling) but this label
  itself is never directly addressed by name — held `probable` on role and
  research-task-continuity evidence. No vault entity exists for her yet;
  the entity gate should confirm the correct spelling before this name ships
  on any highlight.
- **Two council members present per the roll (Nancy Allsup, Vicki Weger)
  never speak at length enough to be captured in the 20 substantial-speech
  labels** and are not assigned a label here — consistent with only naming
  what the transcript actually evidences.
- **Fourteen residents self-identify** for public comment on Resolution
  2026-2 (the West Vigo/North/South high-school consolidation, "6.2"); all
  are graded `confirmed` via self-identification, several split across two
  diarization labels within one continuous turn (Summer Liggett:
  speaker_339/343).
- No vote, accusation, or third-party characterization in this transcript is
  attributed to a name at `probable` in the analysis above — the hard limit
  in the archive contract's §12b applies to any highlight drawn from this
  roster.
