West Terre Haute Town Council — 2026-08-10 — speaker roster

Diarized labels resolved against the town's own published roster (Dave Elkins, Town Board President; Jody Roach, Vice President; Travis Walters, member — see Ledger/Entities/Bodies/west-terre-haute-town-council.md) and against internal transcript evidence (self-identification, direct address, role function, and cross-label sentence continuity).

No roster member surfaced with a clean 3+ direct-address naming event in this transcript, so speaker_20 (chair-function evidence only) is graded probable rather than confirmed. Several council-member labels (speaker_61, speaker_64, speaker_94, speaker_212, speaker_213, speaker_374) show clearly distinct, active voices but carry no naming evidence at all — more distinct council voices than the three-member roster currently lists, consistent with that entity note's own caveat that the roster may be stale. They are recorded role_only rather than guessed onto Elkins, Roach, or Walters specifically, per the hard rule against picking a name when evidence doesn't support one.

Two labels (speaker_222, speaker_318) show contradictory content mid-turn — splicing between what reads as presenter speech and council speech — and are marked role_only as contaminated clusters rather than merged onto either candidate.

Three visiting presenters were largely fragmented across multiple labels by diarization over their long, uninterrupted turns and have been merged: Whitney of Epic Insurance (speaker_34, anchor; speaker_36, speaker_39 merged), the Baker Tilly municipal advisor introduced as "Susan" (speaker_215, anchor; speaker_218 merged), and Riley Duffy presenting the SRF lead-service-line grant (speaker_499, anchor; speaker_516 merged). Kevin, the clerk-treasurer/town manager who gives every fund's financial report, is similarly split (speaker_412, anchor; speaker_52 merged).

151 sparse labels merged into <other> by the upstream diarization pass are out of scope for this roster and are not represented here.
