Speaker roster — Vigo County Council, 2026-08-11

Diarization returned 89 anonymous voice clusters for this meeting; 69 carry only sparse speech and are merged into <other> in the source transcript — those are out of scope for this roster. The 20 labels below carry substantial speech and are resolved against the roll call and closed set of people known to be present.

Method notes

  • Roll call establishes the closed set of council members: David Thompson (absent — "on a business trip" [t=33]), Brad Anderson, Brenda Wilson, Nancy Alsop, Randy Gentry, Vicki Wager, Steve Ellis. The roll is read, in this order, at nearly every vote.
  • The presiding/chair function (speaker_6, 15, 22, 30, 125) and the roll-reading/clerk function (speaker_10, 12, 25) are each almost certainly one person apiece, fragmented by diarization across several labels — the content of each group is functionally identical and the labels interleave rather than co-occur. No name was ever spoken for either role in this transcript, so both resolve to role_only. If the Council President's or Clerk's name is established from another source (agenda, prior roster, county records), this note should be corrected and the role_only grade upgraded.
  • Randy Gentry (speaker_42/152) and Brenda Wilson (speaker_49/55) are each confirmed via 3+ direct-address naming events and self-consistent argument threads spanning two diarization labels.
  • Diana Smith (Vigo County Recorder) and Jeff Fox (Sheriff's Office) are non-council witnesses who self-identify; Jeff Fox's testimony is split across three labels (139/142/199), two confirmed by direct proximity to the self-ID and one (199) graded probable.
  • Director Latimuk (Homes for Children) is named once by direct address and answers in the first person immediately after — probable, not confirmed, per the single-naming-event rule.
  • Neither of the two remaining unidentified councilmembers (speaker_187, speaker_183) is ever named or self-identifies; both stay role_only rather than being guessed into one of the four remaining roll-call names (Brad Anderson, Nancy Alsop, Vicki Wager, Steve Ellis), since nothing in the transcript ties a specific voice to a specific one of those four.
  • No vote, accusation, or third-party characterization in this transcript is attributed to a name at probable — the hard limit in the archive contract's §12b.
