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.
