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.
