Speaker roster — Vigo County Commissioners, 2026-09-29

Resolved against the diarized transcript for Ledger/Meetings/2026-09-29-vigo-county-commissioners.md. The agenda was a scanned PDF with no text, so there is no roll call. Diarization returned 58 labels for this ~21-minute meeting; only the 20 carrying substantial speech are resolved here. The 38 sparse labels were merged into <other> and are not invented entries.

Notes for the highlight stage

  • Only two commissioners were present. The chair says "Mr. Schweitzer has an excused absence this morning" [t=213]. This is Commissioner Chris Switzer; the transcript's "Schweitzer" is the known ASR misrendering. The closing line "glad to see Mark back from his trip" [t=1234] puts Mark Clinkenbeard in the room. The two commissioners present are therefore Clinkenbeard and Mike Morris.
  • No commissioner label can be tied to a name. Thirteen labels act as commissioners (speaker_8, 16, 17, 36, 35, 38, 75, 99, 13, 32, 81, 130, 176), all unnamed. That is heavy diarization splitting across two people. Write "the chair" or "a commissioner" in prose. Name no commissioner for any motion or vote.
  • Switzer is absent and does not speak. Do not attribute any vote or remark to him. The vault entity slug is chris-switzer; keep it in entities[] only if he is named in prose.
  • Probable names (Larry Hutchings, Scott) may be used for presenting only, never for a vote, accusation or characterization of a third party. Scott is a Sheriff's Office presenter in this meeting. The 2026-09-01 roster also has a "Scott" (an elected official). These are not shown to be the same person, so do not merge them.
  • All votes are voice votes ("all by aye"). Per §3.5, no numeric tally.
  • No voice-match data exists; every basis is textual.
