GOEO Board Meeting Minutes
Posted On February 10, 2026, at 1:51 PM

The Meeting Minutes include:

Proposed Motion
The Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity Incentives Committee recommends Nuovo Film Festival Incorporated (NFI) for an Industrial Assistance Account grant of $2,000,000 to operationalize key film ecosystem objectives through establishment of specialised programming, workforce, and infrastructure.
Judd Cook made the motion, Jeremy Andrus seconded the motion, and it passed with unanimous consent. (sic)

Conspicuously ABSENT from “the official record of the meeting”:

Source of the $2 million (Sundance reallocation)
  • Transcript: explanation that the funds “...previously allocated to Sundance… has come back,” framing the Nuovo funding as a repurposing of Sundance money.
  • Minutes: no mention of the prior Sundance allocation or that the funds are reallocated.
…This funding-source explanation is part of the substance of the matter and could reasonably be expected in a fair summary. Omitting it is not a technical violation as long as some substantive summary exists, but for an item whose core policy significance is tied to funding that was specifically and conditionally appropriated for a distinct purpose, the omission pushes against the statutory intent to capture the substance of what was discussed. —GOEO Meeting Transcript vs. Minutes (emphasis added)
