Filtering multiple regions by multiple fields?

My else statement brings back what I'm looking for but when I try and filter it by slug, my if it comes back empty. I've tried about everything I could find in forums, any suggestions?

My template (partial):

<a class="button resource" href="/town-government/meetings/minutes/<perch:content id="slug" type="slug" />">Meetings Minutes</a>

Code in minutes.php (partial)

if (perch_get('slug')) {
   // ... detail mode ...
   perch_content_custom(array('Main content', 'Meetings'), array(
       'page'=>'/town-government/boards-and-committees/*',
       'template'=>'meetings/meeting_minutes.html',
       'sort' => 'meeting_date',
       'sort-order' => 'DESC',
            'filter'=>array(
               array(
                    'filter' => 'meeting_date',
                    'match' => 'lte',
                    'value' => date('Y-m-d 23:59:59'),
               ),
               array(
                    'filter'=> 'slug',
                    'match'=>'eq',
                    'value'=> perch_get('slug'),
               ),
           )
        'each' => function($item) {
               if (isset($item['_pageID'])) {
                   $Content = PerchContent::fetch();
                   $Page = $Content->get_page_by_id($item['_pageID']);
                   if ($Page) {
                       $item['_page_title'] = $Page->pageTitle();
                   }
               }
               return $item;
            }
        ));

  } else {
         // ... list mode ...    
        perch_content_custom(array('Main content', 'Meetings'), array(
            'page'=>'/town-government/boards-and-committees/*',
            'template'=>'meetings/meeting_minutes_slug.html',
            'sort' => 'meeting_date',
            'sort-order' => 'DESC',
            'filter' => 'meeting_date',
            'match' => 'lte',
            'value' => date('Y-m-d 23:59:59'),
            'each' => function($item) {
                if (isset($item['_pageID'])) {
                    $Content = PerchContent::fetch();
                    $Page = $Content->get_page_by_id($item['_pageID']);
                    if ($Page) {
                        $item['_page_title'] = $Page->pageTitle();
                    }
                }
                return $item;
            }
         ));
}

You're pulling content from multiple regions - are they using the same template?

Drew thank you, your question sparked me to rethink my approach. Turns out that with the added each function, I didn't need both regions. Then I ended up grabbing the slug and adding it to the 'page=>' option to eliminate a lot of stuff that was over complicating things.

Final code:

if (perch_get('slug')) {

    perch_content_custom('Meetings', array(
            'page'=> '/town-government/boards-and-committees/'.perch_get('slug'),
            'template'=>'meetings/meeting_minutes.html',
            'sort' => 'meeting_date',
            'sort-order' => 'DESC',
            'each' => function($item) {
                if (isset($item['_pageID'])) {
                    $Content = PerchContent::fetch();
                    $Page = $Content->get_page_by_id($item['_pageID']);
                    if ($Page) {
                        $item['_page_title'] = $Page->pageTitle();
                    }
                }
                return $item;
            }
        ));
}
