Presenters described substantive claims, statutory remedies, procedural deadlines, and potential statewide compliance risks tied to federal funding and the MUTCD. Substantive legal theory: Lutz alleges many app-directed parking signs lack required regulatory text and display commercial logos, violating the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Florida traffic statutes; noncompliant signs are characterized as public nuisances and therefore legally unenforceable and removable. The petitions also assert that app-based vendor practices siphon municipal funds through revenue splits and convenience fees, and seek rules capping vendor compensation at actual interchange costs and banning per-ticket private compensation or privatized citation issuance. Procedural strategy and leverage: The filings are Chapter 120 administrative petitions\u2014declaratory statements (90\u2011day response) and rulemaking petitions (30\u2011day response)\u2014designed to force timely agency action rather than prolonged inaction. Presenters emphasized that a 2018 constitutional change eliminated judicial deference, requiring de novo review by administrative law judges, which increases the likelihood agencies will be reversed on appeal if orders conflict with plain statutory or MUTCD text. Privacy and minors: Petitions raise privacy and parental-consent concerns, arguing that requiring drivers, including 16\u201317\u2011year\u2011old minors, to accept app terms and surrender location\/payment data may bind minors without verified parental consent; the petitions request verifiable parental-consent mechanisms in the apps. Regulatory and funding implications: Presenters tied the sign noncompliance to a Florida Department of Transportation memo and federal highway funding rules to argue a potential statewide federal\u2011compliance risk. The approach was framed as a low\u2011cost procedural blueprint leveraging existing statutes to compel transparency and administrative change as municipal parking systems become more digital and automated.
