In any action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding to abate a nuisance, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees. The recovery of attorneys’ fees by the prevailing party shall be limited to those actions or proceedings in which the City elects, at the initiation of that action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees. In no action or proceeding shall an award of attorneys’ fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the City in the action or proceeding. (Ord. 3472 § 12, 2012)
