Compare to:
Sec. 7.35.7. Recovery of Attorneys’ Fees.
 
   The City may, pursuant to California Government Code Section 38773.5(b), recover attorneys’ fees in any action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding to abate a nuisance. If the City elects to seek attorneys’ fees, then attorneys’ fees shall be recovered by the prevailing party, rather than limiting recovery of attorneys’ fees to the City if it prevails. Recovery of attorneys’ fees by the prevailing party is limited to those individual actions or proceedings in which the City elects, at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees. In no action, administrative proceeding, or special 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.
