In any action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding initiated by the city to abate a nuisance, the prevailing party may recover attorneys' fees. 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. The award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party shall in no circumstances exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the city in the action or proceeding.
