In any action, administrative proceeding or special proceeding to abate a nuisance, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of attorney fees. The recovery of attorney fees by the prevailing party shall be 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 attorney fees. In no action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding shall an award of attorney fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorney fees incurred by the city in the action or proceeding. The city attorney shall thereafter cause a report of the action and an accurate account of costs to be filed with the city clerk. (Ord. 2812, 2015)
