B. 
Recovery of Attorneys' Fees Authorized. The prevailing party in any judicial action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding to abate a nuisance may recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, provided that the City elected, at the initiation of such individual action or proceeding, to recover its own attorneys' fees. In no judicial action or administrative proceeding shall an award of attorneys' fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the City in the judicial action or administrative proceeding. A judicial action includes, but is not limited to, any civil or criminal action, inspection or abatement warrant, administrative proceeding, or appeal from an administrative proceeding. "Abatement" shall include any action taken by the City to cause or otherwise obtain compliance with this municipal code or other codes, as specified herein, even if the violation is ultimately corrected by the violator. Any recovery of attorneys' fees for abatement of a nuisance shall be in accordance with this section.
