If the city elects at the initiation of an administrative enforcement action or proceeding to seek recovery of attorneys’ fees, pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.5(b), then the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred by the city in such action.
