Goldwater's wording on this is always amusing, first saying the city has the rights then adding, "and even if they didn't ......." with the semantic argument $100 million couldn't be generated in any event. They don't seem so sure of their own argument.

This type of "in the alternative" language is pretty standard in legal documents. It is meant to cover your butt if the judge doesn't buy your first line of argumentation, and you need to go to a second. I really wouldn't read too much into it, it is merely an effective legal drafting technique.
