jschramm@minotdailynews.com An aging drainage system for the Dakota Square Mall area won’t last much longer, according to engineers. Money for a more modern system is the big hurdle, and the Minot City Council took a step it hopes will address that obstacle in approving an application for a federal grant Tuesday. The city is seeking about $9.4 million from the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The city wants to resolve flooding potential associated with the Puppy Dog Coulee, one of the five major drainage basins around the city of Minot. The drainage basin is about 9,500 acres, most of it outside city limits. In comparison, that’s about the equivalent of 53% of the city’s land area, according to Minot City Engineer Lance Meyer.
