WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The Sedgwick County Commission will spend $5.3 million to build an elephant bar at the zoo in Wichita.

The commission voted on Wednesday to spend part of the city reserves to build the barn as part of the new $10.5 million exhibit for the elephants.

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is requiring that its zoos that house female elephants have at least three elephants by September 2016. The Sedgwick County Zoo currently has only two elephants.

The Wichita Eagle reports the zoo wants to bring in four more elephants and hopes to eventually have a breeding herd. The Sedgwick County Zoological Society has raised $4.3 million toward the exhibit and pledged to raise the rest if the county agreed to build the 18,500-square-foot barn.
