SANTA MONICA—A $6 million budget was approved by the City Council about a month before the “Santa Monica Promenade” celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Downtown Santa Monica attracts about 40,000 visitors per day.

DTSM also known as Downtown Santa Monica, will use the budget to run and market the city’s major business.

A 3 percent increase was estimated from the private non-profits’ budget since last year. A budget of $173,000 remains from the previous year.

In addition to the $6 million budget, the city has passed the “DTSM Work Plan.” The “Work Plan” indicates the activities the organization decides to implement in the upcoming year with specifics.
