Solved it..
forced the values to be set like this
<cfif IsDefined("url.person_id")>
<cfset arguments.person_id = url.person_id>
<cfelse>
<cfset arguments.person_id = "">
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("url.list")>
<cfset arguments.list = url.list>
<cfelse>
<cfset arguments.list = "">
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("url.dept_no_search")>
<cfset arguments.dept_no_search = url.dept_no_search>
<cfelse>
<cfset arguments.dept_no_search = "">
</cfif>
Sometimes you just have to visualize it and then the answer comes..
