Well if agency_selected already _is_ a List then you only should switch
the parameters of the "in" statement:

    agency_name in agency_selected
    (element	in  list)

If you need to split it, and have a problem with empty Values try:
    _.string.split(agency_selected, ",")
which returns an empty list if agency_selected is an empty string.
